Fucking make it stop already.

From the post:
>The memory/NAND flash shortage is continuing to chew up the storage market without mercy. VDURA reports (from Blocks and Files) that SSD prices are now a whopping 16 times greater than HDDs, making hybrid storage deployments with SSDs and HDDs mixed together significantly cheaper and more financially stable than SSD-only setups for datacenters.
Control the guns by controlling the bullets. Control private computational capability by controlling the RAM.
The populace is getting uppity, capable. All your really need is a Chromebook to look at car videos and the sanitized swill we feed you.
Cry baby cry, make your mother sigh...

Hope you have good backups. I had one of those, it died. Randomly. I don't overclock or do anything crazy.
Bad luck maybe, these drives have had an excellent reputation for some time. Did they get you a new drive? It should have a 5 year warranty.
No, I just replaced it. The red mist descended and I had the cash on hand to buy the one I should have purchased.
If you've had good luck with them, then I wish you continued success with them. I've had horrible luck with Samsung electronics outside of TVs.
I'm tempted to yank the SSD out of my PS5 and auction it off.
So long as you are ok with waiting at least 3-5 years for a replacement at a reasonable cost then I agree.
Linux runs on 10+ year old machines. But you not too.
I have systems older than 10 years that are working just fine. Some people hate XFCE or LXDE but I don't.
Fucking make it stop already.
It won't stop. Micron didn't dump Crucial as a rushed decision. They planned this well ahead waiting for the AI data center boom to reach fever pitch. These DRAM and flash makers as well as Intel, AMD, Nvidia and so on have chosen to abandon the consumer markets in favor of the megabucks corporate AI circle jerk. Go see how little came out of the recent CES event. They didn't bring anything to the consumer market. Everything was about corporate AI. We'll be renting computers in the cloud next year. It's over for us but the shit won't stop.
Maybe I should be willing to work on-site at a chip fab. Seems like that is going to be a safe job for a while until everything is automated (I would be working to automate it).
So much is automated in new fabs. Now 200nm fabs not so much. I know a guy in Texas.

Sorry, they don't employ White males.
My guy does.
Fucking damn it. I guess you are are right.
I suppose I will have to start my own company that only employs White Males. I should have thought about that like 20 years ago. Imagine how successful we would all be.
Who is we? My shit will still be working. All of my bare metal is running on systems released in 2013. I just ordered a turn 9 7460h (think that’s the numbers) 32gb/1tb for 369, gonna run ollama on their local so when all this shit implodes, I’ll still have an ai box that can point me into a good direction for shit I don’t know how to do. Or math I am shit at.
But point is, most can run on very old hardware and get by if they don’t God worn the nigger faggot route of windows.
They can't, how else are they going to spy on us and do pre-crime type of shit? They can't employ enough knuckle dragging mouth breathers to watch all our posts and other activity.
They've learned the knuckle dragging mouth breathers aren't reliable.
