Yes, this line made me angry. Privileged people from first world countries like these will increase their products prices for growth & more profit saying it's very cheap anyways.
Meanwhile common people in other countries can't even think about buying a proper gaming PC now. I bought a pre owned gpu, it stopped working after 5 months and I lost my savings.

Be angry instead at companies who won't even comply with the most ridiculously basic laws. They are the ones causing all those problems. https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/climate-energy/naacp-sues-musks-xai-alleging-illegal-operation-gas-turbines-2026-04-14/ https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/climate-energy/naacp-...
- mkirsten 2mo agoI see and also had some immediate reaction when somebody mentions a $75k figure and says “cheap”. But I think the point really here is that computers are cheap in relation to other items you can buy. Not cheap as in “small part of my wealth”, but as in “about equally much money as something that is not as impressive (as a computer)”. And I really agree. I think it’s amazing that I can get eg a computer I find fast for the price of a kind of bad sofa. 2nd hand MacBook M1 vs dinner for 4 at a nice restaurant. Computers are cheap!
