They've all been sold to AI datacenters. None for you.https://x.com/wccftech/status/2022758027011498351
>>108147944oh good.
>>108147944>yes goy we can't sell you HDDs anymore because the hyperscalers using specialized flash only array for their AI training nodes are.. uh...Anyone that believes this for even just a second needs to be culled for the species to have any hope for a future.
Thank fucking God, we need more epstein diddy clips
I regret not buying more 8tb drives when they were $120 a piece. Now they are over $200.
Just like they shut all the crt factories down.Supply and demand is fake, demanded products are not supplied in globohomo economies.
>>108147944Good. The Market has spoken. If you don't like it then make your own. You are not entitled to anything your money cannot buy. Face it. AI is just more valuable, otherwise it wouldn't have so much financial backing.
>>108148024>crtard
>>108148024Yes they are, retard. The Market does not make mistakes. The truth is you and your ilk are just not worth the opportunity cost. If 10000 people want a $100 LCD display and 1000 people a $200 CRT would I choose to sell 10000 LCD displays or 1000 CRT displays? Only a retard with no business sense would choose the latter.
>>108148026Except only retarded execs want AI so they can fire everyone and take the rest of the money
>>108148063The execs are not retarded. Their job is to make the most profitable business. Employees are a cost. Only a retard would choose to have unnecessary employees or spend money they do not have to. Face it. AI is the future and using AI to run your business results in more profits. If you aren't using AI to replace your employees you will lose to those who do.
>>108147993Probably because companies like WD have shifted to making more of those products instead of their traditional HHDs
>>108148109>Probably because companies like WD have shifted to making more of those products instead of their traditional HHDsYou mean the Western Digital that spun off its flash division two years ago?
>>108148019After the bubble bursts they'll be $20
>>108147944Can't they just make more?
>>108148013Epstein is the hero we didn't deserve. Guy did absolutely nothing wrong.
You dont need storage, everything can be streamed.
>>108147944Friend of mine:> Buys External HDD for 400€> Open it up > Takes out the 20TB HDD > Put in a cheap af HDD with 1TB > Return the item > Retail guy merely checks if something is in the box. They dont even verify it.
>>108148075>The execs are not retardedLol, lmao even
>>108148216kek
>>108148126It doesn't have to strictly speaking be flash, but they're creating products which target their new rich customers. Remember, you can always see what a corporation is up to, because they want to tell you.https://www.westerndigital.com/company/newsroom/press-releases/2026/2026-02-03-western-digital-accelerates-storage-innovation-for-ai-era
>>108148075>Employees are a cost. Only a retard would choose to have unnecessary employees or spend money they do not have to.Not when you think like a manager.Employees are status.A manager with 100 people below him has higher status than a manager with 20 people below him.And a CEO of a company with 20.000 employees has a higher status than a CEO of a company with 5.000 employees.Higher status = higher pay.If you're a $300k/year manger and you notice 40 of your 50 people are unproductive you don't fire 40 people you hire 200 more.Now you have 250 employees under you, justifying a $1M per year salary, and the job gets done with the 50 productive ones so everybody is happy.
>>108148216>They dont even verify itbig retail co's have to be pretty thorough with data wipes, I wouldn't rely on it.
Is there a way I can speed up the boot process when my HBA SAS controller is plugged in?
>>108148208Ai firms have bought all supply they're ever going to make for the next dozen years with money that doesn't exist.
>>108148302No clue, the mere process would be too much work for me. Good for him but for me it doesn't matter too much if a bunch of HDDs I buy every few years cost me overall 1000€ or 2000€
>buying up product that doesn't exist, for a glorified auto correct that will never amount to anything other than making cat videoswell we got a cyberpunk future its just not really neon lit and filled with bionic tech.
They're sold to datacenters on paper, but they're not actually being utilized. It's all a huge fraudulent scheme to trick investors and the government into giving them money.
>>108148355>with money that doesn't existEveryone keeps saying this, but do zoomers just not realize the whole world runs on debt? If there's anything you need to be mad about, it's MMT.
>>108147944When the AI bubble crashes will this whole trend reverse as ebay is flooded with mountains of cheap hardware?Or is this all going to landfill?
r/DataHoarder is gonna FREAK when they hear about this one!
