I think higher prices are only applauded when they also raise the profit margins. If someone figures out how to circumvent the tarriffs while staying competitive, everyone else is screwed.
I do agree that some of the complaints were rather overdone, such as his headset. But the giant gaming candle with its own assistant warrants the general disgust.
I never understood what was so terrible about the digital watches. I understand that today's smart watches are an absolute detriment to any semblance of privacy that you might have had before in this brave new world, but why would one hate something like a Casio?
Microsoft bundles all of their software in a way that makes it much more expensive to pick and choose which software you want from Microsoft and which one you would want from someone else. It's a very similar strategy to that of Adobe.
Many Lemmings here are talking about how you can save money by buying the parts individually. That's definitely correct, but I also want to mention that the specs that you chose are nearly the latest and greatest that you can get today. Depending on the games that your son plays/wishes to play, this might be an overkill build. Will you also be getting a high refresh rate and/or 4K monitor to even be able to use that RX 7900XTX at its full potential? Most PC gamers don't have anywhere near the power of this build, and can still enjoy playing games on it just as much. If, however, you just want the best thing that money can buy AND something with potential for an upgrade in the future, I don't have anything to say against this build.
P.S. If you bought the parts separately, your son can assemble them himself. I know from personal experience that it's very fun to see your work come to life.
Welcome to the lovely world of the Fediverse! Mastodon and Lemmy, among many other kinds of software, both run on ActivityPub. This means that even if the servers aren't both running Lemmy or Mastodon, they still speak the same language and can therefore understand the content of each other's posts (think of it as email, gmail.com can still send and receive mail to outlook.com). Other examples of AcitvityPub software are Misskey, Mbin, Friendica, Pixelfed, Loops, Piefed, PeerTube and many others that I haven't learned about yet. While they theoretically can all fetch and present posts from each other, due to the choices that each developer makes while designing their software, it might not be very possible to get every post from every software. For example, Mastodon is all about following people, and Lemmy about following communities. Even though Mastodon is able to follow Lemmy communities, Lemmy has (as of writing) no function to follow people (yet).
