Families with small children are expected to have a similar situation, some electronic devices will never turn on again, or simply unplug the power (to prevent the child from turning the switch on and off).
My desktop was unplugged for almost two years. Until yesterday, I had a whim and opened it to take a look.
The computer was installed by myself 6 years ago (early 2017). ZOTAC 1060 6G graphics card, MSI B150 motherboard, boxed Intel i5, Kingston solid state. Saving money is secondary, and the process of saving computers by hand is quite interesting.
Thanks to SSDs, the boot process is very smooth. Everything is normal. Open the computer version of WeChat, and you will be greeted by a chat conversation from 2 years ago. There are also videos of children looking cute as children when they are young. It was as if the sealed time had been opened.
Run a Lu master, the performance of the graphics card can actually exceed 82% of users. It's not hard to see, although the 4060 is already on the market. But the update of computing power is wave-by-wave. People on the front lines of the trend, while bright, are not the majority. There is a "replacement cycle" in electronic products.
The accessories were bought in a certain east, and it is convenient to see the price at that time. AOC monitor, 800 pieces, the big screen is really cooler than the notebook! Kingston's 240G solid state cost 669 yuan, and now a similar new product costs less than 150 yuan. Since domestic storage particles broke through the bottleneck, the cost performance of SSDs has become extremely high.
The saying "a crab is not as good as a crab" is very marketable. This is not the preserve of some so-called insightful bigwigs – people have complained about it for thousands of years. But what are the facts? Human civilization is still progressing. Interesting things are constantly evolving, new breakthroughs are springing up. An SSD may seem small, but how many lines of code can be stored!
We should be happy to see any "progress". These will benefit ordinary people like us.
Finally, let's talk about one reason to save a desktop. There is also live streaming software on the desktop - I was thinking that only a few years after the rise of the live broadcast industry, I could play my favorite games and broadcast live at the same time. Kill two birds with one stone.
Looking back, many of the head anchors who are now in the day may just be passers-by with no sense of existence in 2017. However, I stopped broadcasting a few times - at that time, I was as busy as a dog, and I quickly lost interest in all the games.
Therefore, no matter what you do, timing is important, action is important, persistence, luck, and talent are also important.
Press the shutdown button to unplug the power supply. Step up your game! Struggle~
