They are, for what I saw. I wanted to change a couple key components on my PC to keep it powerful, it's not worth it. I'd end up paying the same amount I paid to build it from scratch and the benchmark performances wouldn't increase by much.

To get to some nitty details to see if what comparing from 5 years ago (2016) to today, Ill try to quickly mention some specs.
Storage, iv a feeling SSD ratinied pricing. so unlike HDD over 5 years. would be 1TB to 4TB. but SSD maybe 1TB to 2TB.
RAM - which did you get in 2016 - DDR3 was common, and DDR4 was new.
So if comparing with 2021 prices, is that DDR3 (2016) to DDR4 (2021) prices or if comparing to the currently new DDR5.
i5 - Intel is on the 11th generation of i5 cores. So can be an easily hidden and overlooked comparison. If the 2016 was a year old of purchase, might have been a bargain and generation they phasing out, versus now (yes with stock shortages) with an equally one year old 10th generation, or if comparing to a newer 11th generation.
likly comparing with the comparable intel chip might be tricky to match price as the numbers and when they released versus purchased requires a bit of digging through.
stable component comparison to look at:
2016 - ddr3, 1TB ssd, 6th gen intel i5 (6400 / 6500)
2021 - ddr4, 2tb ssd, 10th gen intel i5 (10400 / 10500)

You are right, one should not compare bananas with apples.
DDR4 in my case, i5 of 6th generation, and 2T HDD.
Still, I do not think that a similar spec with an 11th generation i5 and 512Gb SDD (this is what I looked up) should cost double than what I wrote above.

Just reminded myself of m2 ssd. but quick search the prices aren't that much different. I think the chips themselves are the same and just connector/housing is the big difference.
Apart from supply shortages, I do not know enough if the difference of motherboard with m2 slot could shift another 20$ on tag, but yeah not x2 price for similar aged kit.
Also if the i5 looking at has on board graphics,. i think they have had for some time, just another food for thought.

His response?
“Sir - That’s not the way field sobriety tests work.”

So we had our Pfizer booster shots today. What amazed me is that there were a number of younger folks in the pharmacy that were there for their very first Covid shots! Seems some folks are now getting nervous as the reports of Covid deaths just keep coming.

As of Aug 7, according to WebMD, the predicated overall recover rate is 97-99.75%.

The people who are mostly dying are the elderly and people with pre-existing underlying medical conditions.

It's the (young) unvaccinated people who get sick and then infect the old and vulnerable. Not getting vaccinated is an extremely selfish attitude to have. You can indirectly cause the death of a vulnerable person!

You live your life in fear, and you want the world to be afraid just like you.
People like you are part of the problem with people not wanting to get vaccinated. Your constant, unrelenting soapbox preaching, its too much, and people just tune you out now.
Disagree with me all you want, I know I am correct.

You'd better keep away anyway, because being vaccinated neither prevents you from getting it nor spreading it. Unlike vaccines for various diseases typically caught in childhood, these are of poor efficacy. With all the variants cropping up--soon we'll be out of Greek letters--it'll be like flu vaccines, which must be taken annually. In fact, biannually is often touted. Eventually you'll have to be injected in the butt, because your arm is going to look like a junkie's.

Based on the commment, one would think that programmers would be more "logical" ... apparently not; just more venom.

Soliders wearing keblar do die too.
Vaccines only reduce spreading and severity. They don't make you 100% inmune. And some preparates are some less effective than others

I don't think there is 100% security in anything except that we will all die sooner or later.
Those vaccines are like 98% or 99% but not 100%, that's why when the huge amount of people unvaccinated came in 2015, there were again some increase on measles in Germany.

How dare you drive your car everyday. You might kill someone! So selfish.
Hopefully that hyperbole will resonate.

The important bit is that driving a car it is assumed that you will act in a manner to not cause harm to others - that's why you have to have a valid licence, why the "rules of the road" exist. If you act in a manner that is likely to cause harm to others - driving drunk, running red lights, speeding past a school bus, having completely bald tyres or shot brakes, ... - then legal sanctions exist to punish you for your lack of consideration.
You are ignoring that implicit requirement as far as Covid is concerned.
