This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I can't wait till these companies shutter their AI shit and that supply gets dumped back into the market
Knowing real life some other party will juice it and ride the ram shortage for another few years, just keeping the supply as a speculative income stream.
All that means is that I'll start caring about something else. It's RAM, not food or shelter.
That’s fine, I’m over here eating popcorn, watching all the drama…..
Luckily I’m not likely to need any laptop, phone, tablet. game console, car, tv, etc any time soon. All my higher end devices are good for a few years until the bubble bursts.
That being said, my hobbies tend to be in low end devices. We know raspberry pi’s are now expensive and likely to get worse, but I wonder how it will effect the tiny bit of old technology memory in things like “smart switches” and sensors
They are underestimating my willingness to run tiny systems. Say hello to Tiny Core Linux.
Running something meaningful on a $20 hardware is a pleasure like no other
Its a nice flex to be more productive on a potato than some are on the fancy stuff
I'd just point out that now might be a good time to add a whole-house surge arrester and/or get a bunch of new surge arresting power strips for your hardware. They have a useful life measured in joules dissipated so replace them if they're old too or your cheap RAM (among other things) may let out the magic smoke one day.
