Got the parts to fix my air conditioner in my car, and a used phone, and a retro handheld I had been putting off.
All used, of course. I’m not contributing back to this corrupt hell government.

I have a 3080 and usually play on a patient gamer schedule so I don’t really need to update yet, but I sort of wish I had now. I feel like my current build is going to have to last me for a lot longer than anticipated. But that’s ok, it’s probably better for my bank account to hoard the money I have anyway.
I built at a good time, micro center had the 9800x3d in stock at MSRP 😁 i should be good for 5+ years from now
Also i was upgrading from a ryzen 7 3800X (predating the x3d line) and to 100% NVME storage (4tb gaming drive and a 1tb boot drive)
Just having it in stock seems like a miracle from everything I’ve seen for a while. I may be moving to Europe late this year or next year and my income will be dropping to about half (with a generally much lower COL, but PC parts look to be about comparable to the US at the moment) so I’m guessing I may be able to find the parts but affording them will be a different matter.
your industry in tech? it seems only tech and phd level scientist are able to move there as a viable alternative.
No, I’d be going on a non-lucrative visa. Not off my own earnings because I’m a millennial who was idealistic enough to go into public service, but my mom has enough retirement and assets to swing the fairly modest income requirements for us both and she wants me to come. She’s worried I’m going to end up dead in El Salvador, being a member of several targeted groups by this administration.
