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

#Raspberrypi 5 16 GB price has almost doubled, #RAM now costs as much as the rest of the PC, GPU prices starting to rise again, NVMe prices through the roof ... Hobby market is once again being destroyed, PCs and gaming machines becoming unaffordable ... all so that Scam Altman can continue his #AI scam a little longer. This is corporate greed at its worst ...

One good thing may come out of this AI-driven RAM crunch. It might be the kick in the behind that gets developers to give up complacency about library and framework bloat (*cough* Electron), reverse Wirth's law, and start caring about their applications' memory footprint.

Richard Speed of The Register compared skyrocketing DRAM prices to the 1970s oil crisis. Automakers had to innovate by making their vehicles more fuel-efficient.

ENG: Corporate overlords want us to feed Ai, not just by storing everything in their mega servers and data centers ( euphemistically called "the cloud"), but now by making it really expensive not to create content right there. Watch the vid, boost and please: do not feed the corporate monster...

ESP: Los amos corporativos quieren que alimentemos a Ai, no sólo almacenando todo en sus megaservidores y data centers (eufemísticamente llamados "la nube"), sino disparando el costo de crear contenido fuera de ellos. Mira el vídeo, compartelo y, por favor, no alimentes al monstruo corporativo...
