This needs to be illegal and companies severely punished for doing this.
>>108939890>narrowly avoided the ram shortage Lucky ass
you don't need that much RAM.
>>108939890i sort of want 32gb ram but i have 16gb and its never been a problem. 400 is no issue. i don't know that i'd really see much performance increase though
>>108939890>400 goybux for only 32gbhow did we get here
>>108939890> This needs to be illegal and companies severely punished for doing this.>Supply and demand needs to be illegal b-because I need to play muh bing bing wahooShut up commie
>>108939923Can it, Moshe.
>>108940007you tell that goy!
>>108939890>RAM supply is in fact fine>This is just cartel doing cartel shit
>>108940007I can smell the circumcision radiating from this post.
>>108939935I can barely function with 32gb
The supply is so "limited" that every retailer is fully stocked with 50 different types of memory SKUs and there's zero issue getting it if you pay the tax. But its supply and demand and not artificial at all guys, I promise!
>>108940050I don't think anyone is retarded enough to be buying ram right now. Pretty sure most people are just buying laptops or sticking with their old machines until the cartel stops being fags.
>>108939890Get a load of this goy.>Waaah waaah, we need collective bargaining for muh wages.>Companies finally engage in collectively bargaining, but also with their products.>NOOOO, not like this!!
>>108940087>Companies finally engage in collectively bargainingThat one is not legal LMAO
>>108940007No. The government's role should be to tard-wrangle corporations or just destroy them when they get too evil. We used to have this thing called anti-trust. Ford Vs. Dodge needs to be repealed.
>>108939923>32gbyou're right, you need much more
>>108939890blame AI and trump for not doing anything to regulate it
>>108940152you want to give the government who is largely run by crooks and pedos more control over things? Delusional, IP law is the reason we're in this mess to begin with.
>>108940474Trump's buddies are the ones getting rich off it. He isn't gonna do shit.
>>108939890>punished
>>108940152>Ford Vs. DodgeMeme.
>>108940050Everyone is taking the piss.When it comes to actual fucking shortages it means it's flat out not in the shelf.Yet so called "shortages" in the PC market mean everything is available at 4x the price.Even the few times there was ACTUAL shortages of stock of say GPUs, prices never went as retarded as RAM is right now.
>>108939890
>>108939890>buy ram>complain that it doesn't work>return counterfeits for a refundwhy are people so afraid of beating the jew and its own game?
>>108939890But anon, it's a price worth paying for the enormous advance to society that is artificial intelligence
>>108939923not renting your compute altman
>>108939890>>108939911If you can't buy computer hardware, buy physical silver coins instead.Everyone buying up all the silver means they can't make new hardware anymore, even for the datacenters.
>>108939890passing the component costs to the consumer should not be illegalwhat should have been prevented is a market where only 3 companies in the world can play ball
>>108941251Lmao I just asked chatgpt and it gave me this... Embarrasing
>>108939890I blame boomers.
>>108941825Yea but thats not how capitalism works.
>>108939890a 1TB nvme drive I bought a year ago is now 2x the pricea hot air station i bought for $125 half a year ago is now $200
>>108941251>>108941881pwned by Grok.
>>108939890>Keynesian Economics should be illegalYou're right! Lets make water and oxygen illegal too while we're at it. Dope.
>supply and demandOk why is nobody opening factories to produce RAM sticks and satisfy the demand thus lowering the price again as (((capitalism))) said it should?
>>108941948Yasss keep sucking that circumcised cock, goyim. Slurp slurp!
>>108939890Let's get to the root of the problem.This state of affairs is the direct result of jews building an AI panopticon. "Companies" don't need to be punished for this. Their owners, their CEOs, and their Boards of Directors (jews and their paid and compromised pets) need to be held criminally liable for aiding a terrorist state (*srael) in spying on every other country in the world. And their paid politicians should be tried for treason.
>>108940152We had anti-trust before and after Dodge vs Ford. That was in the 1910s, we had a strong anti-trust regime up to the 70s when Robert Bork made it uncool and we started down the path we are on today. Also Dodge vs Ford is a legal decsion, not a law. It cannot be repealed, but Congress can make new laws that make it irrelevant. Or the legal precedent can be eaten away by later decisions, or even overturned. Those require getting judges on your side, which usually means infiltrating law schools. That's happening, but slowly. Congesscritters can be voted out more quickly, but you need people to replace them, which means playing party politics. This can also be done, the rank-and-file of the parties fucking the the leadership, but it takes organization. Things can be changed, you just have to stop posting and get involved. And learn the rules. Dumping Civics class was a mstake
>>108939890Life is suffering
>>108941176How did they teach him to do that?
