Once the shit finally hits the fan, my machines will all get maxed out for the price of just one module today.
That is never happening.
Firstly, because the ram is primarily being used in systems that use ram that is completely incompatible with your systems.
Even if you are a homelaber, the ram used on GPUs is literally just the dies, and of a different type, GDDR, or HBM, which is even more impossible to use.
The servers themselves are requiring crazier and crazier power setups such that you could not power it at home.
The days of just getting a crap ton of hyperscaler stuff for home fun are nearing their end.
Like, even without AI, you're not getting a serviceable Graviton rack in your home.
The other reason this is not happening, is because even if shit hits the fan, companies will not give you the same prices they had before, no matter what.
That's just how companies now operate. The shareholders never want them to lower prices, and so they don't.
The only time consumers see new prices are with blitz business strategies to monopolize whole markets, and those have very obvious monkeys paws clauses.
Did you not notice the community you were in? I wasn't serious, but you are - whether it's due to hypertension, or an insecurity-driven need to overcompensate by showing off your "superior" knowledge is something I DGAF about.
Go take some Tylenol PM with some herbal tea, get some decent sleep, and remember to unbind your twisted panties.
Good night.
What a bizzare reaction. Sorry I burst your imaginary bubble?
New copy/paste just dropped!
The mid-tier gaming machine I built in 2024 has doubled in value.
Seriously. I was thinking about throwing an additional 32GB into my gaming PC, upping it to 64GB.
I've recently realized that I am perfectly happy with 32GB. Even if it is DDR4.
Like second hand cars during covid
Finally - a tangible altcoin!
