Building a PC the past 2 years has been the best decision ever...depleted inventories my fucking ass, less people are building PC's now than ever because of the memory chip prices. They're cutting supply to increase prices.

This is a reminder to all AMD fans that NO company gives a damn about any of us.

Same here. Built a new PC like 6 months ago when it was all barely starting (good timing) and my notebook and phone are also fairly recent, like 1.5 years old. Tablet as well fairly recent, 2y old, but that's really only used for home media consumption so it doesn't even matter in that case. So I should be good for the next 5+ years or so. Hopefully the AI bubble has burst until then.

I was planning on replacing my 2017 build next year but I bit the bullet this month. Even if prices drop by 50% in the next year there are going to be no parts to buy :/
