gamers nexus just dropped a 3 hour video where they talk to various companies involved in the consumer PC space, some of whom really open up about their costs and economics and how operating in america just isnt feasible under the current tariffs

I just shelled out to upgrade my 9 year old PC. Upgraded from an rtx 1060 to 4060. My current i5 is like 9400F and now I am upgrading to a 13400f. I've been wanting to and holding off for a while, but if things are going to get more scarce and more expensive, might as well do it now while I have money to spend.
