ram prices will never come down even after the shortages

once people pay 200% more for a stick of ram, companies will make 175% the new normal (TM).

You can't DIY the only important part of a RAM stick: the DRAM chips. Like, you can make your own PCB, congrats, but that really doesn't matter if you don't have the chips.

This is why private energy companies in the US are refusing contracts from OAI/Google/Microjew/Musk to build a zillion billion power stations, because they correctly predict that by the time they come online in a decade, this insane demand won't exist and they'll be holding the bag. T

what covid did was double or triple the monetary fiat all around the world and basically having a "everything bubble" and the biggest transfer in human history of the poor to the wealthy.
The problem is we are reaching critical mass and people are not buying new shit... look at the videogame, car and luxury stuff sales in US and around the world.

Eventually shit will balance itself, but it will take like a decade or so.

>>729375137
No, they won't. Once saturation reaches max, the prices will stabilize around the upper end. There won't be a race to the bottom until it becomes stupidly easy to make chips and ram. You have no fucking idea what you're saying. It will never come down in price until a regular person can grow silicon chips in their back yard. Just paying staff a basic living wage will keep prices at a certain level.

>>729374824
I'd prefer a solar flare that wipes out all electronics in space and on earth.

Most people are utterly irrelevant to the absolute estate that the economy is in. The top 10% contribute more in public consumption than the bottom 90% now, that's how bad it has gotten, that's why there's a shortage of everything yet you see "luxury" industries popping up everywhere, it's to appeal to the top that actually has money now. And even then, customer consumption is dwarfed by capital expenditure, in the US this year there was way more money in speculative AI slop investment and debt than every actual product and service paid for by real people, all of them, combined. It's fucked.

*G*DDR operates in a very different way than regular DDR and you will definitely fuck up the GPU doing that. That said, there is a group, again in Russia, that does exactly that with GDDR and Nvidia GPUs. Their first one was a 22GB 2080Ti, but they've also done a 20GB 3080 and a 16GB 3070TI.

It already does. Owning a home is increasingly a fantasy, a relic of a by-gone era. Hardware as a service is already surprisingly popular among AI jeets and poor zoomers. Rental cars have been a thing for a long time, but driving is a hassle so what's more popular than that are services like uber, which is further reinforced since businesses insist that people work in-office for things that could easily be done from home. It's million-headed hydra devouring its million tails, destroying itself to sustain itself.

And remember, hope is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man. Nothing will ever get better until life is made unbearable for those who hold the money.

>>729368452
Sourcing the components that are actually experiencing the shortage and price markup is going to save you like 20% compared to purchasing a 200% markup brand product with a warranty. You also have to buy these components in massive bulk orders, a factory won't ship you a crate of 10 microchips. So you can't just make 1 ram stick for yourself and see a price reduction, you'll need assemble a bunch and hope people want to buy them from you, or do some kind of community crowdfunding thing where you find 100 guys that want in on this operation to begin with so you can all split the cost of the bulk order.

Stopped reading there. They are getting aid. If you think for a second that they are getting anything close to the full might of other yuro nations, let alone AMERICA, you are completely retarded.

Oh my bad, I forgot that the M1A1 Abrams is completely worthless compared to the M1A2 model so it's like they were giving them scraps, totalling a measly 130Bn. Thankfully, the US taxpayer will foot the bill

So is the T90, or the Pantsir, or the TOS-1. Doesn't make them worthless, does it. The M1A2 is from the 90s too.

>>729409438
it makes way more sense from the approach that these guys are basically your drunken meat-head uncle who only drinks coors light and takes even mild disagreement as a threat against his own masculinity. you will find the "average uncle" is even touchier and more insecure in his self-image and his place in the world than a teenaged girl, and these guys who believe themselves iron-fisted dictators are average uncles who stumbled into a specific chair over time

You know, I never really noticed this.
It really is true all the tech companies that aren't directly involved in the AI circle investing aren't expanding, despite the demand AI has created for their product.

>>729383942
The biggest roadblock for datacenter expansion right now is apparently that there is not enough energy on the grid.
Microsoft was bragging earlier that they are sitting on a shit load of servers they can't turn on because the grid isn't strong enough.

>>729409782
>you will find the "average uncle" is even touchier and more insecure in his self-image and his place in the world than a teenaged girl
Nah, teen girls are coddled by social media echo chambers even harder than retard uncles, AND they are full of retard juice hormones. Theyre worse. Everything else you said was correct though

>>729410610

so are uncles, they've either got too much or too little testosterone and they have piss american beer in their veins

If random fuckface burns out their own computer no one cares. If a corporation does it its a lawsuit. Then there is also the fact that this likely wont last very long so why invest in something that is tertiary to your interests but has a huge start up cost.

You can throw together a RAM factory in a few months and start mass producing, making RAM in itself is piss easy.
Graphics card monopolies work because you need shitloads of know how and complex pre-prdocust to make them, but all it takes to make immense qauntities of cheap RAM is a rich chink with a nose for buiness.

>>729375170
>and suppliers wont spin up more factories

then someone else will do it. Those suppliers dominated the market through being highly efficient and therefore being able to offer competitive prices while maintaining their margins, as they have destroyed their advantage this opens the market up for others.
Unless the AI bubble pops so fast it becomes not worth it, in which cases RAM wil return to normal prices.

In all fairness this shit transcends muh left and muh right.
No matter who is in charge, coporations and billionaires get frivolous amounts of welfare paid out to them, even the most absurd speculation and most obvious fuckup are directly ensured by the taxpayer.
The guy who used your money to literally bail out a bunch of failed real estate gamblers was Obama, now you get the same shit with a different talking head on top.
