RAM-related price hikes are about to hit a bunch more devices.
The ram cartel produces exactly enough ram to keep prices stable, increased demand means the produced supply is not sufficient so prices rise
This is not a capacity issue, it’s forced scarcity and collusion laid bare
OpenAI put in an order for 40% of RAM supply at two of the three companies that make RAM.
This is most certainly a supply/demand issue.

RAM isn’t ruining shit. AI using up the consumer supply and driving up the price of RAM is ruining everything.
