I took the plunge last month and went with 32GB 6000MT/s DDR5 in a new system. 16GB VRAM card, too.

We'll see if this system will hold up for as long as my old pc did, which was 10 years.

I can't wait till these companies shutter their AI shit and that supply gets dumped back into the market

Knowing real life some other party will juice it and ride the ram shortage for another few years, just keeping the supply as a speculative income stream.

That’s fine, I’m over here eating popcorn, watching all the drama…..

Luckily I’m not likely to need any laptop, phone, tablet. game console, car, tv, etc any time soon. All my higher end devices are good for a few years until the bubble bursts.

That being said, my hobbies tend to be in low end devices. We know raspberry pi’s are now expensive and likely to get worse, but I wonder how it will effect the tiny bit of old technology memory in things like “smart switches” and sensors

All that means is that I'll start caring about something else. It's RAM, not food or shelter.

They are underestimating my willingness to run tiny systems. Say hello to Tiny Core Linux.

Running something meaningful on a $20 hardware is a pleasure like no other

Its a nice flex to be more productive on a potato than some are on the fancy stuff
