Only watched part of this, but not too surprising. Between NVidia’s high prices on GPUs with their fake MSRPs, shrinkflationing GPUs with a 5070 Ti working more like a midrange GPU and a 5060 a budget GPU, at high prices, and questionable business practices.

Times like these makes me glad that I have a RX 7900 XTX, but of course would like some of that 5090/4090 performance, but not at that price.

Today on Quarantine Control on @damagecontrolblog, I wrote about Gamer Nexus' video about the end of affordable computing. @Dio_Senrab wrote about Conclave. CWTyger warned us to say way from the anime, I Can’t Understand What My Husband Is Saying.

Damage Control Blog · Quarantine Control #266: Understand the Conclave Nexus – Damage Control BlogBecause you won't find the answer to that in *this* post.

Watch this video if you want to understand how #tariffs are going to smash the hell out of the US #retail sector.

It shows the cost of products from imagination to door and the thin margins the company make.

Thank you for this #gamersnexus

The #tRump tariffs are insane. That 🤡 is too stupid to know what he doesn't know.

The factories can't move to the #US as he demands.. the suppliers are in #China

Here's the ramifications of the moron in chief's actions.

can't sleep?

amazing 3H vid RE: tariffs... some highlights so far:

1 GN inteviews US manufacturers
2 behind the scenes of HYTE actual costs
3 before tariffs, a $130 MSRP case costs HYTE $95 to make. They get $5 margin, the store gets $30
4 w/ proposed tariffs, *THEIR COST* goes to $214
5 HYTE is *NO LONGER SHIPPING TO THE US*. Once they are out of inventory, they are * dried out *

Gamers Nexus tonight posted a THREE HOUR DEEP DIVE on how Trump's tariff regime is completely fucking _one segment_ of the computer industry: custom computers and components including gaming PCs.

I have now watched all of it.

IT IS WORTH YOUR TIME.

I _never_ say that shit about a video this long but it is a documentary of _goddamn note_.

The transparency from Hyte in particular - it's stunning. They're just dumping pricing trade secrets because they literally can't do business in the US as things stood at time of shooting.

And this is just _one_ industry.

$600 for a PC case, anyone?

Not too surprising since the latest NVidia generations with their performance uplift hasn't been that great. Basically a 4070 is basically a 4060 and a 4060 is a 4050. It feels like a ripoff.

May as well just get that Switch 2 or a PS5, a good value GPU is basically the price of the PC, and it doesn't include the rest of the computer.
