nameless0ne Just came here to vent regarding RAM prices… That article description felt personal. Reply
Shiznizzle So this is how planes are being made to get money from AI. I know that AI does wonders in the medical field cutting down research by years but that does not deliver money directly. So far all we have seen is that the money goes in circles, with one AI company being paid by others who are their suppliers who in return buy their stock. The money is just going in circles and everybody is happy while consumers pay out of the rear for electricity and on silicone. 8 TB M2 for over 2300 dollars? That was not even 600 or at the most 800 not so long ago. We need to stop buying tech Reply

We need to stop buying tech Agree, prices are so high that i am done buying & paying for outrageous tech.

SonoraTechnical the money grabbing by the technocrats is unbelievable. that's it… I'm moving to Ruby Ridge Idaho as soon as I convince the wife. j/k . in all seriousness… truly an outrageously expensive solution desperately looking for a non existent problem (non-existent problem translates as opportunity to prey on fools). if people buy this… they only have themselves to blame. i won't condemn the technocrats greed, nor defend the end users stupidity. this is just one of the most useless things I've ever seen introduced in the tech space.

SkyBill40 Damn. And here we thought that microtransactions in game were a nuisance. Dare I even ask what's next? Reply
JayGau It's really unbelievable that Thermaltake refuses to include the most fundamental feature any AIOs should have (coolant temperature sensor) but goes full throttle with this. We should treat that like we did for the NFTs: massively reject any attempts to milk us with this. Reply

What's next the air I breathe, here's your bill for taking in oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide! Microprocessors used to be quite expensive.. and it's what led many to attempt to build alternatives to Intel's x86 CPUs. I remember building many PCs (back when that was profitable in the Win3.1 to Win2k days) that featured Centaur (winchip), VIA, Cyrix, and yes plucky AMD x86 alternatives to make the PCs more affordable. That said, I think the barriers to entry are so high and the encombants so entrenched (receiving soooo much money from govt's and other businesses operated by wealthy technocrats) that there isn't the opportunity for new entrants to come along and lower the prices . It's very anti-consumer at the moment and I don't think there is an appetite for any anti-trusts bodies to challenge it. I'm literally trying to move all of my computing for a new business I'm scaling up to run everything on RaspberryPIs… as the 16GB Pi5 w/ a minor overclock and an M.2 NVMe drive is plenty quick. linux on arm.
