I remember 5 years ago so someone on /g/ predicted that soon we would not able to buy PC parts - not even because they would be too expensive, but because manufactures would simply stop selling to individual consumers, as doing so would be inefficient in comparison to selling to companies.
I did not screencap the post unfortunately.
It's not rocket science if you keep an eye on the markets and extrapolate where things are going.Decades ago you needed a full PC to write an email. Nowadays normals do all their everyday shit on their phone and they can even easily connect their TV and a keyboard to it if they happen to write more or do office stuff.The PC will return to the professional field just like in the early 80s together with the pricetag.

You niggers were laughing at me when I was buying up all the 128GB DDR4 3600 CL16 kits and pairing them with Zen 3 threadripper CPUs when they got down to $800.I have all the home computing power I will need for 20 years.

>>107561071Crucial was an outlier. Samsung and Hynix aren't really selling RAM directly to consumers. Heck, Hynix isn't even selling many SSDs directly to consumers.
who cares? There's zero financial upside to Micron competing with itself when they can instead sell the chips to companies who will package and sell them to the consumer. It's their Fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders to get that bag. not doing so would be illegal.
