Will ram/ssd prices ever go down? is it truly over please whitepill me on this
>>108405533anime thread, DNI
>>108405538is this better
>>108405533no. even if AI becomes too expensive for the average person, businesses and governments will still need it and pay for it, so data centers arent going anywhere.
I'll wait.
>>108405543sure
>>108405533no, companies now know people are willing to pay those prices even if there is enough supply
>>108405533Change your mindset around this and you'll be happier. You don't NEED more, and you don't WANT more. You are fine with 16GB of RAM and your 1TB SSD. You enjoy using your computer, and it handles the tasks you set out to do on it comfortably. You are happy and you want for nothing. You eat some bacon and eggs, and drink some beer and enjoy life on your computer talking with your computer friends.
>>108405588Subhuman.
>>108405638i have 256gb m2 drive but 16gb ram and 1080gtx is it over for me in 2026?
When have things ever gotten better?
>>108405696>forgot green arrow award
>>108405755Its never over. The ride never ends. >Imagine not having a GPU at all.
>>108405544You're delusional if you think the future government would risk stomaching a massive layoff of office workers that are replacable by AI coupled with it's tendency to hallucinate data, the error rate is still massively higher and more consequential than that of human workers
>>108405828just like they abandoned aircraft because the first flight only lasted 30 seconds and was a bit flaky.AI is improving every day, wake the fuck up
>>108405755The 256 is rough. I wanted 2x4tb ssd and 64gb ram, to replace my 1tb and 32gb in my laptop. I bought one 4tb and planned to do the rest a couple months later. Well, you know what happened in that couple of months. I felt a bit hard done by, but in the end I still got a 'new' (old but unused) laptop with the 16gb 3080, 5tb of ssd, 32gb ram, for less than $1000usd all up. That was just before the price apocalypse, no one will get deals like that now.
No, and the only reason why you want RAM prices to do down is because the software you're using is so poorly written that it requires massive amounts of RAM in the first place, yet you never question the fucking software.Because you're a brainlet.
>>108405538can you go do this on the xitter screencap threads you gay nigger
>>108405868256 GB is plenty if you're not a gaymer. I have Linux on a 240 GB SSD and Win11 on a 256 GB SSD. I just recently salvaged a 1 TB HDD for media and SDXL checkpoints.
>>108405533Doesn't look like it, expect a new dark age in the coming years, start hording as much tech as possible.The war in Iran will compound with the RAM shortage, we won't get out of this mess that easily. Expect food shortages and riots within 4 months.
>>108406803
>>108405533It will go down for midtier/lowtier hardware
Blackpill me why virtually nobody repairs ram and ssd electronics when I've seen more people repair CPUs
>>108406803>>108406829At what point do we as a country decide it's worth the costs of making and having our own fabrication plants.For something made from sand, and used by the majority of the world, and now have the majority of the economy hostage.I know it's hard and expensive but is it worth it yet.
>>108406893Wait until the fabs in pissrael start getting bombed.This is the price we pay for being total slaves for god's chosen people.Hopefully this crisis will wake a lot of people up, the era of globalism, democracy and "our values" is coming to end and it will be ugly.Thankfully the US has an insane amount of resources and is bordered by two huge oceans, new fabs will come online, out of pure necessity but it will take time and a lot of kicking and screaming to birth them.
>>108406893What for? To re-enable incompetent developers?
>>108405533don't worry anon, chinese production is ramping up
>>108405863The invetion of the airfoil is not incremental diminishing returns scaling that isn't even possible in the first place without architectural change because of insufficient data
>>108405533If you want to be pessimistic around 2028 which is when the new fabs will be running. If you want to be optimistic around end of this year which is when the AI bubble crashes.
>>108405533Yes but they’ll anchor to 50% higher than they were a year ago (ram likely more, sd a bit less)why didn’t you hoard when the prices were low?
>>108405533Btw if you want to understand how this happened it's because HBM is stacked memory and that means it takes all of DDR space. It's not just because of AI demand.
