lol fucking mac Tried it on my girlfriends PC and the first thing i found out is it doesnt even have a native fucking volume mixer and you cant change the slow ass animation speeds because daddy tim decides how you use your devices. Always wondered what you crybabies use instead of windows which of course isnt perfect but by far better than dogshit like mac
Because companies like Samsung actually supply the underlying parts? Take the memory or storage, that’s not Google. You can look at many mobile devices, PC or even data centers. You’re going to find that Google doesn’t produce much but puts things together and creates a markup. You will find NVDA for GPU, Korean SK Hynix, Micron, and Samsung.
If you want a fast deep dive for NOW or any stock, check out this site [QuickTick](https://www.quicktick.ai/company?ticker=NOW). It’ll give you a solid overview of the company. The site is better on PC instead of mobile tho just FYI
with that much upfront cost / invest, it would take all of them years and years of breaking even and / actually turning a profit. its all smoke and mirrors. the big AI companies lose money with every request , every api call and every second of compute power used. what they are doing is the same thing private AI users do: buying a high end GPU and PC, to run a local LLM , and saying its free / saves them money, while ignoring the upfront invest and power needed to keep it running. without having a clear path to ever recoup that money
Yes and I also have $5 in my bank account and $15 in GOOG stock as well as this PC I am writing from with 8 GB ram worth $100
Yeah....buy a VPN..learn to sail the seas and now everything you'd ever want to watch is maybe $100/yr depending on which company you go with. I use PIA and its cheap and works on mobile and PC
I built a $7000 PC (it's worth over $9000 now) with a 5090, 64GB of DDR5 RAM, and 4TB of NVMe storage. I don't even play video games, I just want to stare at it like jewelry knowing I just made things more expensive for you gamers LOL
it's true that I may go bankrupt in the next six months. but it's also true that AI bears will go down in history as the dumbest blindest screechingest fucking retards since PC bears.
What products? They killed xbox, they killed windows 10 and ruined 11, they contributed to the death of affordable PCs -- which was the entire thing keeping them afloat from the start -- and they replaced "Office" with "Copilot" and literally nobody wants it for free, let alone for a price that'll pay off the CAPEX. They worked very hard to replace software dev with AI tools and got beat bad by a different AI company and now nobody values the software dev side of their business, they failed to penetrate the mobile market at all and now most people use their phones and tablets for everything and trends have reversed towards young people growing up without knowing how to use a PC. MSFT probably isn't "going away" tomorrow, but they are almost certainly going to continue to go down. Hold now while it drops and buy if and when it starts on a stable rise.
Does anyone like Principal PC from South Park?
Microsoft? Really? It's called Microslop now for a reason. You must not be following the tech news. Microsoft recently released a nice vibecoded update that blocked people from shutting down their PC. And Microsoft is set to lose a massive chunk of business thanks to the orange turd, as foreign governments are moving away from all US cloud services and are migrating (or at least planning to) to EU datacenters or on premise hosting with EU and open source software.
I can't access wsb on my PC browser but the app works fine. Other than that I am fine, thanks for asking. Only down 4k
My PC is outperforming my portfolio. Is the play to cash everything out and go all in on physical RAM?
No lie, Reddit has blocked my PC session from WSB, thinking I’m a bot
I will scribe this in my PC diary. -Thank you
How can you 'realize' a loss if you never look at your Copilot PC again? Just delete system32.
I've had really good luck with Linux, going back to the '90s. Worked pretty much flawlessly on every machine I've tried installing it on. Linux just saved my big expensive Windows PC, which for some reason became hopelessly unstable 2 months ago, to the point where it could barely boot. Absolutely could not diagnose the problem - tried rolling Windows back (problems started after an update and rapidly got worse), updating / rolling back drivers, updating the BIOS (which made it worse), spent days fiddling, nothing worked, Windows wasn't giving any useful clues in its error logs or crash messages (which it threw crash messages, which was rare - mostly it just locked up). I eventually nuked Windows and re-installed. That made things worse. I assumed it was some kind of hardware failure at this point - CPU, MB, graphics card - and the proximity to the Windows update was just a coincidence. I finally installed Linux, which also threw a series of error messages as it tried and failed to startup. But unlike Windows, the Linux error messages pointed to some kind of CPU caching as the root cause. I went into the BIOS and flipped the relevant setting and voila! Linux could boot successfully and run indefinitely. So could Windows now. Thing saved me hundreds of dollars.
