Fuck

I’m glad I bought a new computer this year, but this fucking sucks.

And what this is going to do for non phone non SAAS software is going to be brutal.

It’s going to be thin clients and cloud only for a lot of people and small businesses now.

I'm glad I bought a spare SSD, can keep going if something bad happens. Even though my PC is kinda old rn, I don't really play AAA games so I should be good for another 2 years

Well fuck. Its looking closer and closer to what Collapse OS predicted. Chips are going to be too high in demand for us plebs.

Fucking great.

Nevermind that if you want a lot of storage in a ITX machine 2.5" sata drives is the only way to go. I've been wanting a second EVO 870 but the price is almost triple what I paid for the first one.

man I just bought a 500GB SATA SSD as a boot drive for something like 2 months ago, and even then it felt like things were a bit more expensive than they should be. I hate this current tech landscape

Time to go back to SATA 2.5”, wait, that’s what I use anyway. lol
