I built my PC shortly before the GPU shortage and plan on not updating till the RAM shortage is over (not that I could update earlier since money is currently an issue)
I’m still recovering from the crypto mining caused GPU shortages during covid.
Next you won’t be able to own computers yourself. It’s all going to be rented through sky high subscription fees. Technofeudalism intensifies.
*capitalism.
it’s ruined everything it’s touched. including my porn / gaming rig.
How is that capitalism when “who you know” is the one most important factor deciding what you can do?
Those AI companies don’t have and never earned the money they are investing. The people lending them the money also don’t have and never earned it.
Exactly. Capitalism, as the other commenter said. There is a reason it is called “capitalism”, as in capital, and not “rightfully earned profit”.
And my porn gaming rig!
And my gaming porn rig!
And my gaping morn rig!
And my AUX!
There was a huge PSU price hike in the early 2020s… They’ve since come down, but I did snag a Corsair 1KW Platinum for like 130USD on a sick sale back then JUST IN CASE.
This stuff reminds me of all those capo dogs who would constantly talk about how hard it was to acquire a car in the USSR
Maybe not PSU shortages, but definitely power supply shortages.
I love gas turbines! I love pollution spewing power plants reliant on a scarce natural resource! (heavy /s)
Did the GPU shortages ever really end, though? We just have more shortages on top of it.
It did but the inflated prices stayed because enough people were willing to pay them. If people don’t abstain from buying ram and storage for the next 18 months then those prices will stay where they are too.
