It's cheaper to buy an AR-15 rifle than 64GB of DDR5 RAM.

@leyrer order the rifle and use it to get RAM 🤷‍♂️

@darthvader42 @leyrer Rather, to destroy the core reason why RAM is so expensive (capitalism)

@30p87. Would there be any RAM without capitalism? 🤔

@dans @30p87 @darthvader42 @leyrer easy question. Yes.

@ignaziop1977 I'm not at all pro the worst forms of capitalism, but curious who would build the fabrication plants and make all the components if not.

@dans @30p87 @darthvader42 @leyrer necessary technology gets built one way or the other. Soviet Russia had factories - the tech face will be climbed, to reuse Iain Banks' metaphor.

@dans I'd assume so. I'm not making assumptions about which way would develop faster or better.