Yeeting things into orbit is not free. Also, even if some stuff is obsolete in 3 years, not every single part will be, this is like incinerating your PC every time you want to add a RAM stick.
on your PC?! why not a server box. much more efficient. lol id use this thing very productive. But lol buying 96GB of DDR5 right now seems like.. i earn good, but TF not that good xD
That 96GB DDR5 in my PC is now worth more than my port
I want to upgrade my PC, but hardware prices are through the roof 😭
Their CPUs are definitely not second grade. They have the fastest mobile CPUs in the market, and their second gen PC CPUs have significantly higher compute/power compared to latest Intel/AMD CPUs.
Qualcomm has the majority of mobile market. There is a Qualcomm chip in almost every new car nowadays, increasingly powering communication, the computing and the ADAS systems for the car. Now they are also going after the PC market, where their chips is the only one that comes close to Apple's chips in compute/power. Qualcomm sells most consumer facing AI chips in the world because every mobile and PC chip they sell has an NPU unit dedicated for AI. Hardly a dying company.
I saw this and it confirmed no PC upgrades for me until 2027 at the earliest.
But they also make cpu that goes into PC and laptops. Those are getting more expensive with DRAM prices. So you may have folks balking at $$$ increase in laptop cost or have to downgrade specs to afford a laptop. Or just simple not upgrade.
Like Google I'll earn 130k this year and spend 180k on gaming PC components. Seems like healthy spending pattern. I'll just tell my wife that the PC will get us returns at some point in CS2 knife market
Uh, nope. Onky corpos will use "cloud conputing"...every normal consumer is going to prefer to own their own PC and not rent.
PC chips and Dorito chips don't count
Part of the reason they've done so well in the past is releasing between console generations. GTA5 released on 360 and PS3, then PC, then Xbone and PS4, THEN Xbox Series X and PS5. The tech gap between console generations is never going to be as high as it was in the past. That's not to say that the game won't sell well on release, but probably you won't see people jumping to buy rereleases like in the past. If it isn't optimized for your average PC user, like the state many new games are being released in today, you will see a huge dip in sales compared to 5.
Someone donated an absolutely insane PC to my office that is beyond overkill for anything my team could possibly do and if I don’t think of something crazy to do with this shit they’re going to take my baby away from me This shit has 2 A100s and 512gb ram ffs
Yeah everything is just too expensive. Not just the system, the games too. Hell I wouldn’t be surprised if I never buy a console again. I’ve had the same gaming PC about 4 years now and it still plays everything I need it to. Why would I shell out so much cash for a system when I don’t need one?
I use the same think now that I did in 1995. A fucking PC. 4 CRT's was the shit!!
Yeah its supposed to be normal downwind. PC sales are seasonal but market wants the AI money printer to go BRRRRR!
One thing I have learned over the years investing is you always buy MSFT when it dips like this. Linux was going to destroy Windows, Open office was going to destroy office, Chromebooks were going to destroy the whole PC market, cloud was going to destroy Microsoft. Every time it dips, every time I buy and it recovers and goes wild. I bet you don’t go through one day of your life without interacting with Microsoft product, can’t really say that about any other company. Regarding AI, the other big boys are relying on advertising, they don’t really make anything that makes anything, unlike Microsoft whose products are in every enterprise that makes anything. I don’t know how this current AI project that is being undertaken by big tech will turn out, but it’s a safe bet that if anyone does it’s Microsoft.
Wall Street concerned that AI will cannibalize software businesses. Backburner concern is that AI is one big Ouroboros consuming everything. Who needs hedge funds, PE, PC, I-banks, fintech when AI can do all of it?
In the 1980's IBM wasn't going anywhere, then someone bought a PC to work.
