    Like it or not, I perceive this to be the future; shitty/scary times ahead for us all in these new hardware-scarcity times.

      Or we all get a bunch of discounts when they have production infrastructure for a bunch of data center AI horseshit nobody wants any longer, driving up the supply of desktop/laptop RAM chips.

      Doesn’t hurt to dream and hope a little during these dark times.

        They will burn it all down and destroy countless bits of precious metal and other expensive material at a high cost before they sell them to us.

        I’m really sorry, too used to dealing with shitheads on Reddit that only want to offend with passive-aggressive responses, I’m only a recent addition to the Lemmy-sphere, please forgive.

        I misunderstood your tone; it’s sad that one should have to “hope” for such a thing now!

        IDK man, but I think our best-case scenario so far will be HBM graphics cards returning for a while, not the flood of cheap hardware.
