Why won't Trump do anything about the high RAM and processor prices? I finally got a small raise and wanted to buy my kids computers this year to get them involved in STEM, autocad, 3d printing, and other skills that they can use to help their country in the future and I can't even afford to buy it for them in Trump's economy? I thought Trump was supposed to be making America Great, all he's done is Make America Expensive Again. When is Trump going to punish Samsung and all the other RAM manufacturers for having the capability to restart old foundries and make more chips, but not doing so in order to keep the prices inflated?

get em ipads. they do everything a computer does.

Trump is a steamie cubesnoy that is supporting the AI bubble to destroy the consumer hardware market so everyone is forced to buy a gabecube

Just tell them that part of based and redpilled is maintaining a completely unregulated and nonsensical AI corporatocracy. Some pain now is a small price to pay for severe pain when the bubble pops.
People literally voted for this.

Trump is literally the reason why ram exploded in price. Dumped an absurd amount of money into ai so now manufacturers make way more money NOT selling to the American people.
Gotta keep that bubble going like a game of hot potato

hello falseflagging leftist
companies are allowed to set whatever price they want to for their goods
the president has no control over this
hope you enjoyed your civics lesson

One thing I know for sure is that they will make custom pc builds illegal. After the video cards now RAM is insanely expensive. You will only be able to get your Amazon pre built gaming pc. All the hardware will be linked to your digital ID. There is no escape. I suggest not selling your old pc hardware. Even that is useless I guess. The internet won't be accessible without digital ID soon.

anyone who wants you to buy expensive gear just wants to use you as part of their botnet for cheap

>>523224579
you don't need 64GB of RAM for that, just don't buy it and prices are going down eventually

Just buy a Steam Deck and turn it into a computer

You don't need all that ram. You need 8gbs that's about it. Your kids are running multiple VMs at the same time? Are they going to be running a Large website on their personal PC? Unless I am mistaken 4gb should run windows or Linux just fine. 8GB is ideal if you are running VMs. If you want to game get a new Xbox.

Even if RAM prices were good you shouldn't be buying a kid something that costs >1000 dollars for Christmas. Even if you're well to do. That's just turning your kid into a spoiled brat.

It's still cheap retard. RAM 30 years ago was much more expensive

Not Trumps fault

By used RAM, you can replace it when the bubble pops, hardware is a bubble

You voted for it.

Remember? You wanted slave labor in china to make your slop?

>>523224579
Why don't you pay half that price for chips that don't have light up shit on them?

Tuscaloosa, Alabama here, born at DCH, raised on boiled peanuts and bass boats. I’ve got a rebel flag flappin’ off my F-350 with 2 ARs in the back window, and I’ve been rollin’ coal down McFarland since high school. My great-grandpappy was grand wizard of the local Klan chapter; we bleed BBQ sauce and diesel.

But now your Imported Male Pelvic Therapeutic Apparatus Levy slapped $87.54 on the medical-grade prostate massager I ordered. Government’s got no business taxing a man’s personal wellness gear. We didn’t wave the flag, burn the tires, and shout “drain the swamp” just to get fleeced by the Mango Mussolini tariff scheme.

If a patriot can’t import his own comfort device without getting shaken down, what exactly were we fighting for?

He is doing something, he's doubling the price of everything with his tariff plans.

Hardware prices will never come down in a meaningful way. If you have a top tier rig right now (5090, 9800x3d or 9950x3d, 64 GB DDR5, etc.), it’s going to be worth literally ten of thousands within a couple years. They want everyone streaming from GeForce now (and future equivalent services) which will make high powered rigs redundant (except for their parts-value in data centers). Literally buying a good rig right now is an insane investment.

Anyone who says you can't just buy and use DDR4 is fucking hilarious. I have 128gb of DDR4 and run games wonderfully. I can play Arc Raiders, have Youtube playing, and another screen with 90+ tabs on my browser without any delay or loading.

Buy them a laptop from Walmart, if they want a desktop pc to be like their favorite YouTubers and twitch streamers, then make your kids work at Walmart.

You could've got 64gb ddr5 6000mhz cl30 ram for $420 AUD during black friday sales. You get everything you deserve.

>>523225706
16gb is no longer enough for gaming and Dell needs 32gb modules to put a single ram stick into machines that dont perform to spec when you do that.
>>
>>523226283
64 gigs is hardly huge in year of our Lord 2025.93
Ram kits for desktops go up to 128gb now. 16 gigs is no longer enough for gaming and 64 is a comfortable minimum for productivity. And skies the limit for running llms

This is a play by all the major computer companies to effectively end any kind of open platform systems globally. The need to control information is so great that they're crashing the component industry so that there can't be a great migration away from microsoft or apple to linux. Gamers don't want to stay in the ecosystem, so the entire physical existence of personal computing is ending. Soon it's phones only, and when that happens the main players will ban alternative web browsers and apps. You'll see what you're supposed to, and nobody will have access to free information ever again.
