    I don’t get it. Are hardware manufacturers that short sighted? This will blow over and when it does, good luck getting back the customers nyhat kept your lights on for the past decades

      Are computers and phones going to stop needing RAM? Consumers are kind of a captive market as long as we want to keep computing.

      I find it much more likely the data giants will begin to redirect and push cloud subscription PCs - end consumers simply won’t have access to new memory when the dust settles.

        But the companies building phones, cars, etc. need to look somewhere else too. And they won’t just switch back later.
