    Hard drives. I have a movie hobby and that takes a lot of storage and well, storage now is 3-5 times more expensive than not two years ago and I can’t afford it anymore.

    But on the flip side, people can now finally nudify my daughter, so that is totally worth it!

    Fuck everything about AI.

      I am waiting patiently for the AI bubble to pop so that all of a sudden there’s an excess supply of ram, gpu’s, drives, etc.

            There’s nothing to see. Those datacenters run specialized server hardware. If the AI bubble bursts, they’ll likely just be sold to another hosting/saas company as is.

            Even if the hardware gets back into the market, it’s not consumer hardware. There will be no Ryzens and RTXs flooding the market, but Epyc/Xeons, Reg ECC RAM and videoless GPGPUs.

      I just had to buy a replacement surveillance 8tb drive for my store, best price I could find was $380. I have to buy it, no option there. But shiiiit that sucked.
