Inflation of food prices is very noticeable. Still manageable, though.

Taxes are getting higher.

Lots of services can’t be paid for due to sanctions. Some payments are possible, but for a premium.

Roscomnadzor still pisses everybody off. They’re slowing down YouTube to an unusable rate. They claim it’s Google’s hardware degrading (It’s not). Then there’s Discord being blocked, and now they seemingly want to target Steam for some unknown reason (the reason is VKontacte needs more money).

More insane legislature is being talked about.

The lingering threat of being drafted or randomly killed by a drone isn’t gone, which is emotionally draining.

People want peace. Yet, put responsibility on incumbent. (Think: “We had no say in it, they started it, they’ll finish it”)

Opposition? What opposition? Everybody’s either jailed or were forced to leave the country. They’ll literally lock up a single father up if he dares to show disagreement with their “special military operation.” And the kid? Who cares? They don’t matter to our very just and absolutely not corrupt courts. (Sry, still fuming about that story. Hope the judge and the principal will rot in hell)

That’s about it. Source: me, also russian news media and official legislature sources

It’s more convenient than dragging a cursor across the screen. Works especially great with a 360° hinge.

Yes, ECC memory. If used, then CPU also needs to be able to support it. Then there’s number of cores, unless you specifically need high single-core performance. Efficient and reliable PSU, low power-consumption, lots of memory, redundancy for storage. Stuff like that.

None of which are essential, BTW. Any working PC can be made into a server regardless of its hardware.

All server really is is just another PC that’s been built with a different purpose in mind. The rest is software configuration. They need to be reliable, scalable, and cost you as little as possible to upkeep.

Even your router is the same. It’s all computers.

Have you ever built PCs? Macs are significantly more expensive for the same spec

The rest I agree with, it doesn’t help that Windows has been steadily going downhill with each new version…
