And how many compare with gaming performance at that price point point?

I don’t know of a single one that can match it.

Also I’d say that’s moving the goalposts from building a cheaper one, to buying a shittier one

I couldn’t put a finger on it for the longest time, thank you for verbalizing it. It really does read like “me” and there’s all there is. A universe of one

I don’t think you can if you take into account the form factor, noise and thermals.

I built my mini itx before this silliness and it was a good 20% more expensive on account of no space and specific components

I, myself am prepared to do it in winter in an apartment.

My discussion is not on the how, but on how you fail to perceive that not everyone is yourself. Some people are more able, others less, some have a studio apartment, others a farm. Some live paycheck to paycheck others don’t. Some have 6 people in their household others do not :)

One size does not fit all. What is easy for you, might not be for others and vice-versa.

My roof? It’s hard to burn wood when you don’t have a fireplace. In summer of course we do it outside. But with the density of a city center that means that it’s hard to store enough wood/coal to make meaningful impact on the amount of water you need to boil to cook.

In winter it would be simply counter productive to go outside and be cold to boil rice.

It’s simply easier - and safer - to have water for drinking and food for eating.

Population centers have different needs.

Well, not everyone can burn wood, or has a storage place capable of having the 2L of water per person, different people live in different places.

The 3 days is so the state can come in and help, if you live in a big city center, the requirements are not the same as if you live in a farm.

That’s good, then can you read your original comment and see that other people are in other places with other situations? 😌

I have tablets for purifying and rainwater, but that needs rain, and in winter it means fuel.

Food for these days should not be dependent on water.

If your food needs water to be eaten then you need to store that extra water, which is by far the largest part you need to keep.
