My 13 year-old has developed an interest in gaming PCs and would like to build his own.

Since he's shown little interest in computers in the past, it's been a great opportunity for us to talk about them and for me to show him how they work (having a bunch of old computers is great for that because they're much easier to grasp).

But his disappointed face when looking at the mad price of components these days is making me deeply angry at the AI speculation jerks.
Way to kill the joy, asshats. 😡
