😱 Oh no, the sky is falling! The RAM shortage might last years! Quick, everyone panic-buy overpriced memory sticks and hoard them like it's the apocalypse! 🤦‍♂️ Because, obviously, mass hysteria is the best solution to market fluctuations. 💡

I have two of these to sell to an IC fab. That’ll be €1M each. #ChipShortage #RAMShortage #SSDShortage #HDDShortage #Retribution #FuckAI #FuckCapitalism

I really hope people don't buy new hardware for a while after that price slam.

They have been gaming the prices because of AI data centers, and everyone else has been paying for it.

They had projections for normal demand. They screwed everyone over by not protecting consumer prices.

Sumit Khanna reports that the cost per gigabyte of memory for desktop computers has had no net improvement since 2009. The present RAM shortage has erased a decade and a half of gains. How do we get application developers to use more efficient frameworks?

Raspberry Pi’s RAMageddon response includes a 3GB Raspberry Pi 4 ($84) and by raising the 16GB Raspberry Pi 5 price to $305

Part of what makes Raspberry Pi’s tiny computers special is that they’re cheap, making them widely accessible to students, educators, hobbyists, and businesses alike. But the global RAM shortage has hit PC makers hard, causing many to raise prices. And that’s especially noticeable from a company that got its start by selling $35 computers.

Raspberry Pi has increased prices for some models […]

This a HUGE WARNING its not just a temporary price hike, billionaires have bought materials needed to make ram, to cut supply of chips, and hard drives, TO CORNER THE MARKET and destroy personal computing not owned by them.

They control phones, you control PCs.

There are a quarter BILLION laptops that are prevented from using windows, no upgrades, no security, no fixes.

Get a laptop, several laptops, install linux

:illyapanic: The RAM crunch could kill products and even entire companies

｢ The RAM shortage may affect everything that computing touches over the next several years, as only three companies control 93 percent of the entire DRAM market, and while those three companies are building more facilities, they don’t want to build too fast. All three have decided to prioritize profits instead of risking overproduction that could lose them money later ｣

The out-of-stock Steam Deck is the latest victim of the RAM & storage shortage

AI companies have an insatiable need for memory & storage, and that’s driving up the price for these vital computer components, while also leading to shortages. We’ve seen some companies including Framework and Raspberry Pi already introduce significant price increases, and most other PC makers are expected to announce price hikes this year, if they haven’t already.

The situation is likely […]
