It's forever 2020, yous guys.
Have a Lenovo that fried its RTX 3060 card. BOOM instant BOOM dead short.
Lenovo makes everything proprietary so you can't just replace the GPU because it's SPECIAL SMALL GPU that ONLY FITS IN SMALL CASE.
No parts available.
No parts can be ordered.
Nobody sells these GPUs they only sell the bigger version that no fit in case.
So hard to figure out how to move motherboard to new case. All proprietary shit. Weird connectors, weird spacing for screws, weird power supply.
> Local shop has done this motherboard swap.
> Can order me a different case.
> Buy a good used GPU from them, order case.
> Profit!
> Wrong.
> Shipping delays, strikes, more delays.
> IT FINALLY IS HERE.
> The guy disappears. Does not answer his phone.
> Finally I drive down to the shop.
> UNEXPECTEDLY OUT SICK TWO DAYS TRY TO BE BACK MONDAY.
Me, pressing my face against the shop glass, looking at the damn case sitting right there inside.

THE WORLD SUCKS, man.
Living in this world now is like being stuck in a very slow moving mudslide.

HOW'S THE KIDS? OH, THEY'RE MUDDY? YEAH I FIGURED.
