I'm running out of space to store footage on my NAS. I keep looking at the price of 20TB hard drives and 😭
The last time I bought them they were €368.
I hate the AI bubble so much.

The sooner the AI bubble pops the sooner we can go back to buying reasonably priced computer hardware.
It’s not gonna be instant, but it will mark the beginning of the end of insane prices.

I have bad news. All ram for 2027, 2028 and 2029 is already sold. Flash drives and hard dis’ drives are not much different. That means anything is at least 5 years away.
In five years time the companies that made home use PC parts will no longer exist.
So whatever is going to happen will be very complicated.
Yes, Sam Altmans fault, mostly.

The war on independent computing takes many forms.
An oligarch cornering the market on critical inputs should face antitrust lawsuits, not a president getting his cut.
Industries colluding to price fix & price gouge should face criminal prosecutions, not fines & a sternly worded letter from regulators.
If trade globalization is to survive as a paradigm, global regulation & oversight needs to catch up & be more agile, resilient, & efficient too.
