If footballs become too expensive I'll cut off a few branches and use a small stone for a puck. Who needs football when it is ripping you off? That's why it'll never get too out of hand. The football industry doesn't want to destroy itself.

I got an Nvidia when I got my dream machine last time (paid a shitload of money, but it was half what it would be if I got it now). Since I value my current machine very much and the computer field seems to be stagnating, I will just maintain my current machine. The last failure was due to a dying power supply (which can be replaced) and a dying hard drive.
If I wanted to add a 2nd GPU to my computer, it is going to be an AMD. I had AMDs before and they were fine.
As an analyst from my country proposes, depending on how the situation is dealt with, the next step would be a "stag-inflation", when inflation freezes for a while. Then, if the issue is left to grow, there are cases of deflation, but because people are in full contingency. And as manufactures lose notion of cost and demand, they stop producing as much, shrinking the already shrinking stocks, and making people go on a rush to stock up, resulting in hyper-inflation.
But I suspect this issue is just a cover up for the world's general impoverishment/inflation from the past few decades, AIs being an useful scapegoat.
This is all accurate but overlooks bullwhip effect and that applies to fuckin everything somehow at the same time as everyone nit realizing theyre doing it lol. Every supply shortage results in either people over ordering or oem's over producing demands. Its like natural law in my andecdotal experience. Half kidding but other half is super cereal.
