I fucking wish I could buy a running used car for $1600.

Bloody hell how bad is the US used car market. Here you can get a running car for very very cheap if you know what you're looking for. I've seen people get functional cars that still have an MOT (Thing that certifies your car is road worthy) for £100 ($140)

Obama did Cash for Clunkers which means all the old cheap junkers got compacted a decade ago.

We had something kind of like that for diesel cars called the scrapped scheme. Its the reason Jeremy Clarkson was able to get a Volvo for £1 in a Top Gear Challange.

People really find anything to blame on Obama. The pandemic and reduction of car sales in 2020-2021 is why prices are currently up. Cash for clunkers did have an effect on used car prices a few years after it rolled out but we're talking around a decade ago.

Same. None of the 40 series tbh. Nvidia is like Apple now in my opinion. I‘ll only buy if my stuff breaks down. And not the newest stuff either.

And if either or both think they will make sure their stuff breaks on purpose after some time? Will leave them behind completely. In their segments they seem to have too much influence/power and abuse it to nobody’s surprise I guess.

I‘m also over all the AAA games that are just trying to rip the players off nowadays. Indy games really have become so much better and more interesting (and won’t hopefully need a 40s for a long time lol ).

Rant over. Sorry.

No, Nvidia isn't like Apple. Nvidia genuinely sells better stuff, Apple sells pretty stuff to people who don't know, or don't care.

Apple sells both pretty and very high quality stuff though lol. The real people who “don’t know” are people who still think about Apple like they’re living in 2010
