Cries in PC gamer

I’m glad I already have a good setup and shouldn’t be buying anything for a good while, but damn it. First the GPU, then RAM, now SSDs.

Next step, modular desktops as a concept will die, probably.

I hope people like locked-down black boxes they can’t upgrade and can’t run their own OS on in the future, so byebye Linux and BSD in that scenario outside of niche devices.

Eventual discontinuation of more PC parts to appease the AI grifters until all that’s left for consumers is mini PCs or ARM black boxes.

Chinese companies are most likely going to fill at least some of the void that the other companies will be leaving to chase AI hype. It won’t necessarily be cheap though.
