2JZE46 Meh. I think the fact that he tried to buy it for that outlandish price is the problem to begin with lol. Reply

Even streaming is getting expensive by the month. Word on the street is that Ring (doorbell) and FLOCK (street license plate readers) will be offering the only affordable streaming services…. any day now….😊😂 Reply

You can still buy capable used computers for under $200 and run the OS of your choice on them. https://www.ebay.com/itm/398228778992 I brought up this one after about 10 minutes of searching, because it has about the minimum specs I would aim for in a PC (personnel computer). Quad-core, 7th gen Intel for HD 630 graphics (better codec support than HD 530), 16 GB RAM, SSD included (not an HDD), power adapter provided with Wi-Fi card installed (this one could be missing the antenna). It has HDMI and DisplayPort (many MFF systems only have DisplayPort). Different vendor, a bit less money, older USB ports, no power adapter seen: https://www.ebay.com/itm/227425803201 That is the baseline you want for "personal computing". It's not a gaming PC, but the iGPU can play Skyrim and GTA V at 720p 30+ FPS. It's not a workstation or local AI powerhouse, but it lets you do "personal computing" for relatively little money. It's substantially faster than a Raspberry Pi 5, which might have been an OK option before its massive price hikes. In short, "personal computing" isn't dead until you can't get your hands on stuff like this anymore. That listing is $129 in 2026 dollars, take a look at what "personal computing" looked like and cost in the 1980s. Oh, and some people are put off by used stuff, but the chances of that thing lasting another 10+ years are pretty good. Reply
