I quit discord over this a long time ago. I am not coming back.

Same here!

If they get favorable deals that benefit them at everyone’s expense then it is what Adam Smith wanted. Otherwise it is communism.

You did, as a baby. That is sufficient.

I have 64gb of DDR5 RAM. But given the situation I would buy more even if I do not need it. 128gb won’t hurt.

And if they can make a clone of the Nvidia 5090 for half its cost I’d get that, too.

In 2024 I bought my dream machine just before this insanity happened. I am probably going to do my best to make it the final machine I buy…

Same thing, dude.

As long as the Chinese say ‘just for consumers only. Big corps and data centers can get their RAM elsewhere’.

Remember. What they are doing is the same thing that Rockefeller did to bankrupt his competitors. He didn’t make a better product. He simply made it impossible for them to function.

They abso-fucking-lutely would buy all the RAM they can at a loss and shred them to make sure we can’t get them. They just have to ask uncle Trump for more money at our expense.

Fuck me…

You magnificent bastard I read your book!
