Tech giants like Bezos think having a personal computer to game on is going to ho away, and people will just rent computing power from AWS to run their games on.
What do you all think?

The amount of people on Reddit saying this is the end of the personal computer glossing over that businesses probably make up the bigger part of the market and all need hard drives and RAM.

Need some sort of regulation of tech giants won’t play nice.
If not there will be nothing left for consumers.

I feel like „blame“ isnt even the right word. Like you don’t „blame“ gravity for why something fell, that’s just the reason.

There was a 12tb Seagate Ironwolf (I wanna say it was the Pro version but I don’t remember) for $212 during last June’s Prime Day. Major regret not buying that then.

Tough for SLED market right now. PC prices are going up week to week, faster than many SLED customers can convert quotes to purchase orders. Unpleasant conversations up and down the line from customer to reseller to manufacturer.
Not great!
Still, I welcome our AI overlords.

This is all on the companies selling the hardware. Theyre the ones accepting deals they know they cant meet. Im starting to blame the AI companies a little less in this because when you have billions to invest of course you’ll take whatever your offered. Now if nvidia had an ounce of loyalty towards customers this would have never happened and we should remember this betrayal.

I’ll still build my own NAS even if I have to buy second hand stuff.

What does that mean? I see plenty of drives on Amazon.

This headline needs some work. “AI is the cause of a hard drive shortage this year.@

The headline on the article page reads “Hard drives already sold out for this year – AI to blame”, maybe it changed since posting but the implications here are very different.
“AI blamed again” implies it’s from critics or potentially anyone else, when in reality it’s the industry citing AI as the problem.

The future sucks. Thin clients sucks. I’ve got a work laptop connected to a remote local server and it is abysmal, even for office productivity applications. Imagining running my home computer hobby this way gives me nightmares.

I still see hard drives on Amazon for normal prices

As a network engineer, all of our prices this month jumped up 20% because of memory and CPU hikes at the supply chain level all because of AI data centers and big tech bros. We’ve been told by almost every vendor to expect those prices to go up by 200% over the next 6 to 9 months, except for Cisco. Cisco has told us that they will not honor any quote that is older that ’45 days to ship time‘.
We asked what the hell ’45 days to ship time‘ means. They said if the hardware is ordered and it’s in process for more than 45 days, they reserve the right to either cancel the order or change the price.

I just unretired my 12TB HGST spinner and paired it with 10TB of SSD across 4 nvme and 2 Sata.

When laptops and desktops sales decrease in 2026, the industry will wake up. Because the devs that are developing all your leading generative ai platforms need properly functioning desktops and laptops. And in this rat race academia and the gig economy faulters.

At this point I just hate AI, everything to do with it can just get fucked.