When I started in I.T, PC's were a bit of a joke, as was Microsoft. IBM was the only brand you touched when it came to the enterprise. Then it all changed overnight. Not saying this will happen re google, but with google coming out with a new Android Desktop (and chromebooks already making a mark in education), the industry often moves to whatever the young people are gelling with. Not everything is coding related either when it come to AI, there's probably a bigger future in robotics. Gemini will prob be the consumer/personal assistant AI.
Despite AMD delivering a broadly stronger‑than‑expected earnings report, the stock fell roughly 5% after hours. The decline reflects not the results themselves, but the market’s extremely demanding valuation framework. Revenue came in at $10.3B versus the $9.65B consensus, and EPS of $1.53 far exceeded expectations. Data Center remained the sole growth engine, reaching $5.4B (+39% YoY) on strong MI300/MI325 demand. Client and Gaming revenue rose to $3.9B (+37%), signaling a PC‑cycle rebound. Gross margin held at 57%, but next‑quarter guidance was cut to 55%, interpreted as a warning that AMD may be sacrificing pricing to win share from NVIDIA or absorbing higher HBM/TSMC costs. The stock’s weakness stems from “guidance failing to match valuation.” AMD has rallied over 110% in a year—far outpacing NVIDIA—and now trades near 120x earnings. Markets no longer reward “beats”; they demand “miracles.” Although Q1 guidance slightly exceeded expectations, the 5% sequential decline (seasonal Gaming weakness) gave bears an opening. The $100M MI308 China‑specific revenue included in Q1 also raised concerns about long‑term sustainability under shifting geopolitical rules. Meanwhile, legacy businesses (consoles, embedded) remain soft, diluting the high‑margin AI narrative. The bull case argues AMD is the second‑largest beneficiary of the “compute tax.” With TSMC’s AI capacity constrained, hyperscalers must support AMD as a strategic alternative to NVIDIA. ROCm performance now matches CUDA across major frameworks, lowering switching costs. CEO Lisa Su is known for conservative guidance, leaving room for future upside. Bears counter that NVIDIA’s next architecture may widen the performance gap again, forcing AMD into a price‑driven strategy that caps margins. Cloud providers’ in‑house ASIC development also threatens AMD more than NVIDIA. With a forward P/E near 37, any stumble in MI450 development could trigger a sharp derating. Across the supply chain, AMD’s results confirm that North American hyperscaler AI CapEx remains in expansion mode—benefiting TSMC, HBM suppliers (SK Hynix, Micron), and networking vendors. Technically, AMD must hold the $225–$230 support zone; a breakdown would signal market doubts about the durability of its AI story. The key variable for the next two quarters is whether the 3nm MI450 can tape out on schedule. If it does, AMD will finally have the firepower to challenge NVIDIA’s dominance.
They will definitely be losing a lot of customers. I mean they already are, look at any OS marketshare chart and look at how Windows has been slowly declining for nearly 2 decades. People are moving to Macs, Chromebooks, and with Linux getting even easier to install and use, Linux is going to start taking over. My YouTube is suddenly filled with people complaining about Windows 11 and then trying out some sort of Linux distro, I genuinely believe Linux will see a huge rise over the coming decade. I built my first gaming PC over Christmas (As a Mac user, I was partly excited to try out Windows again having not used it since Windows XP) and realised Windows 11 really is awful, then found out about Bazzite which is basically just SteamOS. Found out I don’t even need Windows, I didn’t even get around to paying to activate it. With Bazzite and the Steam Machine on the horizon, that’s PC gamers sorted. Then you’ve got countries like France creating their own distro with GendBuntu. China, South Korea, India, Germany, Denmark, all migrating to some form of Linux in some capacity.
NVIDIA, go back to making PC components for middle aged men who are gonna get yelled at by their wife when she gets home because they just gamed and didn't do a single goddamn chore.
Initial analyst reaction explainer was that AMD had some China sales during the quarter that was not expected. So if you subtract those out, the best is not that impressive. Also mentions of RAM prices possibly pulling in more PC demand this past quarter as people rush to buy before prices go even higher on RAM. This means next quarters’ PC sales could take a hit as people hesitate or delay buying a new PC because of high RAM prices.