>>108405533in two months just like the GPU's after Covid and Crypto bullshit
>>108405543this is cooler
>>108405828Your governments projection of the near future do not include you being alive.(mine neither)
>>108405533NO because the corprations that gave you personal computers don't want you using them anymore, they want you on cloud portal devices instead whether that's for media consumption, productivity, browsing, social media or gaming. It is too their advatage that the device used is as limited in capability for local storage and computing power as possible. You are running out of time to build your offline LAN which is where your storage and memory, ata and media and computing power should be, safely away from these governmental and corporate influences.
>>108410439Mine does, mine is elected and 99% of the assembly is from the same ethnic group and religious background as me, including some very smart and slippery characters I am glad are on my nations team. Sucks to be you living in dicatorslop. If you cared you would be on an offline LAN anyway.>>108405828Things change people loose jobs, entire professions vanish regularly, from typesetters to people who specialised in setam engines and making horse drawn carriages. There si nothing intrinscially valuable or interesting in professions connected with routine operational and accounting, management and legal professions and personally I view them as infinitely less interesting or worth preserving than people who were experts in vanished artisanal skillsets. They will have to find something else to do. There are shortages of carers, janitors, childminders etc etc. I won;t be shedding any tyears for the HR women, middle managers or legal PAs.
>>108405533No. We'll soon see most pc component stores shut down. Gskill will declare bankruptcy soon. Same with Kingston. Corsair will pivot to just elfarto shit for a while. It's all going to die. And so will you.
>>108409057He should have genocided the galeks. The last actual Dr. Who
>>108410439Why do faggots not grasp this? Politicians are part of the ruling class and extremely wealthy from the stock market and housing market. They will survive the eradication of most of the human race. We will not. Make the most of things while you can, bros.
>>108410272>>108405533I love Lum
>>108410537>Mine does,holy cope
>>108410537Grok answer.
No, it's only the beginning. With ai improving this fast, more and more people will use it and put it into everything.
>>108410617Good.The impeding energy crunch was already going to be bad enough, but if LLM and their hallucinations become load-bearing you can kiss our entire infrastructure goodbye - and I can't wait for it to all burn down.
>>108405533shortages are a signal that you can make a squillion dollars if you produce a thingthis increased supply and competition will bring the prices down
>>108405533if there be 2x4GB nice latency DDR5 people might buy some not even sure two sticks needed with DDR5
>>108405533Buy Apple tech, they have relatively reasonable RAM prices now.
>>108405533won't go down until retards realize udimm and rdimm are not the same nor are most desktop components applicable for datacenter scale processes.... truly a pathetic time to be alive, too many idiots hyperinflating the wrong commodity.
>>108411797It's not the dimm you stupid fucking faggot and walking embodiment of the Dunning-Kruger Redditor effect, retard, that's just a fucking pcb either with a registered clock chip or not — its the memory chips that matter and they are the same on rdimms and udimms. Now kill yourself. You're on fucking /g/. How fucking embarrassing.
>>108410561Hahaha no you defeatist cuck. What will actually happen is you'll kill yourself when the rate of change of the world gets overwhelming to you and sane humans will be just fine.
>>108405868The RETVRN of spinning rust is upon us.
>>108405533Currently the large companies are basically just throwing the bag of money around in a circle without anything consumers can do to influence their behavior.When (not if) the ai hype dies down and the industry finally comes to the conclusion that ai is not some infinite money glitch and won't make them gazillion dollars magically, prices should go back down too.The problem is that most big companies have started heavy attack to eradicate general computing devices themselves. Poettering and friends are currently trying to bring this fight to linux too. They want you to go subscription+streaming as well as TPM+device attestation and DRM (so you don't get to run and install critical software wherever you want), and not own anything. Obviously for those people the current high prices are a huge win.So we have to hope that they will be forced to go back to selling shit to us before they succeed with that.Another hope for us is unironically the chinks upping their game, but that is currently not very likely.
