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.

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.
