Oh right, world wide computer part shortage. All hard drives that will be produced in 2026 are already bought and paid for.

FML.

@janusfox Yeah, it's a pretty bad time to need computer ANYTHING right now. And it's p;robably not going to get better until the "AI" bubble bursts.

@xoagray I really wish my drives didn't pick right now to be over 5 years old and due for replacement XD

@janusfox To be fair, no one saw this coming, at least not to the extent that it has.

@xoagray @janusfox speak for yourself there; I was warning clients in '24 that if things continued they should expect the DRAM cartel to jack prices by 50-150% in the best case, and worldwide shortage of basically everything except desktop CPUs.

And when the AI bubble pops now, it takes the entire economy with it, meaning nobody will be able to buy.
