Micron took millions in tax payer dollars from the CHIPS Act to build fabs. To then turn around and shut down their consumer market is kind of fucked. That’s a little more than a nothing burger.

Well I mean the 3 DRAM manufacturers that matter all made the decision to ramp down consumer RAM manufacturing. OpenAI alone is buying up 40% of all global DRAM production.
Given all the financial fuckery going on with OpenAI and the AI and hardware industries in general, I’m pretty sure this is intentional price fixing.

So just another day in capitalist society. Nothing to write home about imo.

Just accepting how fucked things are does not advance change. Others being concerned about it benefits you, so I’m not sure what you’re complaining about.

It’s just that society has much bigger problems than the price of ram sticks.
Like the price of housing, the price of food, transportation…
I don’t find this even worth mentioning, that’s just it.
