Yeah but on the flip side Xbox storage addons are looking more reasonable than ever.

Casual 3x the price.
Not that you’d find many, if any, deals on the Apple store for third-party products, but that is insane.

Anything using memory modules has gone up in price since December, this is not an Apple only problem…

Memory prices are ‚off the charts‘. Listen to the analysis by Micron, Nvidia, etc. Memory is in very short supply right now. Hence – higher prices. Across the board.

Get a OWC thunderbolt enclosure with Samsung ssd, cheaper and works great.

Well yeah, I paid $160 each for 2 2TB SSDs last year
They are now $400+ apiece

‚Suddenly‘. They’ve obviously never priced an Apple product before and looked at all the storage (and RAM) variations.

This isn’t an Apple thing, they’ve gone up to that kind of price everywhere, they’re just adding Apple’s name for clickbait

Apple prices for *anything* are usually astronomical. A lot of their products are overpriced, aside from what is going on.

First of all do not buy these at any price they are highly prone to failure – just google it. I had a brand new one die on me few weeks back.

So, commercial LLMs are using all the power and water, hogging all the investment money that real businesses could use, causing shortages in everything tech related that are stifling whole industries, stealing a substantial amount of their training material, they cause severe mental illness and suicide, they’re hugely unreliable, are about as capable of producing factual output as the autocomplete on an old Nokia feature phone, and if they manage to do everything they claim they will, the upside is… total economic collapse when they make a third of people redundant, and the consumer economy collapses leaving nothing but businesses passing Monopoly money IOUs around in a circle while they wait for their next bailout (and that’s assuming the third of the population that’s been thrown on the scrap heap takes it lying down)?
Just ban the fucking things.