SMCI dusting off the FALLOUT PC to get their numbers right
>I almost forgot there were ads on YouTube since ad blockers are a thing now. True, if I was on the PC more, that might make it worth it more for the ad blocking. Didn't think that was possible in the app though. Interesting feedback though, and I appreciate it. Maybe I'm showing my age preferring to pay for streaming services on the TV.
No clue man. Ive always stuck with what I know and that has been PC gaming. That has led me to al lmy favorite stocks.
They've been around since the mid-1970s, which coincides with the advent of the PC... since they're a computer software/technology company. They have dominated the entire lifespan of that industry for about 50 years without faltering. It wouldn't make sense to predict their failure arbitrarily. On the other hand, it would make sense to assume that they'll continue to be a leader in a market that they've controlled since inception.
Tech disruption always leads to short-term job losses. PC, internet, smartphones - all these things cut jobs and made some industries suffer. Well, they also created jobs and investment opportunities, and the economy continued to grow. AI is the future, that's why investors want exposure to AI. It doesn't mean all AI stocks will be great investments, though.
nice. that makes a lot of sense - got any idea about rating agencies/commercial services? maybe it's connected because they play a role in PC/PE too and rate all their debt?
AI is cancer for stocks. I need Microshit to announce they are done fucking around with AI and selling all their data centers to GOOG or some shit. Oh and that they are focusing on getting Elder Scrolls 6 released and that it will be an Xbox and PC exclusive. 500 by eow
Could’ve had a great PC set up with 2k now would have to settle for a sub par one.
No it works on my PC even
Being a PC gamer I learned about the increase in like October/November. I am kicking myself for not making the connection and getting in earlier.
AMD was the result of a lot of coincidences. My brother is 16 years older than I am so I always bothered him a lot. He usually let me watch TV in his room but sometimes let me play TMNT on his computer. The first ones that were in black and white. That sparked an interest in games I’ve kept until today. Games are cool, best on PC. So I got into making computers. AMD is one half of that market and was cheap. So I grew up using them and really got into it. So when they announced the specs for Zen I knew it was big. A lot of luck and the result of playing with turtles.
You retards remind me of the boomers who can't tell CPU and PC apart lmao, MU makes DRAM and HBM, Idk why you're grouping SNDK with MU when they're making NAND flash memory just like STX and WDC
Planning to build a 9800x3d+5090 with the gains from my MU calls. Soaring DRAM price means more affordable PC confirmed
My counterpoint: - gaming as a segment is moving downmarket. The juice is not worth the squeeze for AAA titles and they make way more money with mobile games. - apply a moore’s law curve to this tech and it does start to compete pretty strongly with incumbents. - gaming in the future could look more like world AR / seamless than sitting at home with a PC or oculus (imagine solo leveling with a HUD or Pokémon Go). My bull case for unity would be to be acquired by Meta, Google, or Apple and used as part of a platform play. I could see it being more useful to Meta to help build a more robust content library ahead of their broader push into AR glasses.
having 64gb ram in PC and laptop is a flex now
If we open green my play is simple. U is way too oversold because of Google’s genie nonsense… it doesn’t make sense at all and is the biggest overreaction I’ve seen in a long time. The beta testing 3D “video game” ai prompt software will be years before it becomes viable. It’s an interactive movie that runs sub 30fps and has dementia when it comes to repeating assets and environments. If the test play videos i’ve seen FROM GOOGLE THEMSELVES is only this. I can only imagine the full release to be dogshit if it even runs on home PC’s (not to mention consoles). How does Unity drop over 20% from this beats me but i’m putting my money where my mouth is and playing a sharp bounce back. EDIT: I just tried to open the genie sight it crashes when I try to request access. I wonder if this is also a problem for other?
I am hoping the investor bros who thought they could get rich fast, will continue to wash out into AI, and the geeks and gamers can take the reins again. Just because people are experts in one field, even an entertainment field, like linear films and tv, does not mean they understand what makes a great game. In my experience, those folks have been washing out for some time. I am overall bullish. We won't see gains like 2020, but we'll get back to steady games. Stating the obvious, but I am looking at who has robust mobile offerings, as well. Gen Alpha will all have phones. Consoles seem to be struggling and PC costs are insane.
It gonna takes years before you can play it on PS5 or PC. That video that show the "gameplay" is more like a game's cut screen than actually gameplay.
