SK chairman warns global memory shortage may last through 2030 - Lemmy NZ

>“The shortage stems from a lack of wafer capacity, and securing additional wafers takes at least four to five years,” he said. “We expect the industry-wide supply shortfall to persist at over 20 percent through 2030.”

Obviously they want to believe that this isn’t going to end soon to get you buy RAM at the current shitty prices.

Counter offer: I use my very old PC for several more years and pray it doesn’t die before this stupid bubble pops.

Best way to upgrade the RAM in your old computer is to install Linux.

Well, the main upgrades needed are CPU and GPU for gaming, which is definitely subpar on recent games.

Linux is definitely part of the plan though, but my impediment is laziness (same reason the PC upgrade was delayed).

Yep it’s more work upgrading components than people like to admit, if you want to be frugal.

Yep. I get stuck in analysis paralysis too. Like the price of GPUs in particular it’s been hard to time a ‘good time to buy’ a major upgrade in the last decade because there’s being something driving price cycles artificially multiple time and for extended periods.
