Re: Are we seeing the beginning of the end of PC
It's not going to make things cheaper, in fact it's going to make stuff more expensive, but the big 3 memory manufacturers have been hit with a class action lawsuit in America.

The only company that might have to do something is Micron as they are an American company, Samsung and SK Hynix are both South Korean companies so won't have to do jack about it.

So get ready for another nail in the coffin of pc usage, upgrading and ownership.

I hope the AI bubble bursts hard for some of these big tech companies.
I paid £269 for my Corsair ram (almost this kit), it's not made anymore by the looks of it, but that when I checked it last, it was over £1300 for the same kit.

Still people have got to be able to make their stupid videos and companies need to be able to replace their workforce to save money, like Microslop with their "30+% of windows code is now created by Ai but that's not why bugs have increased".
