RAM was damage how will she afford second one. She should use her body to shield RAM.
But how do Americans live with cardboard walls.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.

"The only thing that can stop a bad dog with a gun is a good dog with a gun."
"Or a gaming pc, apparently."
Lol. This loser graduated from "the dog ate my homework" to "the dog shot my gun and almost murdered my neighbor".
Angelbabyzz now has the much more pleasant problem of shopping for a replacement PC with a $3,500 budget
So she'll be able to get some low budget 16GB machine, probably without a video card because 3500 dollars will only get you so far these days
Tell me you're american without telling me you're american.
Saved the owner's life, but at what cost??
RAM, especially... Very high for sure
Am I wrong or this article looks completely written by a LLM? The way it always repeats the redditor username is so weird.
Articles like this are a valid reason to choose an username like 'igargleexpiredcum'
This is happened twice now. What an utterly stupid country.
Twice recently.
The other time was not the first time
Anything that happens or is done more than once is tradition.
But was the GPU OK? That's gold right there.
It looks like it's just some of the RAM and the mobo. The obviously-AI article says they got $3500. The Insurance probably views the whole unit as one item and pays for it all. Unless the owner is a dumbass and says "oh, just pay me for the parts that were damaged and I'll salvage the rest."
I would sue the hell out of that neighbor, not just for the PC and the the hole in the wall. And he should be made to turn in all weapons, as there is this incident is proof that he is not up to the responsibility of gun ownership.
Please! Think of the GPU!
And oh... The RAM.. that poor fucking RAM never had a chance... Did it have a family?
Well yea, the motherboard clearly says “military grade”
So that's what that means. I always wondered.
Where I live, anyone who owns a firearm is required to keep it in a locked gun safe when not in use, and there are strict rules around transporting a firearm as well.
They cannot be left unattended in a vehicle, and they absolutely cannot, under any circumstances, be left loaded.
The fact that Americans have loaded firearms just kicking around in their house is utterly insane.
But it was in use. By the dog.
Presumably a good boy, so who was he trying to stop?
Probably a bad boy... With a gun.
This is the worst news ever.
Where I live, you need artillery to shoot through a house wall. Plus, the part about gun safes, not storing loaded, and ammo stored and locked separately.
Where I live, walls are not made of cardboard and would prbably have stopped (at least) anything up to and including a 5.56 mm round.
5.56 will punch through even thin steel plate, hitting a stud may stop it, but unless you have concrete walls, I'm calling bullshit on that.
Of course they're concrete, unless the house was built before WW 2.
Hey, so, as she's being charged for it, the fact is she was negligent because it wasn't properly secured....
So, uhh, what are you saying?
They're gonna have to sure that idiot neighbor for the $10,000 that RAM costs.
Anyone who is picking up their pitch forks at the offender needs to read this thread first. Before you unload your rage, consider taking what the victim did as a learning opportunity.
It was 3:30am in the morning when the shot happened. The neighbor who discharged the firearms rushed downstairs to check on the woman who's PC was shot, thankfully finding that she was not hurt. She was distraught, frantic, and told the PC owner that she will never own a firearm again and pay for all damages. They talked, and the PC owner learned that her daughter just passed away. A police report was still filed, but the PC owner isn't pressing charges. They're getting margaritas later together.
Let me be clear that this absolutely does not excuse what this woman did. However, what the PC owner did likely saved her neighbor's life. You see, at 3:30am in morning, there is only typically one thing people would do with a fire arm, to themselves.
Anyone would be in their right to be angry at this woman after what she did. But the PC owner extended her compassion and became this woman's friend at a time when she had every reason not to.
What the headline could have been was 'woman commits suicide after negligent discharge', but it was not. Imagine if the PC owner was the last person who spoke to her in anger, and imagine if she had to live with that for the rest of their life knowing that she could have done something about it.
A fucking learning experience?
She's lucky she didn't murder someone.
