memory is just the beginning. techbros are out to kill the PC market
@blogdiva yep: they're not even buying RAM, just RAM futures, creating an artificial scarcity that drives up prices for their competition (ie. us, ordinary human beings).

@blogdiva Even HDD and GPU prices are going up now. At this rate, CPUs and possible even PSUs will start getting crazy expensive if the market doesn't course correct.

@blogdiva @jenniferplusplus "you'll own nothing and be happy"
I was sort of hoping that these imaginary hardware shortages would get everyone up in arms but I expect most people think it's a temporary blip.
I'll be happy and use a note pad and pen. Screw giving them evil buggers even a penny.

@blogdiva they read Doctorow and, like they did with Orwell, (deliberately) learned the exact opposite of the message.

Will they manage to kill the PC market? Or will they manage to give birth to tens of thousands of small, local computer recycling, refurbishing, and building companies/centers?
All of it is going to collapse in on itself. It's just Theranos except instead of a couple billions of dollars it's a couple trillions of dollars.

@blogdiva Makes me glad I own around a half dozen computers of various types. I can probably live out my remaining years with at least one functional personal computer.
I hope sanity prevails sooner than that, and that the market isn't thoroughly gutted by greedy techbros.

@johnzajac @blogdiva that, and diversification of production. Things like RISC-V aren't just for nerds, it's the key to a resilient supply chain.
The computer market's getting fundamentally upended and old hardware won't be automatically obsolete anymore

@blogdiva yep, home server community was becoming way to refined for them to be comfortable. Someone with no technical knowledge could easily run a qnap server.
