Is building a PC the millenial equivalent of modding a car?

You mean assembly, not build.

Spoken like a true poorfag, I have a Mac because it's a good laptop. I don't own an iPhone because I don't give a fuck about smart phones and I have a gayman PC with nvidia goy works

>>57825953
that's "assembly"

before that you had to choose the right parts to meet whatever requirements you had and/or fit into your budget

not like most of us go and buy a complete kit of parts that just needs screwing together

so yeah, the complete process qualifies as building

how are they even comparable? building a PC is something you do to get better hardware for less money, modding a car is something you spend more money on for no reason other than fun.

ricing hardware with LEDs would be comparable to modding a car.

>>57826064
>so yeah, the complete process qualifies as building
True, it's not like a home builder grew the trees that made the wood or processed the copper that went into the piping. Even cars aren't entirely unique parts made by the manufacturers.

Do you really need better hardware though? People throw big money at both PC and car parts. Modifying and then throwing a car on a dyno is literally the equivalent of OCing a PC and stresstesting it for big numbers.

I blame narcissism and the long-term success of advertising, not regarding specific products, but in perpetuating the myth that you are what you buy.

>>57825018
No.

>>57825622
It's common for old, stone or brick, structures to have wiring done that way since it's cost effective and doesn't alter the building. My high school was like that since it was build in the 1800s, for instance.

>>57825761

Lexus has a real problem, I don't know what they're doing. There are good looking cars being made, though, and you'd be just silly to think there weren't hideous cars before.

The thing I hate about being a millennial is that our generation is defined by the people born towards the end of it.

>>57827359

Doesnt matter though, pretty much all modern cars are filled with BLOAT, with some exceptions.

>>57827431
And what do you consider bloat?

"Safety" features mostly. Visibility is also hindered so that also has to be compensated with sensors and cameras. Having to navigate touchscreen menus to do something that could be done with a push of a single button on older cars.

>if you think car enthusiasts are retarded it means you don't have a car
On the contrary, I love cars, but I'm not a wrong generation retard and understand that the "bloat" is solely due to crash safety standards which are important in the goal of not making cars that crush passengers in a crash.

>>57825484
This is a misunderstanding of class

The upper class are those who have been born into established families that have dominated politics/business/academia for generations, usually families with towns/areas named after them.

Wealth can include people who are nouveau riche... Trump for example. His fatehr was rich but the Trumps have never been politically powerful until now lol.

>anything but rich idiot/old fuck bait

>>57825066
Yeah, sure. Both are done by people with no fucking clue what they're doing and are easily swayed by memetic misinformation.

Nobody here can truly say they understand PC building until they've assembled a computer that optimizes for the work being done on it.
Most gaymers fail to do even that.

The point is not crashing in the first place

>Is building a PC the millenial equivalent of modding a car?
Sort of, more like case modding is the hot rodding for millenials who don't want to actually get their hands dirty, change oil or do any of the other manual labour involved in fucking around with cars.

Cars are way more work, mostly more expensive and there are more consequences for getting shit wrong. They're probably more complicated to fuck with too, PCs are down to plug tab A into slot B and turn it on...most of the time.

The point of that pic is not that Macs are used by poor people, but that they are shown off by poor people for being one of their most expensive possessions. There will still be many rich people with Macs, they just aren't showing them off when they also have a nice car, house, etc.

Also there are many expensive computers aside from Macs, so I don't really see why they have such a bad stigma and everyone argues about poorfags/richfags.

>>57827139
My high school was also like that. I never really thought about why, but it was mostly brick.

>>57825953
I wouldn't really get sore over building v.s. assembling. Just semantics, really. When you build a house, you're really just assembling wood and such that you probably just went out and bought. I'm not about to shit on someone who builds houses, though. They still worked hard and I don't care which word they use. English is a living language anyway. It's fine for definitions to change.

>>57836185

Modding cars is more popular now than it's ever been in the history of cars.
