PC demand had always been a mystery to me. Ok, fine, I have to compile a lot of code and sometimes run k8 on my 4-year-old Linux laptop, but who else needs a powerful PC besides gamers(who mainly use consoles anyway) and graphics designers?

It is not just about teams and people. It is political - cities are struggling when people do not come to work, and it is financial - many companies have taken loans putting the real estate they own as collateral; if commercial real estate

I just opened vice news from a North American location and went through the headlines. The politicization is through the roof, and the headlines do not match the context. I am sure there is a market for this type of journalism, but it is mu