I love the privacy people when they own an iPhone or Android device, have a smartTV that records and aggregates what they watch, has a PC with Windows 11 that collects and aggregates usage and camera data. But an intersection’s camera is an invasion of privacy
And don't forget it is easier for an IT department to deploy a thousand pc's than a macbook Why do so many business and people in general use PC over a Mac? : r/ITCareerQuestions https://share.google/QhgnpPcUxSPg9k9mG
Starlink isn't for people who have access to cable or fiber. It's for people like me who live in the country and my only options are radio tower or GEO internet. I've had it since the beta program in 2021 and it's been life changing for me. I'm able to have Starbase Live on constantly on my TV while gaming on my PC with no problems. My speeds have basically doubled since I got I and is now comparable to some cable options in the nearby towns. My latency has also never been a problem. It's also unlimited
Wtf is wrong with my PC, there is a burning smell coming out whenever I launch a game
My apartment has the absolute worst insulation lmao. The thermostat isn't even able to maintain 70. I have to boot up my PC and play helldivers to supplement my thermostat with GPU heating 🔥
I mean, everything gets more expensive over time. Wasn’t expecting subscription services to get cheaper or stay the same. In theory, subscription services are cheaper if you don’t subscribe to every single one of them. Only having a subscription to Netflix is much cheaper form of entertainment than having cable. The worst was paying for cable when some people only watch 3 channels. The option of choice is so much greater now. There’s a lot of people who play games who get their hardware (PC, console, or mobile) and also have a gaming subscription on top of that. Can’t we just cut out the hardware part eventually? Cloud gaming isn’t ready yet though, it still has a lot of work to do.
Not nearly as much no, but like I said, on PC you have options to give you DRM free games through storefronts like GOG. Files that are yours and not a borrowed license. but that’s honestly all besides the point. Never owning anything is a really depressing future. I would never hope for any situation that takes away even more ownership.
It's not even that. It's how demanding modern games are on PC's. There is no way a A.I. game could be optimized on a computer... oh wait, the industry is turning to game streaming now. Still, AI is so primitive that it can't recognize how many Rs are in strawberry. It won't be able to produce a comprehensive game within this decade. And even then, we probably are probably not even going to get Wolfenstein 3D complexity.
Physical copies on console yes. Do people really still buy physical copies on PC?
Sold my Roblox items for BTC which ballooned by 80% and bought a new PC with it 🤷🏻
I really hope the cloud catches up fast for gaming. I know people are tired of streaming companies but with PC gaming starting to cost thousands of dollars I hope streaming games comes around at some point.
They actually have a point. They won't be on par, but any time playing AI-made games will be time people don't have for GTA. For each game made with the budget of GTA 6, there's probably tens of thousands of games that can be made with AI. And the studios won't be entirely making games from AI with a single prompt. It will be used to create art assets, 3d models, etc. Think about this like fashion. Someone into fashion will always know which brands are quality and which brands they never heard of. but someone not into fashion or just see fashion as clothes to keep you warm and prevent people from seeing your genitalia will just buy whatever is cheap. They can recognize that Prada is giving them a better product, but they don't care about spending the $500 on a Prada product vs $50 on something they see at Target. A gamer will never buy an AI-made game. But some people who are non-gamers looking for something cheap to do on the weekend will buy the $5 AI-made game instead of the $70+ AAA game made by a studio. It happened for mobile games already. mobile games are known for being lower quality than PC and console games, but most people who are gamers play on mobile.
