Are PC Parts Considered Essential (VIC Stage 4 Lockdown) ?

Hi all,

Planning to purchase some parts like processor, motherboard etc and collecting them from the store. However, the store is 25km away?

Is that ok? If I got stopped, I can argue that without the parts, I can't work from home.

    If it's not essential, then why is the shop even open?

      Because the definition of essential depends on context and not necessarily the product. PC dead need it for work=essential. Want to buy some leds for my PC not essential

    Sure it is. When the cops stop you just tell them you're a sovereign citizen. On the way back home be sure to burn down a 5g tower while you're at it.

      Why isn't there an App that shows people in Vic a 5G Tower that hasn't been burnt down within 5km?

    • Don't forget to lock your door and keep the windows up lest those bastards try to infringe upon your sovereign rights.

    Let us know how you go on your road trip :) Tell them the reason OzB allowed you to travel and buy parts. You should be able to get away with it easily.

    What part of 'stay home' dont you understand.

  • not essential unless it's a pre-release of a RTX 3090Ti.

    Jokes aside you should be staying at home and paying for shipping. That saving of $15-40 isn't worth getting COVID-19 + spreading to love ones + causing somebody's death because of a small savings of $15-$40.

    Stay home.

    If you get pulled over, you can tell the cops that you thought it was still stage 3 and you haven't seen or heard news about stage 4 because your computer has been broken for a while.

    • And you don't own a TV or radio and don't read any newspapers…

        We don't have FTA. and what is this thing you call newspapers?

        This is 2020. News and media are delivered via fixed and wireless broadband.

  • @axn - It is impolite to change the topic after your question has been answered. Now if someone wanted to search to find out the same query as you, they would not find the topic.