>>108148482Probably landfill to avoid crashing the consumer market as well.
>>108148075Only a retard would burn all that money on shit nobody wants/needs
>>108148482All to landfill for economic and national security reasons. Many businesses do the same thing with food, hardware, furniture, machinery, etc.
>>108148472Usury is a sin remember
>>108148482Well the easiest solution is directly declaring a datacenter a landfill after its use
>>108148472Yeah out of context, referring to money that doesn't exist can be confusing. It's just one part of a larger picture.
>>108147944nigga i'm good. i have a too much storage. i even have multiple 128gb usb 3.0 flash drives and another 4tb hhd on the side. Unless your hogging multiple open source ai models and loras. realistic you don't massive amount of storage in a pc.
>>108147944I am the AI
>hmm maybe I should buy a 6tb hdd this month...>nah I'll wait a couple more months>A.I hoarding happened>have jag shit nowIm so fucked in the A-H
>>108147944In other words, even AI companies doesn't trust Seagate?
>>108147944Nice, now datacenters can use them to sell cloud storage back to us!
>>108148574no, you're a monkey with amoeba IQ
>>108148019After the bubble bursts, they'll be $2,000
>every single company has the same dump of libgen and scihub fo feed into shitty llmkek
>>108147993>>108148019>>108148024I feel like they were just doing this shit with bullets or something, oil maybe? yeah it must be oil where they were intentionally dropping production and refusing to ramp it up because they had better margins with lower production
>>108148472>being so assfisted by zoomers.
>>108148075>The execs are not retarded. Their job is to make the most profitable business.their job is to juice quarterly stock prices, not to make profits
>>108148208gun and ammo companies spun up production in like 2016 and a bunch went bankrupt right after due to demand dropping. so now they are gun shy about building new factories. that's like a super common problem with American gun companies with Winchester, Remington and Cold all going bankrupt multiple times all the way back to the 1800s whenever demand dropped. there was fucking shit with the oil companies where the north dakota shale companies jumped production during the late obongo and trump years and then brandon pulled all their drilling permits so they went bankrupt when coof happened and bp and the standard oil babies all under produced because they made more money by under producing than they would have had they met demand
>>108147944Are there no laws that stop one company from buying up the supply? Like could one grocery store buy all teh food?
>>108148216>400€good morning, saar!
>>108147944They need to store all that personal information they collect from spying on you somewhere.
>>108148472yeah, when the jews pacted with Satan and killed Jesus they were given the power to control money. that's why all the speculators and usurers are rich
>>108148779uhh someone is angry, shouldn't have cut your penor ;)
>>108149166why would there be a law against doing that? I think it's only an issue when it's hoarding necessary disaster supplies
>>108147944this monopolization of resources (water, electricity, ram, hard drives, etc) is literally criminal. Why are these companies not being prosecuted?
>>108148062>The Market does not make mistakes.
>>108149224Triggered?
>>108148216niggerlicious behavior
>>108149218because voters care more about trannies and mexicans
>>108149218Don’t you like it? Make your own hdd factory
>>108149213because it could disrupt society if a bad actor did it
>>108147944I've stockpilled on ssd and hdd just before the price spikes, fuck them, I hope they all go bankruptAI is a net negative for humanity as it-is, it does not matter how many diseases we find cure for or how many math problems we solve, we have fucking nothing anymore and we'll soon fight for water and food while they rape children on islands... what's even the point of this retardation then...
