Well, that’s just really shitty.

    Well I mean the 3 DRAM manufacturers that matter all made the decision to ramp down consumer RAM manufacturing. OpenAI alone is buying up 40% of all global DRAM production.

    Given all the financial fuckery going on with OpenAI and the AI and hardware industries in general, I’m pretty sure this is intentional price fixing.

        Just accepting how fucked things are does not advance change. Others being concerned about it benefits you, so I’m not sure what you’re complaining about.

          It’s just that society has much bigger problems than the price of ram sticks.

          Like the price of housing, the price of food, transportation…

          I don’t find this even worth mentioning, that’s just it.

            So, you’re going with the slippery slope: There are so many other problems, why worry about a new one?

            I’m homeless and struggle to afford food, so I’m aware of the larger issues in play. The problem here is that we’re adding a new one atop societal decay. Handwaving each new fuckup away is how we succumb to a future without agency.

            Now is the time to be shouting from the rooftops, not giving up.