Question for experienced investors, individual stocks or not? I’m 27 years old and have been investing for 2 years now. Before I started, I self learned a lot about retirement and investment strategies and the one that made the most sense to me was a slight variation of bogglehead strategy where I’m 100% in index/mutual funds across my 3 investment accounts split up with roughly 70-80% USA / 20-30% Intl. That being said I continue to question if I am making the right choice by 100% omitting individual stocks. Part of me feels I am not taking enough risks and that fear of risk might add 5-10 years to my potential retirement horizon. I keep thinking back to HS (2015-2017) when my dad gifted me $1000 to practice investing. Back then I had just finished reading rich dad poor dad and the biggest piece of advice that stuck to me from that book is to invest in what you see in your day to day life. I chose to put it all in Netflix since since I saw it dominating (cable tv was dying and my school used iPads and I saw ppl watch Netflix daily + the whole “Netflix and chill” thing was becoming a big part of Gen Z/young millennial culture). Anyways I had zero long term thinking back then with money and I ended up liquidating my entire Robin Hood account in college when I was short of money, made profit of a maybe $300 or $400 dollars IIRC. Lesson learned, that stock would have been a big winner if I had long term view and just held/added to position. Few years ago during COVID (still not in the investing mindset at this time), PC gaming was on the rage (a huge shift from console gaming to pc gaming was occurring during this time) I kept hearing the name nvidia pop up. I new nothing about the company and just assumed they were a major pc graphic card company, I didn’t realize they were an up and coming company. if I was in the investing mindset I would have chosen them for the same reason I chose Netflix it was what I was seeing on a day to day basis dominate the talk. When I was a kid everyone wanted Xbox or PlayStation, now kids want PC’s. All this to say I see from my personal experience there is a great benefit to investing in individual companies but I am wondering if I am just letting greed/FOMO/confirmation bias to lead me to this thought or not. Any 20+ year investors want to share their thoughts on what they would do in my position?
GPUs are 2000$, RAM is 1000$. But gamers are supposed to have the money to afford whatever PC it requires to run AI generated game in real time? Most steam users are poor af
Ubisoft’s going bankrupt, Roblox is Epstein’s second island, and the overall market is incredibly saturated. No sane individual pays full price for games anymore and the affordability crisis has turned off a lot of gamers. Can’t even build a PC nowadays without selling your soul
Am I annoyed that I had to leave the PC today during the last hour of the day and wasn’t able to sell my calls? Little bit.
98% of shitposting comes from PC users.
Spent over $2K on a Lenovo laptop with Nvidia 4080 graphics. The battery is dead and throwing errors, and the laptop regularly freezes, which, after all my troubleshooting is most likely a fucked mainboard. Basically over $2K thrown down the toilet for a laptop not even two years old. Not to mention Windows is a hot mess. I've been a life long PC guy, bur Apple is starting to look like the best alternative.
Idk why the dummies below you are dogpiling you, a Mac is a well rounded product, with a PC of similar price there may be ONE feature that benchmarks higher, and everything other than that one “benchmark sales getter” item will be worse
Partly because windows sucks so much now. Windows 11 is awful and the forced OneDrive integration and AI is eternally painful. I have never owned a mac but if I stop using my gaming PC I would switch to a mac mini.
The OS does not determine the life span of the computer, it's the hardware that does. You can change and reinstall an OS as many times as you want, it's not gonna impact the life of the machine. If you buy a shitter with shit hardware it's not going to last long. Macbooks are expensive for a reason, and any PC with equal quality parts will last just as long, and generally perform better too.
Not really, building your own PC is not a 1:1 with laptops. And windows laptops can leave a lot to be desired. I'd spend more for an ARM chip that doesn't require cooling and sips battery over an intel machine. Display is up there with premium windows laptops. Its a milled body versus paneling. There is nothing in the windows laptop market that is similar at a cheaper price point. There are a lot of benefits over Macbooks, the only benefit you may get is some more ram and storage for the price. I've owned cheap windows laptops, premium windows laptops and am on my first macbook, and I'm blown away.
Where's that retard with the Corsair DD from December? He somehow thought higher component prices would mean more margin and not that nobody would be able to afford a gaming PC
incorrect, China doesn't have the technology to make data center quality NAND chips, at best they can step into the consumer PC market. They are essentially not allowed to use the advanced US/Dutch manufacturing tools/machines needed to make the more advanced/expensive data center/A.I. memory. In terms of HBM China can only produce HBM2, while Micron and SK Hynix are selling out of HBM3E and moving to HBM4
Any PC that isnt garbage should last for 10+ years
Copilot kinda sucks compared to Gemini and ChatGPT. PC's typicaly run Microsoft Windows on Intel (or AMD) processors. Look at what happened to Intel. Microsoft's probably increasingly being viewed as staid and old school. Their involvement with Open AI may be being discounted more lately given Gemini's success.
