They told us us to buy computers in 2024 in case this happens. Here we are.

Damn I've bought a lot of crucial stuff over the years

I assume they're my current memory kit too since I pretty much always go with them

Are you fucking kidding me? Holy fucking hell.

Since nobody can afford memory, this means mainboards and cases will get cheaper, right?

China might dominate the ram market if things go this way:

Great. What SSDs are worth buying then? Kioxia? Solidigm? Never going to buy WD, Samsung is on my shit list too but if there's no other options left....

edit: just read that solidigm also exited the consumer business at the start of the 2025, amazing

Samsung is in my shitlist for their horrible shady business with their smartphones, but even tho I want to never buy anything Samsung again I still think their m.2 SSDs are really good, did something happen with that division that showed it's also shitty? I want to know and hate even more on Samsung

Story why I hate Samsung (was too long to put in the middle): bought a s21 fe thinking I'm getting a snapdragon processor, they hid never mentioned anywhere in the page that this specific model has their piece of shit exynos processor that literally struggles to run anything, overheats if it isn't on battery saving mode and goes through the battery like it's on sale
