    1. the real question is:Will they go back being cheaper once the bubble burst, or it will be like everything else,rising and almost never going down price wise?

    2. I expect cost increases and usability decreases, paying more subscription fees for less capability.

    3. And what are we supposed to do 5 years from now? Fuck these greedy ghouls.

      Maybe the truth is that we don’t really *need* new electronics for the majority of things we do. I put Linux on a 12 year old Surface Pro and the thing flies. I’m using a dang Pixel 6a and it does everything a phone needs to do.

      If these corporations don’t want me buying new shit then that’s just fine. I’m not going to be ripped off and will simply use what I have or buy older used hardware if something breaks until this shit changes.

    5. I had a precognition, that’s why I pulled the trigger on a new MBP 14 M5 Pro 18c 64GB 2TB

      I don’t think the high RAM prices are gonna last long, it effects everything there is either going to be a ramp up in production or a crack down on data centers

    7. Charge data centers a premium. Leave consumers alone and go crazy on data centers.

      I expect a recession later this year so there should be decent bargains in a few months. Also the sooner you buy a new computer the sooner it becomes obsolete.

      HELIUM IS A BIG DEAL AND 30% OF IT IS IN QATAR

      You need helium to make semiconductors, you need semiconductors to make chips, you need chips to make computers, smartphones, gaming systems, etc.

      Losing 30% of global helium will impact our lives in a variety of ways, including lifesaving healthcare like MRIs and *surgery*. This is gonna hurt your wallet, your health, and your job if that helium gets taken out.

      And computers are getting more expensive because of what this article is about, too.

      I can wait as long as needed. My current computer dies, and I’d go back to an 8 GB RAM machine with integrated graphics. Companies can keep squeezing, but I will gladly go touch grass instead.

    12. As if the real crisis here will be individual consumer laptops and not the ones being mass purchased for white collar businesses and schools. I don’t think people realize the mass chaos that’ll create…

      Blame the rich for hoarding. People were mad at toilet hoarders but no one is stopping the rich assholes from buying out all computer parts.
