>even magnetic tape going up in pricethey're really dead set on making sure we never own our own data ever again

They always have multiple objectives. The endgame here is to sell you cloud compute to do anything useful on a computer while ruling over you with omniscient and omnipotent AI systems, and you'll let them.
>optical storage demand has increasedSony closed their Blu-ray Disc factory at precisely the wrong time kek
>>109615423I don’t see the problem. Ai is helping us building incredible stuff so i think it’s worth it for hardware prices to go up because datacenters need those resources. This is good
>>109615423are data centers also paying x5 for ram and storage? I don't get it how are they fine with that.
>>109617343With Pioneer and LG having closed their Blu-Ray drive factories, I have no idea where the ‘Verbatim’ drives (only ones I can still find) are coming from.
>>109616658no u let them, unless you're part of them and just falseflagging
>>109615423All this was known in october, when prices were up 10% rather than 100-400%. Why didn’t gtards stock up? I added 92gb ram, 12tb ssd and 40tb hdd storage to my setup because the trajectory was clear. Every tech normie outlet was telling you that shit’s about to moon. What did you wait for? Mr goldberg to go broke and not buy the hardware?
>tape storagei wonder how difficult it would be to abuse vhs to store data, and what practical data density would be on, say, an el-cheapo fuji hq120. they claim to store 6 hours of EP, 4 hours of LP, or 2 hours of SP. i dont think there would be anything inherent to the tape itself that would limit the physical layout of data on the tape (like how hi-fi audio works), but rather that would be a property of the read/write head and the firmware driving it. surely i should be able to buy some cheap vcr and hook up my own microcontroller to it and just write arbitrary data to the tape, right? id obviously want error correction which would eat up some capacity, but what kind of capacity might i expect in KB/MB/GB per foot of tape? i cant immediately find a decent reference on the actual size of the striped video data tracks, so i cant napkin math this without looking some more.
>>109617343From their perspective, exactly the right time!

>>109615423Why is this such a big deal anyway, right now i can buy an asus laptop for the same price i bought one 7 years ago, but it would be 3x as fast. Mine can already run almost everything aside from the fattest aaa slop
>>109617785no shit. i knew people used old 8tracks on their commodores and z80s to stream binaries, but thats cool as fuck. i bet a usb version of this would sell at least a couple hundred units.
>>109617394I think eventually supply will increase one way or another. I'd guess sometime '28 when prices will come down. It's not a long-term problem.
>>109617394Because they get funded with infinite money from geopolitically obsessed governments terrified that there might be some big payoff to ai that another country might get that you don'tthe fuck do they care how much it costs the taxpayer
>>109615423and all of this to make Disney porn
jews really are making it hard for me to tolerate them
