@raiderrobert@mastodon.social You are right, of course. But this also negatively affects you. Why can't you afford memory? Because companies buy all the DDR5 and SSD chips so that you can rent them because you can no longer afford them putting them into your computer.

@heinlenstein@social.vivaldi.net sure but that's literally indexing on a problem that's relatively new as in the past 6 months-ish Hardware like this has a 3-5 year lifespan-ish. Maybe a bit longer until the failure rate starts to stack up. I've been in this space for a while, and I don't recall a similar hardware crunch since literally the dotcom era...and I want to say it was specifically for network hardware then like switches.
