So are we going to boycott ram company brands that refused to boost production when they had the factories/machine to do so? Can we get some names of the tech companies that refused to shore up ram production for consumers? Starting with OpenAI for starting the price hike? I've already switched to Deepseek.
Samsung is one of the companies we should boycott.
>>107574924Boycotting is useless, the AI/ML companies already place their bid in. There isn't much demand for UDIMM to begin with. Outside of Windows 10 sunset. Nobody is getting their hands on UDIMMs. DRAM production is being allocated to produce RDIMM/LRDIMMs and HBM.
how often are people buying ram that this shit is suddenly an emergency? I put 64gb in my workstation a few years ago when pc hardware was super cheap, and I can't imagine that being "not enough" in the next decade
>>107574924Will boucott ram companies and... won't buy any products that we couldn't afford anyway? Besides you can just use your old computer. It's still good.
no they are boycotting us to provide companies that have more money
>>107574976The demographic who is suffer are prosumers who can't get their hands on RDIMM/LRDIMMs for their systems or have to pay through the nose for it.The prices on DDR5 RDIMM/LRDIMMs are really crazy. If you think DDR5 UDIMM are bad.
>>107575082so basically the people complaining about AI RAM $$ are the ones trying to buy ram to use for AI?
>>107574924Just threaten to let Kim walk all over Worst Korea and see that they suddenly scale up RAM production tenfold
>>107574976It's the holidays. We can't afford to buy good gaming computers for our kids. When ram normalizes, we should punish the ram companies that turned their back on us.
>>107575205>ram manufacturers prioritize selling to big companies who pay them more money>we'll get revenge by making sure they don't want to sell to random dudes with no moneyexcellent planalso what the fuck is this new captcha shit
>>107574924The prices got in the way of one of my simpler builds (for my parents), but the prices on the Threadripper build I've been planning have largely been unaffected as prices were already retardedly high there.Save any boycotts for when prices normalize again, you can really put the screws to them then.
>>107574976because they shouldn't be paying 3-4 times the price you did for the same amount of ram just because sam altman and the cuck crew are trying to force glorified chatbots into every crevice possible to inflate their wallets even more
>>107575239I'll just buy ram from a company that didn't decide to not shore up ram production even though they had the capability to do so.
Shouldn't Sam the sister diddler be sued for antitrust practice since buying 40% of the ram production fucks up all other AI companies?
>consumers, the 10% of the entire market think they're changing the world by boycotting>huge ass corporations go: oh neat, even more for us
>>107575310The one getting sued should be mciron but we all know nothing will happen.
>>107574924how exactly? are you going to refuse to buy products you can't buy anyway? you don't make them any money in the first place retard, the enterprise supply chain is what actually pays their bills. they're not going to increase production because they're not going to take a capital risk on ai. and they're still going to make all the money.
>>107575257they're aren't any.
>>107574924Boycott what? The RAM they aren't going to be selling?
