    TL:DW;

    Mr. Nexus still thinks its news that, under capitalism, production of luxury goods will always be sold to the highest bidder and not “the masses”

    I didn’t watch it either. But its about Micron no longer selling consumer ram in favor of the AI industry customer.

      So there’s three companies that make almost all the DRAM and they’re now all ramping down production of consumer RAM.

      They’ve also done price fixing in the past.

      I don’t think much math needs to be done.

        Well I mean the 3 DRAM manufacturers that matter all made the decision to ramp down consumer RAM manufacturing. OpenAI alone is buying up 40% of all global DRAM production.

        Given all the financial fuckery going on with OpenAI and the AI and hardware industries in general, I’m pretty sure this is intentional price fixing.
