      And the only reason you’re not banned from X is because Altman and Musk are competing for the same tech messiah title.

    I bought a new laptop with 16 GB of DDR5 (8 GB soldered and 8 GB socketed) as it was super cheap for an 8840HS, and was planning to buy a 48 GB SODIMM for 120€ but held off on it for multiple reasons, thinking “it can wait and I can make do with less memory for now”

    Yeah that 48 GB stick now costs 500€ which is just 50€ short of the entire laptop…

      This too shall pass - we can hope that now there is both a massive revenue opportunity in the server market as well as an abandoned consumer market ripe for the taking, some enterprising manufacturer is going to look into filling this niche. Probably someone out of China, or maybe even India if they can get their shit together in time.

    I saw 32GB of DDR4 RAM at best buy the other day for around 400 bucks. Which wasn’t adding up for me at all but ok

    I mean I would still wanna do that even if it reduced costs to like $300 for a fully spec’d dream system.

    Even if it cost me $300 per hit, if stop turn him into a vegetable. That’d be the best money ever spent.

      I appreciate the juxtaposition between your username and this comment wanting to beat one of the universe’s most useless life forms.

    Why hurting your own hands if you can use tools to make beating more efficient?

    Once you’ve been searching on the internet for a fact, you’ll never stop wanting to beat every AI tech bro to death with your bare hands.

    Recently upgraded my servers. 256GB ddr5 each. Was 1600 moneyz altogether. Now, not half a year later, the exact same ram is 6400 now.

    I bought twice the amount by accident and sent half of it back…for which I now bit my left nut off…could’ve been a free bunch of gaming PCs.

      My friend bought what he thought was 16GB ddr5 for $50, but turned out to be 10 sets for $500. Now they’re selling for about $250 each. Everything is insane!

      Oof, you lucky dog. Except the last part, but that’s just the difference between being just lucky and being really fucking lucky.

        Oh yeah lucky! I evened out fate, as I waited to finally buy my GPU at the absolute peak for an insanely outrageous price only to see it fall day by day since then.

        So, I’m kinda at zero (dis-)advantage now 😁
