    I’d cancel my internet, and never buy another computer before paying these absurd costs.

    no thanks… nothing on the internet is really worth those upfront costs anymore. companies have made the internet mostly trash, and they have also inflated the costs of the hardware required to unfathomable prices.

    I have checked out and won’t return until they either fix shit, or be charged for all their crimes.

      Just buy used lol. A 5 year old system can do anything a new one can if you’re willing to take a small hit on performance.

      I get the feeling, I don’t see many upgrades in the near future for me.

      But I also know that we’ve had it good for a long time. Go check out a PC catalog from the 80s to 90s and remember that those prices would be much higher with inflation.
