>An enterprising Russian enthusiast has taken to building his own memory amid the extreme price increases driven by a global shortage. As the world suffers from dried-up memory inventories, some people are wondering when things will go back to normal, while others are looking toward exotic alternatives like SODIMM-to-UDIMM adapters. Now, a bunch of modders in Russia have taken matters into their own hands and are proposing a radically inventive solution: making your own RAM by assembling the relevant parts yourself.

It's not just DIMMs that are scarce and high priced. The RAM chips themselves are the real battleground item. If you can't get the chips new, then you have a finite market of used RAM chips to draw from and they will be sus as fuck on amateur DIMM PCBs. The solution is to break the AI bubble before we get sent back to the fucking stone age. Kill AI because it's going to destroy the world but not in the ways you might think. It will destroy the organic advancement of technology and thinking. (((AI))) is jews and it needs to go along with them.
