Food for thought: The future of computing is off-site rendering

I dont see demand going down any time soon. While the US might be the largest user, China cant be far behind us. I think its going to be another decade before electric cars really start doing something, or hopefully we will have the hydrogen fuel cell by then. Even then, it all comes down to China and the developing world. When they start investing in new energy tech then that will be the end of oil. 

A decade in terms of a countries source of income is really no time at all. That's why they're dumping while the dumping is good.

It'll be interesting to see what comes of the massive tech city they're building.

Is linus going to cover shadow.tech in his videos so you think? It would make an interesting video if they could run some benchmarks or something

Its certainly better than spending $1000 just for a 1070 at this rate.

I'd still build my own systems.

Personally yes my own opinion I want to be in full control over my system, even if that means the cost is higher for me.

My reasoning behind that is as long as my files & work relies on a machine I can physically work on myself & nobody else unless you are a burglar can touch it is safer & allows for a more custom experience.

When the PC is acting up haunted,

who ya gonna call?
"Monotone voice" : A local computer store.
