    It’s the crypto boom, when it isn’t, it’s AI.
    Wonder what bullshit it’ll be when I decide to buy my next upgrade. Maybe rare metal eating tape worms.

      And when it’s not AI, and not crypto, it’s a “sorry the rain kinda fucked up our DRAM factory, limited capacity for a year” or “sorry COVID kinda fucked up our resource pipelines, reduced capacity for a year”.

      There’s always an excuse to pump up the prices, and never a reason to lower them. I do hope DRAM manufacturers get bitten in the ass for it though, have the AI bubble pop, leaving them with a bunch of orders that can’t be fulfilled because the buyers no longer exist…
