>maybe you'll be smart enough to build a computer one day too?
You're just a shill, plain and simple, because there is battlestation general.

I have already built one rebuilt it twice changed it's designation from TARDISt40 up to TARDISt70 and figured out how to hackintosh it what else is there to even do?

i've never bought a prebuilt desktop

>building a computer is the new HAM radio.
Assuming you build it from scratch. If you just assemble a bunch of pre-made modules you are the modern equivalent of the detested kit-set builder in the ham radio days.
Those things always had vague intermittent bugs. Usually the fault of the assembler, but poor design and cheap parts didn't help.

there isn't really anything you can do if you want a modern computer but to piece together premade parts

if you want to make a >30 year old tier 8bit machine out of hand-soldered TTL logic chips, you can still do so, but that's a whole other category of computers at this point

Quite so. Now let's acknowledge that by calling the process "assembling" rather than "building".
There's more than enough ambiguity in the world at the moment without idiots trying to big-up their self-image by claiming skills they don't possess.

how do you get any kind of satisfaction like that from something so simple that most parts are marketed like they're for 16 year olds?

i got that feeling when i first started on a home server. not when i followed directions in a MB manual to install ram.

This guy is humble about the whole thing, and admits it is basically an advanced lego set. I don't know, just seems like a father connecting with his son.

Even if the computer they built is retarded

>>60634959
"build" is a very general word, and i'm not convinced it's the wrong to use it in this case

and really, making a computer with TTL logic chips and various passive components is still assembly, the chips and passives were themselves not made by you either

i think the key difference is /design/. one can fairly easily design themselves a unique 8bit computer, but assembling a modern computer doesn't involve design, the way it ends up working is pre-determined, and doesn't require any knowledge about how any of it works
