    Shocker, those who rely on the general purpose computer market get fucked by OpenAI cornering the market on silicon wafers to try to dig a moat where there isn’t one. Motherboards, HDDs, probably even cases, now monitors, all jacking up prices because the overall market is fucked by RAM / SSD prices and line must go up. You’ll have a phone and like it /s.

    Yeah, bit bitter because my usual strategy of staying a generation behind the edge backfired hard this time, and this was my PCIe 5 year, but still have a good PC that meets my needs, just waiting for sanity to return to the market.

    Still monitors don’t need much RAM, and it’s a way wider market, doubt this one will stick.
