Crucial balistix was a good line of memory. At least kingston is here. Fckin greed.
teh sooner teh better!11
Pathetic
. Small business able to survive on existing hardware, as inventory changes in small scale is rare. For titans such as amazon, google etc. price increase is significant blow as they can’t slowdown. Small business can and should be prepared for events like this.
The brand will most likely be sold to China, where local Chinese will produce their hardware under this name.
If you decide to give up something, then sell it to China. They have a lot of money to buy everything.
Waiting for sellout. Hope SSDs getting cheap.
Hi,
thats the reason why we did not participate in BF this year and why some others did not too while yet other did but as it seems not with $_THIS great deals like we saw it in the past years.
And no worry, crucial is just the start. Either this "AI bubble" will finally pop as people will realize that LLM's wont make it to become a real general AI and remain just repeating bots
OR things will get much more worst for all hardware that requires chips. RAM and SSD are starting now and consumer focused brands will die / change to enterprise as they pay the real money. GPU will follow hard, especially since AMD stopped to develop further consumer GPU hardware. Samsung already announced the stop of production of DDR4 RAM this year ( the super cool fancy "AI" alias LLM-Bots datacenters dont want this old/slow stuff ) triggered the first wave of RAM price increases. And others will follow. They are all stock market companies and they wont use their limited production capacities for poor consumers if there are some nice rich hyper scalers around the corner for who money does ( currently ) not matter as investors give them a s**** load of risk capital to play around.
So IF you want this to stop, the best you can do is using all your idle machines to send non stop complex queries to all this nice LLM's so they burn even faster through this risk capital so that this all will collaps faster :-) ;P
OR if you dont want this to stop, then stop using AI at all and wait until the whole market ( i wonder what hetzner & Co. will actually do after some months of this pricings, their stock hardware cant last for ever ) will go up and you can sell your idler's for big money $_$
OMG, what the F....
Not crucial for future profits
