A small units-related #peeve prob not resonating with many others, but if someone says their product has a 3000 mAh battery, I see that as:

"We've got a 3 ✖️ 1000 ➗ 1000 AmpHour battery!"

Yeah, I know Dave in marketing says big numbers look more impressive, but just say it's just a 3Ah battery.

Power bank specs are worse to a factor of ten, often quoting 20,000 mAh capacity! I'm surprised they aren't trying to do 20kmAh which would be a crime against units.

@medwds that's even harmless.

#Micron axed the #Crucial brand, and the cheap-ish #BX500 #SSD's went from €75/TB to >€250/TB and competitiors now even more expensive.

Already people are #PanicBuying even #UsedSystems because unless that #bubble pops tomorrow, shit ain't getting better for 5 - 10+ years!!!

@nxadm yes, and #Phison as manufacturer für #Flash-Controllers on #Consumer-SSDs already publicly rang the alarm bell that the #AIbubble will kill #ConsumerElectronics and run [their clients (!!!)] manufacturers into the ground.

  • Point is that once the average #WageWorker's productivity, spending and wellbeing is irrelevant, they'll get jettisoned from the system.
    • You can see that with the decline.of the #UK & #USA the most!

"The rapid expansion of artificial-intelligence infrastructure is triggering a global memory chip shortage, as factories prioritize chips for hyperscalers over the kinds used in laptops and smartphones.

The shortage is set to have far-reaching global ramifications. The world’s two biggest memory chipmakers, South Korean companies Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, are making record sales. New memory chip plants are being announced in countries including Japan, Singapore, and Taiwan. China, facing U.S. export controls, is racing to catch up in memory technology.

The trend is expected to push up prices for consumer electronics globally, threatening the profitability of low-cost smartphones.

Here’s how this memory crunch is playing out."

AI is dominating the world’s memory chips. That could make phones more expensive

As chipmakers rush to serve AI data centers, consumer electronics are left in short supply.