Yes and make it an Xbox exclusive. Same with CoD. (PC releases too obv) Sony does that shit all the time fuck them
With memory prices these days. Nobody can afford a Microsoft PC
Honestly, it'll probably be the next Xbox rebounding it back since it is supposed to be a hybrid PC/console. If they ever announced Windows Phone; there'd be an even bigger jump. Just bring out a phone with a blackberyish keyboard/setup with Windows on it. Windows on ARM exists.
You can't figure out how to shutdown your own PC?
Microsoft and its suite is in every office and school PC. It also provides cloud storage for almost every application you use. Open AI is a part of its portfolio not all of it. Plus they also are indirectly competing with it via CoPilot. While you’re all dooming, I’m scooping it up. Everytime the market overreacts to MSFT, it shoots back up at ATH in a few weeks.
AI video is a storage monster, and WD is right in the middle of it. Every model trained on video (cars, robots, security, media, medical, retail, sports, YouTube, TikTok, Hollywood, surveillance, etc.) needs massive, cheap, reliable storage. GPUs are expensive — storage has to scale faster and cheaper. So WD isn’t just a “PC drive company” anymore, it’s a data exhaust company for AI.
Im switching to Linux if they don't remove Copilot from Windows soon. It slows down my PC and i will never use it ever. If i need AI search, i use my browser thanks. Nothing should be run local imo. It's a huge security risk and resource hog.
Windows 11: *Copilot is amazing and is here to change your life* Also Windows 11: *yeah, you searched for “My PC” but here’s a Bing web search for My PC. Also, you made a custom Group Policy to manually choose your drivers, but we decided it’s best to update all your drivers each time your PC sleeps, which we also control because of spaghetti slop code so you really don’t have a choice. Also, we have beef with AMD so every fucking AMD component you have will just shit the fan for no fucking reason because we vibe coded all of 11.*
Corsair going to $0 because consumer PC building is dead and data centers don’t need gaming mice
PC business is doing awfully and the broader software sales are middling. This is becoming a pure cloud play and it’s why this is trading around 30x PE.
all these AI components stocks making 40-50% margin, PC gaming is killed
AI is all about insane CAPEX costs. As a PC Gamer I am glad I built my new PC 4 months ago, ram and GPU prices are going to be rough for a long time.
Did you take a picture with your phone of your screen like an absolute animal? Screenshot on your PC and upload that. Also, did you use a shoe to take that picture? Jesus fuck.
Bruh have you read the comments on this sub over the last week? You’re living in the real time collapse of the American empire, the first time ever, stock markets will implode any day now, except if they don’t. Either way sell every MAG7 you got, they are DEAD *sent from my iPhone, as I ignore my work on my Microsoft PC, and get an email from my dad’s Gmail to order him something on Amazon, as NVIDIA raises the price of components again. Follow up protest post coming to my Insta in a few mins*
Taxable brokerage... Both 401k (of course) and Roth IRA are strictly ETFs. Felt like I was already getting too long-winded (bad habit of mine), but FWIW? I was late to the game getting my financial head out of my ass. But, once I started hitting maxes on tax-advantaged accounts with pretty boring, bog-standard strategies/splits, I started with a "robo-ETF" taxable account (7-8 years ago). A year after that, opened a separate brokerage specifically geared towards individual stock picks - decided I liked and wanted to get more granular with individual stocks selections. Keep both - the idea having been "if you can't keep up with the robots (in addition to the S&P), you've just got a pricey hobby. Buy a PC trading game." Still add to both - monthly, regular transfers.. not a ton, but over time - they've become real money. By no means easy street money, but money (or rather, assets) I'm now looking at more as a bridge to fund early retirement. As such, I *can* afford to be a bit more aggressive -- take some risks -- but like I said. I'm no day trader and I have no illusions about huge, quick gains. I completely get what you're saying about forward prospects -- but knowing my limits as an investor? I guess I should also mentioned my horizon (\~5 years or so, I think... doing that work now), this is a \~50 yo thinking more "it would be great to retire by 55 or so" more than a 25-30 yo thinking *overly* long.
