metroarea4 Memory shortage? 😡 More like memory theft. Corporate greed and a race to gobble up every resource necessary to try and be the first at achieving AGI. Willfully using their financial advantages and ability to bilk tax payers in the vicinity of their massive AI data centers. This in the form of the massive subsidies these companies bargain (strong arm) with in what they call “incentives” for the area. These are really just tax cuts for them. This ends up creating sharp increases in utility rates and eventually higher taxes for residents. Culminating in everyone being priced up and sometimes out of these resources or worse. The ability to afford living in that area. Yet again being priced out. This creates another dangerous parallel to something known as a growth Ponzi scheme that many municipalities are already facing.. This really needs to stop. I’m glad that people are catching on as people and municipalities are uniting in efforts to say no to these financial behemoths that are really just greedy bullies. Chandler and Tucson AZ, Caledonia, WI, and Prince George’s County MD. Perpetually being locked into a life as a subscription model. Another financial trap similar to credit where the only real benefactors are the ones building this system. Everyone else loses. Sorry for the rant but all of this really hits a nerve as a computer building, loving nerd that disagrees with this shift towards own nothing, forever fees, lease/rent apps, storage, computers and now processing power. Consumers are losing on all fronts IMO. Reply
Geef metroarea4 said: More like memory theft. Think of it like this: You own a sandwich business that is able to sell all the sandwiches you make. A rich guy comes along and says "Hey, let me buy 40% of all your sandwiches for the next 10 years. I'll pay more per sandwich than they are worth separate." This will mean less sandwiches for everyone else but more money for you overall. Everyone else is willing to pay more for whatever sandwiches are left and again, more money for you. Tough choice… 🤔 Reply

Consumers are losing on all fronts IMO. I do not think you are wrong. Trillion dollar corps go cap in hand to governments around the world begging for subsidies and tax cuts as well as the ability to build data centers. All the while claiming that the communities will benefit, which is a lie. I am done buying tech till this madness ends now. On AM5 now by a hair since i bought the DDR5 in early Nov. Also have a Am4 backup. Used AM4 for nearly 8 years so 8 years from today is when i can buy new hardware. Reply
MooreBreaker LOL. Everyone luv Free Market Capitalism until they realise they ain't got enough Capital.. LOL.. get rich or die trying, what can I say.. Stop expecting to get everything you want in life at a price you can afford. Then maybe you won't have to go to war with a certain Asian superpower with the power of boomerang tariffs and scary language Reply
