Aug 2024, I purchased 32gb of RAM for $109. That same kit today would cost me $509. Sept 2025 I got a 250gb nvme for $33 that is now around $85. The inflation is real.
oh you kids...let me tell ya how much RAM was in the late 90s....
I appreciate the fact that this is a still gif (good compression!), but it has several frames with differing compression artifacts for no good reason.
Not inflation, just artificial shortage
Ditto, thought 64 would've been overkill at that point...
