I have just ordered components for a whole new rig few days ago, but I hope it doesn't qualify as panic buying. The thing is, I have purchased 1440p 144hz monitor couple months back without thinking it through very well (in my naive mind, I thought I would simply dial down resolution back to 1080p in case of performance issues - which was obviously dumb) and my still ok mid range rig from 2 and a half years ago suddenly felt very lacking, but I was reading new gen CPUs are coming out soon, also new RTX and big navi and I wanted to wait before upgrading. But then lock down started last week and I read about product delays and went on to build the rig now, even regretting I haven't done it few weeks earlier, cause I still have to wait about a week to have all the components delivered.

A week of social distancing planned by trump is actually costing amarica 10s of millions of dollars. that is comfortably over 1. 5 million(super optimistic estimate anyhow) after the beginning of the month could simply push the avarage over 5 million a day just from all the businesses effectively shut down. never mind the fact way more businesses than you think will not be able to pay rent and go out of business if they dont own the store and property they use like Walmart witch could add up to billions in total loss over say a reasonable 5 year scope that yes continues to cause major losses long after Corona issue is over. Just think restaurants alone end up bringing the irs in taxes over a billion dollars a years.

I really want a new pc, LOLZ! Please can you do a video on the best PC setup for REVIT and AUTOCAD. (not rendering, just want to be able to open a 100 mb drawing without waiting 10 minutes to load) I have a SSD for my Machine, M. 2 is not possible as I need an upgrade. Also have a old graphics card. GTX770 Gigabyte i7 870 Asus GENE III 16 GB RAM DDR3 (any overclocking including XMT unstable) also play games on the machine, favourite atm is Cities skyline. and when that is open my pc takes a big nock. (use to work way better when the ram would overclock) Enjoy

Headline= Coronavirus Hits. , content also contains terms like pandemic and a comment section full of terms relating to the human Malware, AND the video is still monetised! [as of writing this 2020. 03. 22 13: 30 UTC! ] Either someone is sleeping at the wheel or we are actually seeing progress regarding the problem with clueless demonetisation? Or alternatively it's just a fluke. The optimist in me wants to believe in progress but the realist tells me to just let the future records show which is correct.

Man, I had a hard time extracting useful info from this video. Practically the whole video talked about only vaporware, products which hadn't yet launched. OK, so launch dates of new products might be delayed, perhaps indefinitely. But, is that really representative of hardware manufacturing as a whole, and what might be happening? I heard nothing at all. OK, this was an opportunity to talk about your personal observations about news about new hardware, but there's nothing else here.

your point of not buying pc hardware was correct, people laid off and high unemployment. it be much better to stock up on food than worry about consumer items. no one will be interested in pc hardware anyways when you cant feed your family or are going to be thrown out of your home because you cant make mortgage payments you were absolutely right and still are, though people should prepare for it to get much worse and not better. stay safe everyone.

So Intel worked with the Vault-tec scientists at Nvidia to mess things up enough to put AMD out of business? Does corona spread 5G? (a rival theory. I believe neither btw. Zombies are close people. One more mutation and we will be fragging them en masse just to survive. Y'all better have spare batteries for your devices, lots of filters for your masks and as many stimpaks as you can find. This is going to be so bad that it makes Fallout 76 look good: P

We deliver all the WS from the office (VFX, vr, at)to the house of our workers, expanded the office VPN capability to access to the internal server and the internal render farm. Everybody working at 100%. The problem will be if we have any physical failure the delay to get any repair part/service. We plan to change the setup of any WS to less aggressive hoping to lowering the failure risk for the next few months.

I was planning to put together a storage/Plex server this summer and pushed it up because I was worried that parts would be unavailable or excessively expensive due to human malware and I am SO GLAD that I did. Not only do I have the computer finished now but it has been insanely useful to my and many of my friends while we're all stuck in our houses. Panic buying was absolutely the right call for me.

I was impressed how you tried to cover both sides of the story both from a manufacturing side and a personal side. History has shown that influenza out brakes seem to run in an 18 month cycle unless a Magic bullet is found. It is my belief that it will be the consumer driven by a lack of funds that will be the primary cause of a retraction in the computer industry at least in the shorter term.
