YES THIS "It has been a historically bad time to buy any computer that is not a Mac mini since about mid September . . . Price hikes in RAM are entirely thanks to the Y Combinator-brained jackasses pushing AI into everything." aftermath.site/ram-prices-h...

I’m Tired Of These Useless Jackasses Making The Computer Expensive

RAM, flash memory, and HDDs are unaffordable because of a bunch of greedy idiots that do not love the computer.

Have been telling my friends (computer hobbyists) that it’s weird that my next computer may be slower than the last one I built. 😬

Mac minis with upgraded RAM are also getting hit, apparently

'Something big is happening': Apple could be heading for a Mac mini shortage, and you can blame AI

Apple's Mac mini and also the Mac Studio now have very long lead times for delivery in the main.

When I left IT I junked all my Windows, Linux, Solaris, etc, boxes and bought a Macintosh. I do not want to think any more.

Both Seagate and Western Digital have already sold out their 2026 hard drive production (SSD, I assume) because of big data center orders. Consumer orders are something like 1/20 of their business now. So good luck to anyone trying to buy an affordable SSD.
