So it‘s going from basically unaffordable to absolutely unaffordable?
No, from unaffordable to unavailable. I’m increasingly having a harder time to find anything in stock. The SSD market is becoming a Sahara desert. Most GPUs aren’t even in stock even with the ridiculous prices. AMD is currently re-viving 5800x3d, can’t even find one where I live.
EDIT: Note that I’m talking about my own location and stores, which were always stocked of everything (somewhere in Baltics), now everything seems to be running dry
I recently made a 4GB swapfile on an RPi zero 2W to run a task. I’m not proud (ok maybe a little). I’m sure I reduced the life of that sd card by a few years.
time to get back PCs with the size of bigger rooms because it will only affordable to produce old school format size of PC components
That’d be funny, though at that point you’d start paying more for shipping those larger, heavier components.
I did not consider that. RIP computer market
