This isn't really something that is related to what we are doing in class but I feel like it is relevant enough to this class in particular that I can do a personal blog post on it. I don't think that I've actually ever really touched on it in a blog post but I have always had a knack for computer hardware and building computers. I built my first pc for my 14th birthday and I have just been upgrading it ever since. I have had my current parts for a couple of years now and they are starting to show their age especially while I am playing games, so I want to upgrade my part to better, newer parts that's the bright side of building a PC is that you can upgrade when you need or even just want to. There is just one MASSIVE problem in the PC marketplace right now, and that is there is no parts available anywhere. This all stems back to the beginning of COVID, where manufacturers of parts had to be shut down because of quarantine's around the globe. Even with manufacturers coming back to work there still isn't enough for the high demand in the market right now. Since the world has been shut down huge brands such as NVIDIA and AMD have come out with newer and better hardware but there have been lots of issues surrounding the release of those as well. On launch sites, people would pay for bots to buy as many of the new parts as possible so that they can sell them third hand for a super inflated price (I hate scalpers more than anything). This has become a big issue for people like myself who are looking to buy parts for their computer but can't get a hold of any at the original price and cannot afford to pay way over what the part is worth. The only real way to work around this is to wait it out until these parts become more available so that's just what I'm going to have to do.
