Dude, same (well - I only had one, but yeah).

I held off for as long as I could, but eventually went from a 15in Sony Trinitron monitor to a Dell W2405 - which at the time was actually not a bad decision, but I do wish I kept that CRT.

Maybe in the early-to-mid 2000s; people couldn’t GIVE them away!

Nowadays, not even the most bougie neighbourhoods could afford to…

100% this, leave the first generation to the professionals (eg. reviewers) to find all the obvious flaws - then pick up the 2nd or 3rd iteration once they get most of the kinks ironed out.

Give it a couple of months and they’ll figure out a way to solder the GPU chipset and VRAM onto a donor board with a modified BIOS.

With any luck, the market will be flooded with these hybrid graphics cards and absolutely crater Nvidia’s revenue & valuation (triggering a similar crash in the US and elsewhere).

I’m in a similar situation. My workplace has been heavily pushing implanting AI tools into our daily workload, but I’ve struggled to find a more meaningful use beyond a technical search engine: eg. How can I calculate x in the most resource efficient way?
