Back in December of 2025, two days before Christmas, I was on vacation and doing some tech stuff that I had on my todo list. One of them was to start backing up my GoG game purchases (and also have a bigger drive to backup my OneDrive stuff, my music and my pictures.

I stopped by Best Buy and bought this external Seagate 24TB drive for $279.99 and thought to myself at the register while paying for it, "Damn, this is expensive."

I just looked and the same drive at Best Buy is now $709.99 (and that's the sale price after a $50 discount!). The sale price is a whopping 153.6% increase in just six months!

This is insane. Thanks #AI techbros for making everything tech more expensive.
