    Oh, the known ram cartel is being a cartel?

    Not a lawyer but it seems likely to fail? The main argument seems to be that in a free market environment, one of the big manufacturers would have expanded consumer RAM production to fill the gap left by the others leaving that market, but that ignores the fact that they’re all making way more money just selling shit for data centers.

    Also, crime is legal now so I don’t see it mattering. Worst-case they’ll get a fine that doesn’t matter.

    Good, because they literally are.
