GPUs and prices

So when will the prices go down to normal again and when will more be in stock/

Two weeks imo

in all seriousnessā€¦buckle up. Itā€™s been a long ride and will continue to be so for a while as long as Crypocurrency is profitable still.

once the Chinese new year is over production begins again in March, add in four weeks for transportation from China to the US warehouse (hopefully no inspections, port or rail delays). Early May at best, June into July at worst. Small releases like the RTX 3060 and RX 6700 donā€™t help. Nvidia & AMD need to flood each market with ten of thousands of each specific GPU not just a few thousand.

I find myself a bit jealous that theyā€™re able to celebrate CNY over there while here we had to pretty much cancel all of that.

Not that I really participate too much in it anyway, but usually itā€™s a big event at my momā€™s house where I cook a bunch of stuff and eat myself into a coma.

This year was a drive-by red envelope-ing and me cooking a bunch of food at home that my wife and kids didnā€™t overly indulge in.

I guess I still got the food coma though, since it was all me.

I did however use the pandemic as an excuse to skip out on giving envelopes to my less close relatives. So I saved a few bucks there, I suppose.

One of my co-workers is a Chinese national (has a work visa here) and he hasnā€™t been home in almost two years. Nice kid, I feel bad for him but his girlfriend is here so heā€™s not 100% alone.

Weā€™re pretty much just role playing at this point. Family has been here since the 1920s. I canā€™t speak Cantonese worth a damn (Mike Myers does a better job probably) and I only know some Mandarin because of Netflix.

Read the news and you will believe anything. People celebrated IN New York, IN TIME square for new yearsā€¦ where were you?

Afraid of your own shadow thatā€™s whereā€¦ they made you BELIEVE New Years was cancelled but it was a LIE.

This applies to CNY as wellā€¦ Doesnā€™t matter if you are a Chinese citizen or nationalistā€¦

First of all you do know China is a communist country right? They donā€™t listen to any western culture or country . China does what China government wantsā€¦ thatā€™s it.

If you started a pandemic and you didnā€™t want the world to believe itā€™s true wouldnā€™t YOU go on as if nothing had happened?

Ah there you goā€¦ They need the world to see them as ā€˜neutralā€™ not communist otherwise they wouldnā€™t be able to take over the worldā€¦

China didnā€™t stop because they ignored the measuresā€¦ they didnā€™t stop because they MAKE the rulesā€¦

Pretty sure he was referring to his own yearly celebration.

For little saigon area, it was neutered compared to what the norm is.

Wow no I stayed home so I wouldnā€™t contribute to the pandemic.

But that was my personal choice and I regret nothing.

Againā€¦ I understood what he meant the NEWS made it seem like life was on hold but it was NOT true. Things were not cancelled or even less importantā€¦ the MEDIA wants you to believe government is in control.

There were celebrations, travel, nothing was changed in realityā€¦ in keeping with perception they made it SEEM like big holidays and celebrations were cancelled and maybe some people ASSUMED they would be, thatā€™s what they want you to thinkā€¦

But people just didnā€™t ANNOUNCE Super bowl party, Thanksgiving get togethers, and Christmas with familyā€¦ but ALL of those things went on without cancellationā€¦

Maybe less so, but of the people MEDIA interviewed of COURSE people would say ā€˜yes we are following the rulesā€™ if askedā€¦ who would blatantly say ā€˜hell no I donā€™t wear a mask and I went home for the holidaysā€™ā€¦ The reality was much different.

Itā€™s like asking teenagers if they smokeā€¦ they ALL lie. Smoking has NOT been reduced in US itā€™s just agreed to NOT admit to using itā€¦ you get less problems that way. Cigarette manufactures are STILL making billions across dozens of companies so SOMEONE is smokingā€¦ and they focus on 18-25 demographicā€¦

You seem really upset in pretty much every post you make. Itā€™s a bit strange and I hope you have a good day, but I wonā€™t be engaging with you further.

You are making an ASSUMPTION, and you know what they say about assumptionā€¦ you really should LEARN the truth instead of just PERCEIVING the way you want.

I think itā€™s more you have an opinion and you donā€™t want to change itā€¦ so I represent what you DONā€™T want to believe, thatā€™s fine.

Itā€™s like leaving Wow and pretending to quitā€¦ I really donā€™t care ALL the reasons WHY you quit it doesnā€™t matter to me.

I really donā€™t care WHY you wish to ā€˜ā€¦engage with me furtherā€¦ā€™ like that is going to make me begā€¦ oh please donā€™t leaveā€¦ LOL

I really could care less. You donā€™t want to chat donā€™t makes no difference to me only proves that YOU are a sheep.

45 minutes away with my wife and children and having been to a few Times Square new yearā€™s celebrations I can say the 2021 version was hardly a ā€œcelebrationā€.

for someone who doesnā€™t ā€œcareā€ you seem to be intent on tossing a hissy fit because Sal is ignoring youā€¦also the cap locks key on your keyboard may be broken. You seem to be capitalize words for no real grammatical purpose. Is it because you donā€™t know the definition of the word?

via the former two time impeached president trump

ā€œWe have it totally under control. Itā€™s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. Itā€™s going to be just fine.ā€

ā€œChina has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!ā€

ā€œWe are coordinating with the Chinese government and working closely together on the coronavirus outbreak in China. My administration will take all necessary steps to safeguard our citizens from this threat.ā€

ā€œLooks like by April, you know, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away. I hope thatā€™s true. But weā€™re doing great in our country. China, I spoke with President Xi, and theyā€™re working very, very hard. And I think itā€™s going to all work out fine.ā€

and via Bob Woodward tape that trump confirmed

ā€œAnd so thatā€™s a very tricky one. Thatā€™s a very delicate one. Itā€™s also more deadly than even your strenuous flues.ā€

So I would say we in the USA know what itā€™s like to pretend a virus doesnā€™t exist and to go on as nothing is happening (beside those 500k & counting dead people)

Got scalpers already selling Gainward RTX 3060 12GB Ghost at $725 . I wish someone send assassins to kill these pricks.

I donā€™t know about assassins and I donā€™t wish harm to anyone

But I do sincerely hope that they somehow donā€™t profit.