>>108941615That's a bit silly.I bought Samsung and SK Hynix stocks and made €15.000 so far.Might one day be able to trade them in for a whole gaming PC.
>>108941966>why is nobody opening factories to produce RAM sticksBecause anyone trained in making RAM rather goes on months long strikes to up their $300K bonus to $500K.
>>108941966I think china will probably bootstrap at least a couple more companies capable of making memory. Though it really shows how reliant we are on such a small pool of companies. Unfortunately the US and EU are pro-monopoly otherwise they would probably encourage more competition in the sector.
>bought this for like 170 quid last summer>check amazonjust
>>108942606>I think china will probably bootstrap at least a couple more companies capable of making memory.I doubt they will spawn more companies bus the largest Chinese RAM maker, CXMT, is about to go public which should give them loads of money to invest in new fabs.Problem is RAM is a pork cycle and by the time new fabs are online RAM prices will likely have crashed.
>>108939923I have maxed out my 64GB multiple times. I wish I had gotten 128GB.
>>108939890You violent communist terrorist, the army will seize you and they are right to do it. The billionaires MUST be protected from your vile rhetoric.
>>108939890I'm still on DDR3 but people are inflating prices for this shit too because of this supposed shortage.
>>108942579This is not about making money, this is about denying them any hardware if we don't get cheap hardware.
>>108940050it's not the RAM that's expensive, it's the USD that is worthless
>>108940152none of those corporations is even american even if you disregard your commie retardation
>>108939890I paid 235€ for a RAM kit that now sells for 1200€ at Mindfuckery.Feels good to know the right time to buy shit.
>>108944328I wonder how many higher capacity they are making tor consumers, or if they are targeting 8/12/16 modules mainly.
>>108940031t. dickcheese caveman
No one needs more than 6GB of RAM. Even 4GB is enough (ever heard of swap, retard?) OSs (e.g. GNU+Linux, the only choice) are good at managing memory.>oh I'm running AI models I'm totally pwning big AI corporations!pathetic>oh I'm a video editor I need it!Your video is shit and not worth your time to edit nor anyone's time to watch>oh I'm a gaymer!definitely, truly patheticYou can argue, but I am right, so it would be a waste of everyone's time.
>>108939923not everybody is a boomer who only browse facebook
>>108944650I don't think you can even compile firefox on 8GB of RAM. Have fun thrashing your SSD to an early death I guess.
>>108944650>linuxyou didnt have to tell us that you do nothing productive with your computer
>>108941251Trillions of dollars for this.I love how stupid Americans are.
>>108940152When the government boosts the money supply, the value of each dollar goes down. The real price of the product isn't going up, YOUR MONEY IS JUST WORTH LESS.
>>108942814can i ask what you do that consumes so much ram?
>>108940050Stop noticing the cabal antics.
>>108945218>inflation +4%>ram prices +400%>"The real price of the product isn't going up"
>>108944650>ever heard of swap, retard?>this nigga didn't look at SSD priceskeklellmao
You mad goy?You wanna use the latest computing tech?Sing up for a cloud subscription from Google, or Microsoft, or Amazon, or OpenAI who cares lol.Stupid goy pay upfront for an year I'll give you a 10 percent discount lmao
>>108941251Jeetmini... I kneel.
>>108944442They're not making any more ram than normal. The fabs know it's a bubble, so they're just letting AI buy up production(or put a hold on it), because it means they get a huge influx of cash and when they 'lower' prices to 2x what they were six years ago consumers will shit bricks to get some.The companies even admitted this in earnings calls
>>108939890I bought 32GB DDR4 for one of my NUCs, 64GB DDR4 for my other NUC, and 32GB DDR3 for my laptop all before the price went up. Sux 2b u. I also have a 8 16GB DDR3 DIMMs sitting around collecting dust because I don't have a motherboard to put them in (used to be in my ivy bridge HEDT build but the shitty motherboard crapped itself)
>>108939890>capitalism needs to be made illegalholy based
>>108945618There are new fabs and expansions to existing fabs under construction. The problem is they take years to come online.
The 96gb kit I boughted last year costs well over a grand now and now I see it's sold out too, someone is still buying at these prices geg
>>108945618Disclaimer. AI isn't a bubble it's an invaluable technology that will only grow in value and is essential for modern lifeDatacenter might be a bubble, too many third party groups are jumping on datacenter as a goldrush in order to sell compute back to AI companies.
>>108945207why are your countrymen dumber?
You want price caps on memory? That will work out well.
>>108939923People who complain about DDR5 prices unironically want to host LLMs locally lmao. They're basically competing with trillion dollar companies for the chips. The real crime is those jeets at Meta and xAI wasting all those compute on garbage. This is the time where the boomer "think of the starving children in Africa and finish your food" analogy makes sense.
