Ram and hard drive prices

Billionaire bought all of a bunch of stuff to control the tech market to raise prices by double and triple.

The price of ram and hard drives doubling and doubling again 👉 is billionaire theft, economic destabilisation.👈

Its the moral equivalent of a mugging, but big as a war.👈

Billionaires are malfunctions, like brain aneurisms, they can kill you, or the economy, in a heartbeat.

Prevent and treat aneurisms, financial and medical.

This a HUGE WARNING its not just a temporary price hike, billionaires have bought materials needed to make ram, to cut supply of chips, and hard drives, TO CORNER THE MARKET and destroy personal computing not owned by them.

They control phones, you control PCs.

There are a quarter BILLION laptops that are prevented from using windows, no upgrades, no security, no fixes.

Get a laptop, several laptops, install linux

It might not be much, but I replaced the keyboard and battery in a 8 year old laptop and now it feels good as new! Special thanks to Dell for having a good repair manual and Linux mint for running on anything.

Eggs now in different baskets.Mar 4

I bought a gaming PC from #tuxedocomputers in Germany in late November.

I just checked prices for a similarly specced machine today.

The price has increased by EUR 400 compared to the late November prices.

I started checking specifications in early November. By the time I got round to actually ordering the PC a couple of weeks later the price for that spec had jumped by EUR 100. So I downgraded a bit to get the price to fit my budget.
