fuck this stupid ai thing fr fr
i just want my STORAGE gimme my STORAGE
diversifying my portfolio rn. paying etsy witches, rationalists, and donald trump to torpedo this thing
used drives are at the price of normal pre-2026 drives??? fucked up
me in 2020: man it's wild that i paid $150 for this 128gb ssd back in 2014. now these things are like, $75! that's so cool man
me in 2026: i don't care how many datacenters need to get blown up i just want my $0.10/gb back
don't even get me started on ram prices
i guess it's not so much that i have a *need* for speed, as much as it's a *want* for speed
... reusing old ssds it is
given that all these companies are about to IPO and make off with a shitton of retirement funds before publishing earnings reports that are subject to GAAP, i sense a huge decrease in RAM, GPU, and SSD prices in the near future
(that, or investors keep being total fucking dumbasses)
