Honestly, I can’t say that I fully understand economics at scale, but I guess that when a buyer big enough goes to a manufacturer and books a big chunk of their capacity for a year or two ahead, the manufacturer has to take that deal. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are a lot of off-the-books arrangements along with that. It sounds logical, but yeah, feels big time unfair to the end user.

I hate myself for not upgrading before the shortage. I was like “yeah, I can do another year or two with what I have”, partly not wanting to buy new things just because, partly cautious of the AM5 motherboard/CPU failures here and there. It’s wild to think that less than 500 EUR/USD used to buy a 96 gig memory kit.

Yeah, but what led to that shortage, jackass?

Wow, that quote is pure gold.
