  • I’m not sure this makes any sense. Drop is a company that doesn’t even “make” anything. Maybe their logistics department is impressive but the entire purpose of them is (or was maybe I’m out of the loop) - to bring flash/surge discounts to purchasing offers (it’s basically group-buy concept commercialized) and yes they are popular in many niche markets for bringing custom options to market- but they did this by having the original manufacturers make it for them.

    So what’s the point. You’re already Corsair, you have a stronger market presence in the keyboard space? Is this going to cost all of us because they will no longer focus on other communities like headphones?

    I guess I’ve answered my question, mergers always cost the consumers.

    I don’t usually discuss business on something like Reddit but since Lemmy feels more natural, I’m willing to say that I have a tech consulting business (Not in Alabama) but we work with clients all over. You could have a consulting session with me if that was helpful, we could discuss the state of Building PCs, current social media trends and hosts to become familiar with, and a general approach to teaching kids these skills (which I have done many times over the years). DM me if you are interested.

    But for some free guidance, YouTube will be a wealth of knowledge. There are many great hosts and channels that you can learn a lot from.

    • Linus Tech Tips is excellent, but the content you’ll be looking for will be from a few years ago

    • Gamers Nexus is super informative but will have a learning curve to understanding all the points he is making

    • jay’s two cents used to be a wonderful channel but I haven’t seen much from him recently.







  • I’ve run my own business in the US for 16 years. Until recently I pay about $2000/mo for a family of 4. (Wife and I are in our early 40’s, kids are under 10). Recently my wife got new employment and it means we can insure the family with similar (slightly better coverage, (great coverage)) for less than half this amount.