>>108149337blame the fucking dems. they don't do jack or shit about the AI companies either and try to push jeets, illegals and trannies down everyone's throats. go look at virginia. are they dealing with the AI shit? fuck no they are passing a law some jeet wrote to ban guns and gerrymandering the state to remove republican representation in government. California is doing the same shit
>>108149347it's only a law if it's for shit people need to live and HDDs don't count
>>108149337>implying voting works>implying even if it did there are any politicians interested in prosecuting the ai companies>implying even if there were those politicians wouldn't get paid off>in addition, implying trannies and mexicans don't need to be dealt with also and that politicians can only do one thing
>>108149409What are states supposed to do when this is coming from the federal levelhttps://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/12/eliminating-state-law-obstruction-of-national-artificial-intelligence-policy/
>>108147944I bought 2 6TB Toshiba HDDs when I saw prices rising.>>108148208they would have to stop colluding and start competing
>>108149424>EOwow, it's literally nothing. good thing dems in virginia and new mexico are doing important things like banning .50 bmg, a round that costs $5 per round and is so fucking rarely used in crimes no one is able to provide more than like 2 examples. they legit do like 1 or 2 that happened decades ago, then they try to do waco when there is no evidence for it and other countriesdems don't want to solve the problem. they want to ban guns and import thirdies
>>108149409>the dems are the ones pushing AI!!!Damn I didn't know Trump and every single boomer on earth was a democrat
>>108147993When was the last time you bought a hard drive
>>108149623>no, we can't stop AI, we are too busy banning guns
>>108147944Can't wait to contribute to China's growing trade surplus once they have RAM and drives on the market
>>108147944Watch as they come crawling back because more communities are rethinking datacenters.
This is just gonna make China even more strong in the end, when the bubble pops
>>108149755wdym? elaborate
>>108148216I did that with Amazon's Sennheiser HD to get fresh pads
>>108149771A lot of places signed on as locations for datacenters, and now some are pulling out as they realize the electric and water usage and that they don't have the infrastructure to support it.
>>108148212Don't normally care enough but goddamnName?
>>108148216>buy external HDD for 400€>open it up>there is a 1TB HDD inside>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE>return it, explain problem>they accuse me of trying to scam them>refund rejected>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>108147944Just buy cloud storage, got. It’s cheaper that way.
>>108148293>If you're a $300k/year manger and you notice 40 of your 50 people are unproductive you don't fire 40 people you hire 200 more. >Now you have 250 employees under you, justifying a $1M per year salary, and the job gets done with the 50 productive ones so everybody is happy.This half retarded but a shred of truth.My uncle is unironically a VP of Engineering. He legitimately told me he never fires the retards because he waits for layoffs so he can use them as sacrificial lambs during mandated layoffs to keep the ones he really wants.
>>108147944i;m glad i accidentally bought like 200 dollars of extra hard drives in 2022
>>108149813Why would I want to rent storage I have to go on paying for and that spies on me, when I could buy storage that I actually own and control?
>>108148526usury + womens rights = middle class to debt slaves in a single generation
>>108149821You will own nothing and be happy
>>108149123yeah, squeezing and scalpingtoo much money out there, they can buy up all the capacity/output, then benefit from the artificially constrained supply, i think theres a story from the 1950s about a guy buying up all the onion futures
>>108149123they do that with oil all the time. and diamonds.
>>108149788English not your first language?
>>108149830That picture makes no senseThe Apple IS sex
Should I give a shit about wd abandoning the hdd biz when barracuda has better cheap drives for storage and toshiba is better for NAS/Security Camera storage??I am gonna check the stores anyways but isn't blue the only shit worth the price they sell at?
They're doing this on purpose. AI companies know the future of AI is local, specialized LLMs if they don't do something about it.
>>108149864the apple is the knowledge of good and evil anonadam and eve were having sex before being tempted. Just like how they were naked and did not know that it was wrong to be naked.
>>108149139Making profits is the only way to do that, retard. Investors are rational. They will not invest in a business that has no chance to turn a profit. If the stock price goes up the investment is worth it. End of story. No investor has ever looked at their money and said "lol. lmao. I will just throw this in the trash." Every investor bets on the success of the company and they would never back a company with incompetent executives. Face it. AI is the future and executives, as a class, are better in all ways than some retarded jealous of their success spouting nonsense on the internet.
>>108149851It is, but keep trying.
>>108148216GIVE IT BACK
>>108148216The west has fallen
>>108149797@natalie_grace_official_3
>>108149886I'll be
>>108148026>>108148062I know these are bait but can you really talk about market when the US government is subsidizing AI companies?
>>108149766why does she have the riot model 12 instead of a full length gun?>>108149813eww
>>108148216I regularly do that with stuff that breaks but with Amazon. Easiest way to warranty an item haha.
