There's nothing raving about it. I was trying to communicate that I've got all the hardware I want. I'm still pissed these companies are ripping people off.

It was supposed to be over by now and then they said 2027, then it's 2028, and now I hear "oh it's going to continue to rise the rest of the decade".

I'm likely going to be flying into Shenzhen to put my next computer together. The one I put together in 2025 would have cost me about $25,000 right now. I paid under $5,000.

I can round trip to China for $750. So once they ramp up production that's the strategy.

Other countries already do this. Apple and Google aren't in every country and those people buy new electronics when they travel.

The USA is soon to be on that list

You aren't engaging in good faith and there's no reason to continue with you.
