I’m so glad my mobo died last year so I got new one with new DDR5 ram before this happened. It’s like a good example for bad things not always being so bad after all.
From drastic oversupply to drastic undersupply in like a year.
Just looked into the ram I got last year. From about $200 when I got it to $750 now
Surprisingly the ram I bough earlier this year only went up from $670 to 1000. What a bargain!
I didn’t realize it had gotten that bad. I bought 2x16gb DDR4 RAM in 2021 for $204 CAD. I bought the identical set for $69 in 2024. The same set (this is all on Newegg) today is $279. That is insane!
I know, I just wanted to setup a homelab, but with these prices…
My homelab rulns on DDR3, lol. Yay spare parts computers.
Same but I upgraded to 4x8 a while ago so I have 4x4 just sitting here and it’s worth like 20 western money units (pick a currency, doesn’t really matter)
The ram I bought about a month ago has gone up
$200$300-$400 depending on where you buy it.Yup, the 32GB DDR5 G.Skill i bought at the end of 2023 was $109USD, its equivalent now is $370. Holy shitsnacks.
I paid like $60 for 32GB last year. Prices now look like a huge rip off.
Does this mean app devs will finally stop using electron and related to build the world’s least efficient UI?
I can always hope!
This is my hope. There are so many cross-platform GUI toolkits out there that are orders of magnitude more efficient than electron and nobody uses them. It’s not like GTK and Qt are difficult to learn. In fact, I find them easier to wrap my head around than a lot of the JS nonsense out there.
No, it means they will use LLMs (AGI™) to rewrite new electron apps from the ground up with exciting new breaking changes each release. You will have to schedule hardware updates at a yearly bases if you want to make use of your software subscription. Luckily, they will offer a hardware subscription which only costs twice as much as it should, it will come with insurance which will never be redeemable for the low cost of $30 a month.
