yep. i took out a loan early in the year to build my new pc, knowing this ai shit along with the tariffs was going to make prices bonkers af, and i needed an upgrade anyway. 8% interest on a couple grand personal loan is better than paying 4x the price in cash

i tried monjaro and garuda, seem to have had the best luck so far with pop_os out of the box. running an AMD ryzen 7 9800x3d and RTX 5070-- other distros apparently hated these things

you do you. enjoy your convenience. for my part, i will continue to spend $0.00 for the privilege of being the product.

all of these brands can take their smart devices and go fuck themselves with it. “convenient” GTFO

edit: it’s incredible to me, that people put as much trust as they do in the entire world

ok. tell me your account and routing numbers

“ok. tell me your account and routing numbers then”

it doesn’t take much critical thinking to conclude that smart tvs are bullshit, but apparently too much for most people
