@thomasfuchs I'm wondering what it will do to used PC prices.
@foolishowl line goes up

@thomasfuchs ah... or other way around:
Don't buy a computer now when in 3-5 years tons and tons of powerful computers, RAM, disks and other datacenter stuff will hit the refurbished market, because the AI bubble burst in a big bang.
@ij you can’t really use data center stuff for personal computing (except maybe for some turbo-nerds); and it will take a while for production of parts to ramp up again
-
@txtx used computers and phones will massively increase in price as well as supply dries up
(So better be quick!)
@thomasfuchs Gotta admit, all those circular deals between Nvidia and their oligopoly friends are starting to work for them (at least until the ai scam bubble pops).
I guess they saw the chip shortage around the COVID era and are doing what's needed to replicate that everywhere they can.

I don’t think people understand how bad this is going to get.
Data centers will consume 70 percent of memory chips made in 2026 - supply shortfall will cause the chip shortage to spread to other segments
Soon enough, you might not even be able to buy a calculator.

@thomasfuchs This is like having rich people buying up all of the housing stock and renting it back to the rest of us.

If you think you need a new computer anytime in the next 3–5 years you probably should buy one right now.
@thomasfuchs Isn't it already too late?
