    And now the press are calling us ‘device hoarders’ for taking good care of our shit and not wanting to upgrade to new devices too.

      enforcement of existing consumer protection and anti-monopoly laws would do wonders(or tax, wage and hour, vehicle and many others). We actually have some pretty decent laws, they have either been deliberately underfunded, avoided per lobby or overruled by appointed activist judges.

      Pretty much the only way out is fire and force it seems, as history shows.

      I do but it doesn‘t matter much because the US Empire holds all the cards here.

    Pretty sure that shortage would be indefinite. Same for consumer GPUs. Maybe some other tech shortages will appear.

      The new shortage crisis will be in the energy sector.They will want to conserve energy resources and will therefore implement daily planned power outages. They will then transfer this saved energy to AI-like technology companies and the military.

    Is the RAM shortage a problem worldwide or are there countries that have laws to prevent this/have enough RAM?

    I look forward to when CXMT scales up and provides cheap memory. The memory cartel will cry about unfair competition, just like when Japan was kicking ass with memory in the 80s.

    I think this is overly pessimistic as CXMT is scaling up DRAM production. They don’t do HBM but that’s irrelevant to regular consumer

    Edit: they do HBM. Still they contribute to the supply of all DRAM modules