>>108149830correct and good post>>108149909>Making profits is the only way to do that,there are tons of companies who grew their stock prices or had super expensive and popular stocks without turning a profit, retardo. uber eats and netflix didn't turn profits for fucking years and their stocks kept going up you gay retard.the speculator market exists to rob the goy of their labor, not to reward companies for making profits
>>108149909>No investor has ever looked at their money and said "lol. lmao. I will just throw this in the trash."literally blackrock with teachers' pension funds, retardo
>>108148216>>108150156yeah I once bought a rifle scope from amazon, decided I didn't like it, dropped it in the whole foods parking lot and returned it and they gave me my money back
>>108149629I bought an HDD ... let's see... September.
Who are the people posting that they return things that they break or damage? I want those "people" deported with only prison clothing. They can't be allowed to use the Internet ever. Bortle 1 for you.
>>108150214oh no, I'm sure jeff will survive
>>108147944>there is no more ramlook on different webshops, ram widely available, just a bit more expensive>there are no more gpu'slook on different webshops, gpu's widely available, just a bit more expensive>there are no more hdd'slook on different webshops, hdd's widely available, just a bit more expensivethis board sure loves its drama huh
>>108150272Nigger everything is twice as expensive as it was last year.
>>108150272Yeah there is a great deal of hyperbole that I don't understand. I moved a bunch of ddr4 from my main computer and my home server to a new machine for ai and naturally had to replace what i took. i ended up buying a bunch of 4gb ddr4 sticks for cheap and since each of my machines has eight slots was able to give my two other machines 32gbthere are options, plenty of them, to be found in the use market. if anything it is an exciting time. i really want to buy an sxm2 to pcie adapter and get a v100 to play with.i can't wait for the current crop of data centers to go up for sale.
>>108147944So fake and gay.This is setting up the WEF's cyber event to happen where they'll demand every device needs to be authorized by digital IDs to use because of some fake cyber 9/11 they've got cooked up.Meanwhile GPUs, SSDs, RAM, HDDs, PSUs will all be horded in empty warehouses for them to go back on and install backdoors into for the feds to have all access to.This world is so fucking gay it hurts. Everything you could ever like will always end up infiltrated and ruined by glow niggers, jews, freemasons and zionists.
>>108147944It's going to be so amazing when the AI bubble pops and HDD prices plummet as the market is flooded with drives from all the dismantled data centers.
>>108150334>where they'll demand every device needs to be authorized by digital IDs to use because of some fake cyber 9/11 they've got cooked up.the current discord event is the more likely way it will be deployed. if it is a platform the powers that be control they will require id, simple as.the solution is just to build alternative platforms.>run you own web form>host your own bbs>setup a usenet and email serverbasically people need to do what the internet was made to do, self host, and stop depending on what the powers that be provide.
>>108147944I don;t care I standardised on 256/512 SSDs and SDFlash and 500GB,1TB and 2TB drives and expected this so have everything I need fro my offline lan.It's getting really completed at this stage, I've nearly taken everything off the internet I want. Amazing how far a couple of TB actually goes.
>>108150349I went ahead and got an 8TB WD Black drive on amazon since they still have some left, and I assume they will for a while since they do that stupid FOMO of "Only 6 left!" before it mysteriously restock itself. Anyway, I had the same concerns in November about all the SSD FOMO that I went ahead and got a 2TB 990 Pro on sale still for normal price range then seeing it double in January. Shit sucks and I am hoping this is just some temporary bubble shit and that the pop will be a beautiful disaster that will be talked about for the nation before the society shits itself 5ever.
>>108150365You should be building your offline lan and its offline only software and media if you want digital soverignty. Speaking from experinece it takes time. At this stage even a realtive normie like my wife finds it just as good as the internet. The whole internet could vanish tomorrow and I would still have Tends of thousand of booksThe entire guttenberg libraryWikipediaThousands of hours of youtubeWell over 20,000 MP3sEnyclopedia BritannicaStack exchangeALl the dev documentation, libraries and languages,All the OSs drivers, isos and images.All the patches and updatesmedlinelibre textsLoads of Wikis All my infosec and AI tools and builds25000+ gamesWell over 3000 movies and complete TV seriesEmulators, dev envitoments, media editing etc, databases, media servers etc etc etcThat reminds me, I need to grab encyclopedia dramatica
>>108150431I actually dislike drives over 2TB for a few reasons, first 2TB was the cap for XP/"KPro and I like to standardise. Even moving up the OS tree it's better both on throughput and redundsancy to have 2X2TBs in e.g a win7 box that Ix4TB. I found 2TB a great size to settle on but 500GB drives are reslly useful to. Most OSs fit fairly comfortably in that size.
