DSP hates the "caveman" PC gamer look. His words. I think that he will end up getting the a new couch or a lounge chair. If the streaming capabilities of the consoles were good enough he would use only that.
From what I remember he said that if he upgraded to W10 he'd have to take multiple days off just to "learn how to use it" and he can't afford to do that.
What an unusual thing for an "old school" lan-running PC gamer to say.
"He used to be one of them" apparently. But we know that whenever Phil has to recollect some backstory, he's talking out of his arse and always makes contradictory statements that disprove the legitimacy of his claims time and time again.
This dude hasn't left a 40 mile radius (besides the marriage scam) since he moved to WA. The last thing he needs is a laptop. A desktop, even a cheap prebuilt (if such a thing exists right now) is ideal for a shut-in like Dave.
Yep, and he likely would have built his own PC for cheaper so we wouldn't be laughing at him for buying a $600 entry level laptop in the middle of a chip shortage.
That's the "Thin" version of that model too which is meant to be extra-portable for $200 or so more.
Apparently not only did he not keep up with modern computers/terminology, he also forgot everything he used to know about computers and building them. Its not like basics are essentially just upgraded, more powerful versions of what he would have been using back in the day. No, the technology behind computers is completely different now than it was 15 years ago and none of the knowledge from when he was supposedly doing this would have carried over.
He can push his weight up and down on the floor 25 times in 30 seconds, but his arms almost snap in half picking up his laptop.
His problem isn't the paltry sales tax, it's the federal income tax due to no substantial deductions.
But he does have deductions, his bankruptcy paperwork had 50% of his income as expenses.
That sales tax eats up a lot of his income because he wastes it all the time.
I'm going to assume you're joking. He has very little deductions. The percentage the room is compared to the condo, percentage of electric use, and unneeded biz internet. That's it. He isn't buying games (he's getting refunds after he fails at them), consoles, or laptops so they can't be deducted.
He doesn't buy anything for the business to worry about sales tax. His life is not a business deduction.
