Youre not wrong.

I have a pc with 24GB 3090 card capable of running LLMs locally, but our electricity costs make API calls much more reasonable.

Even gaming -- streaming geforce now is cheaper than ammortizing cost of power + hardware over time




For my personal use, I'll take the hit in cost for the additional control that owning the hardware gives me. Even less restrictive things like blocking sideloading are unacceptable to me.


Cost break down please