>>108150431>I am hoping this is just some temporary bubble shitIt's not the industry wants consumers on cloud portal clients with about 500GB and ideally less like 256. There will be devices with 1-2TB sure but they will be expesnive for normies and they will be apple/amdroid cloud portal devices. Personal computing is dying. If it needs an internet connection to run or a logon, it's fucked mate, bigtime.
>>108148472luddites are kind of retarded. What else is new?
>>108150446I don't disagree and have been in the process of hording data for years. What I really need to invest in is running a mirror of a linux distro with all its packages. I want to be able to do a full install + software without the internet.You wouldn't happen to know a good guide for setting up a debian mirror?
>>108150528You don;t get it, nta but I'm not a luddite at all. I'll explain, you have a PC because of IBM and MSFT and Intel, you have a GPU because of Nvidia YOU had a peronal computer BECAUSE corporations wanted to sell you one.Now they don;t anymore, they want to sell you comthing else which is a portal device, whether that's win11, linux feeding of online repositories or netflix, AWS, Azure, Google cloud, a post seventh gen games console, an andoid or apple device. They want that because they want to monitise you as a subsciption. They never liked dealing with you, you hacked their shit, you pirated their software and media and they don't give two fucks what you want or think anymore and they are not going to sell you shit for a retarded space heater desktop with dumb fucking leds in it. They might sell you a server product (you will also have to subscibe). If you don;t startb working up your offline LAN and digital soverignty what the fuck are you going to do? All teh corpprations that enabled your personal computing don;t want to sell that to you anymore. They want to sell you somthing else.that is slower than local computing and storage, less secure and less private and they do not give a fuck if you don't like it. You are up against every single massive computing corporation that made your dumb fucking overbuilt desktop possible in the first place and they don't want you making them anymore. They want you on Apple TV, Amazon Prime, Azure, One Drive, Google Drive, Good Docs, Office 365. Even the fucking Linux scene is well illusrated by Steam OS, it's another fucking portal device. If you don;t sort your shit out and fast, you are fucked. And piling all your resources into one overbuilt space heater led lit monstrosity creates a single point of failure and is not the way to go about it. If you want peer torrenting for your disk images on your offline LAN you will need multiple clients..
>>108147944FUCK FUCK FUCK i was holding to buy a new hdd
>>108150583Things are not as bad as you make them out to be because there will always be a secondary market for used components and you can make a general purpose computer out of just about anything that can compute and be wired to a display of some kind.For sure don't be stupid and squirrel away what you can now but don't let yourself be consumed by worry and dread. Whatever happens you can adapt and find a way make what you need.
>>108149909don't look up the tesla stock price bro
AI is cancer
>>108150567THis is the way I have solved my problems with redundancy. Do your clean installs, patch everything up get them sweet and tuned with your utilities eytc. YOu don;t need ANY deciurity because it is offlines. OK image the partitions, most of it is empty so compress it. Do that for each machine. A lot of mine dual book, stuff like XP/Win7 or SUSE/Win10. When you have all your disk images and your machines up, ensuring they are on surge protection, set up a peer torrent so wach machines torrents its drive image. Now I keep three raid boxes as well, One of them is outside the building on a UPS, the other two are inside the building on a UPS. I find that people generally overeastimate storage, you get a shit load of material into a couple of terrabyes. That material lives on the RAIDS, your software, your MP4s, MP3s, PDFS, etc. I used used WAN mirrored databases and I'm not a huge fan of mirroring, it's defnitely a way to deal with redundacy and there is more than one way to crack and egg.You may like this (a lot)https://kiwix.org/en/I'm happy enough stopping at the most modern stuff being win10/SUSE not because I'm a luddite retro kid but because OSs like e,.g Win7, older distros, ZP etc, like gen 7 consoles were actually build to be offline, that's not true of the current stuff. It's not true of steam and it's not true of linux or windows either. I have a big librray of physical media behind everything which sound dumb but it has no electrical cost, has no need for parts and it works.. I fucking hate the direction things have gone and are goi9ng but when I see kids ranting about shit like the xbox or whatever the thing is ALL new games are going to run via cloud servers, they won;t run offline at ball and you will be able to play them on any portal device. I think it will all suck ass too. In one way I am a luddite, I just installed OG starcraft on Win7 and got it running LAN multiplayer. Golden era. It is over.
Seriously, is there any realistic path to unfucking the hobbyist PC market, or is this just it
>>108150602>Things are not as bad as you make them out to be because there will always be a secondary market for used componentsNot yet which is why I will scream to anons from the rooftops to start at least thinking about getting your offline LAN, no internet gateway at all. You can do it a million ways BUT whether you make it from old Windows XP boxes, Windows 10 boxes, Kali Linus boxes, Arch whatever the fuck, it all has to fuction with no logons, no internet connectivity and give you what you want, that might be dev envs, it might be loads of mp4s, it might be video editing or whatever but if you need an internet connection of logon to make something launch, it's fucking worthless. That drives you back to non SAAS.Computing is going back to being a niche hobby. Normies doin't even want laptops now let alone desktops. Most internet access is via android phones. The corporations don;t even want to sell servers to small business with a couple of hundred staff now either, it's fucking azure or whatever and even the payroll is a web portal. These companies don;t want the end user personal computer consumer anymore. They don;t care and they are not going to supply or support it or encourage it, hell they don;t even want to sell people games consoles, just more portal devices with cloud storage and charges and subsciptions.It's the same with fucking cars even. They don't want to sell a car, they want a subsciber who is effectively leasing a car.
>>108147944H-how?
>>108150731Cosmic levels of greed.
>>108148045To be completely fair, he isn't wrong. There is clearly a demand for CRTs and there are niche things they still do better than anything else. Not saying I'm lining up for one, but it is kind of peculiar.
>>108150711But whose fault is it? People online are very vocal about local computing but most normies love leases and subscriptions. The companies are simply meeting the demand.
>>108150678>Seriously, is there any realistic path to unfucking the hobbyist PC market, or is this just itHonestly it is over, how long it lingers? I'm still making and working on 8 bit computers that have not been sold since the 80s with other nerds. So probably forever but it will become nice. There are about 1.7 Billion computers in the wild and about 7.8 billion smartphones. Half of those computers are ancient, most of them are in cubicles in call centres and accounts departments etc. The actual private personal computer consumer is a spec of shit in the big picture. Eve n GAbe does not want to sell you a computer running linux, he wants to sell you something that's basically a launch XBone, that is cloud connected and a portal device. The internets a fucking wasteland of dead forums and sites because no keyboard on a phone. The normies communicate via pictures and short video clips taken on phones and 10-60 word titles. Every serach for a fix for something and now you find have the results are some retarded jeet wearing gloves with an AI voice on youtube reading a dell helpfile or some shit like that? And AI is incoming and jeetware has the money behind it. The people who make this shit, the nividias, the intels, the microsofts, they want to do nice clean business with each other based around datacentres, they don't want to deal with teh fucking public anymore other than getting their subsciptions. Shit like the next GTA or Skyrim or whatever is going to be ONLINE ONLY and designed to work on a portal device.
>>108150763>But whose fault is it? People online are very vocal about local computing but most normies love leases and subscriptions. The companies are simply meeting the demand.They buy what is marketed at them and is available to buy. Its not better, it is faster to open a file from a local lan or ssd than a remote datacentre and it's less secure because even to get to that datacentre it has to pass through fuck knows what and it's less private because now it's a trust relationship between you and everyone in that connection chain and the datacentre staff and the companies (good luck with that). It is only better in one way, it is easier to monetise.
>>108147944Tons of harddrives on Amazon to buy, it's just a little bit more than it used to be. Poor people don't even need large drives anyways, so I fail to see what the problem is. If you're unable to spend a couple hundred dollars on a harddrive, obviously you're not going to have a lot of data worth saving.
>>108150711Embrace the future.
>>108148024To be honest with you I remeber checking hundreds of CRTs in skips they took up a huge amout of space o desks and all that shit with some special ones needsing anti glare shiels and all that bollix and they were heavy to. You'd have lads trundeling them around on trollies. THere were good reason they bit the dust, they were reasonably rare in any size much over 19 inches as well. I'm saying all that while I have a 32 inch CRT for lightgun games ad a couple of 14 inch ones for fucking around with old OG 8 bits but there were good consumer orientated reasons to get rid of CRTs. THat's nothing like what we are getting now, the death of personal computing and the intrnet reduced down to a few thousand 'apps' fuck I hate that word.
>>108150841I have always done by own thing. I was big into the internet in 1994. Not so much now. Its already a fucking obscene mess of marketing, disinformation, scams and PR by both corporations and states and AI is only going to make that worse. It's fascinatiing as I'm hunting around for bits of old patches and stuff how many once thriving now dead spaces there are out there. Normies dumped stuff with keyboards and mice as soon as they could.
>>108148019It'll go back down, it's just a matter of time.
>Bought a bunch of 16TB drives over the summer for like $180 a pop for my NAS>They're now $330Kek I did alright
>>108149786Why not just buy the pads? I get it's probably due to your skin color, but what the fuck?
>>108148293>Office workMeanwhile in trade jobs everybody are hiring. Sometimes i read complaints about why infrastructure is falling, because nobody want enter to trades and there arent humanoid robots fixing the roads, highways, bridges, etc.
>>108149909Hoooooly shit AI retards are stupider than I thought
>>108147944>hoarded 128gb ram, 16tb in ssd and 48tb in hdd in septemberif you’re a tech nigga and didn’t stock up when it was obvious prices are about to get wonky then you’re tarded and deserve paying out the ass
>>108150929Nobody wants to ruin their bodies in shitass low paid blue collar work when they can earn more for fucking around on leddit in a comfy office with ACnow go clean my fucking toilet, paco
>>108147944Just in time for 2/8 of my 6TB drives to start failing...
>>108148026>>108148075>>108148062This particular AI model is really, *really* fuckin' bad. Needs way more training to produce believable bait.
If the future really is corpo monopolized AI then Butlerian Jihad can't come soon enough
>for proles: body positivity, bugs as food, taxes and compu— uhhh cheap smartphones>for rich fucks: glp-1, epstein island, privatized gains and socialized losseskek remember to take a second job so you can afford 32gb ram and rtx 3060 (6gb) re-release
>>108147944its ok, none of these people will have jobs soon anyways.same with the government. they keep fucking around and they won't have their jobs anymore.
>>108147944Ever since that damn OpenAI memory deal every company involved in AI has started buying as much as they can to prevent their competition from accessing that hardware. It's become a Cold War of denying competition what they need to expand. I honestly won't be surprised if everything WD supply their AI customers is going to sit in a warehouse for years too.
good thing I recently bought 2x 24TB HDDs to backup my pirated shit and other stuff
>>108148024>demanded products are not supplied in globohomo economies.Back o beermat maffs says you put in enough demand and I can supply it.So what is it you're wanting precisely?>>108148062>The Market does not make mistakesBut it does intentionally double down on long term stupid choices in the name of short term profits. Case in point, look at what "the market" did to the internet. Most of you are growin' to dislike it because of the directions you made the market pull it.Now tell me that wasn't a mistake.
>>108147944How much longer must we put up with this before people start dying?
>>108147944I predicted this
>>108151835Are you going to start killing people over pc hardware? No? Your life is worth too much and you're just going to keep your head down and hope someone else does something?Everyone else is thinking the same thing and that's why nothing will ever be done. If everything happened at once it might be different but these things are going to be rolled out gradually over the coming years and by the time you realize you should have done something sooner, it will be too late.
Amazon actually has drives in stock, but you can only buy 1 at a time unless you are a business customer.
>>108151956cmon man, you think its about pc parts ?
>>108148062>The Marketis not real. there is no such mystical force known as "the market" just a bunch of parasites gambling on the future prosperity of entire nations and gradually draining the people of wealth
