I would LOVE to believe this will force automakers to return to using buttons instead of touchscreen.
Yeah, I know. But I’d sure love to believe it.
Hahahahahahahha…but yeah, that’d be awesome. Fucking damn touchscreens in cars.
The number of touch screen clicks I need to turn my windshield wipers on is just plain dangerous.
I’m old enough to remember a time when windows were rolled up by hand. It wasn’t perfect, but you never had to turn your car on again to deal with a window forgotten open.
Hyundai Motor group said they would commit to buttons but the leaks of the ioniq 5 refresh look like all the other chinese crap out there with a bigass tablet in the middle.
Also removed Elon and Tesla for starting that removed

On the bright side it’s being used to artificially prop up a technology that nobody actually needs or even really wants
Most of the stuff I care about is like 30+ years old so prob not.
Yeah, I have a backlog of games and thus usually they’re old games to complete (only just couple of years old, not 30 years old), or at least only require lower spec, so I am not in a rush to upgrade my laptop.
Oh yeah my games backlog is huge, I haven’t actually played any in a few years due to depression, but all my old synths and samplers use memory that has been deprecated for ages anyways. I hope people use this time to play through their backlogs like you and maybe these companies will put a little more effort into not fucking people over. I’m a dreamer, I know.
Here I was hoping to casually siege a castle, but alas, no battering ram to be had ☹️
Great. Maybe we can stop using electron in everything now.
I wish Sam Altman to encounter difficulties every time he had to use bathroom and increased chance of his phone fell to the toilet all the time.
If I become anarchist, trying to burn data center with AI inside, will I be Robin Hood?
Steal the RAM from the rich and give to the poor
I believe we already established that they are making the ram incompatible with the systems of the poor.
That might just make weirder rigs come to existence.
Multi-user memory-protected operating systems of the “rich” have spread to the machines for the “poor”, simply because it’s work that can be reused.
If there’ll be enough RAM of a certain interface standard on the market due to that being used by all the AI hardware, it will eventually start making sense to produce personal hardware supporting it.
That was a good one!

So will mainboards get cheaper end of year or do i have to wait longer?
First the rich took our data. Then ownership, privacy, money, rights, now RAM. next will be our organs.
I’ve read enough science fiction to know the beginning of a cyberpunk dystopia when I see it…
I’m so glad I bought this book years ago
I was saving it for a retirement hobby project but looks like I will have to open it sooner than I thought.
IDK at the current price trend, maybe we’re approaching a point where having sweatshops make ferromagnetic memory modules in GB sizes. I’d better start building a couple of hangars for my GPU memory.
maybe we can have a ram:btc chart…🤣

Flagship smartphone chipmaker Qualcomm is warning that companies will build fewer phones, period — and that remaining phones will be more expensive. CEO Cristiano Amon says a big dip in its smartphone business will be “100 percent” because of the memory shortage. Here are some choice quotes from Amon on the company’s February 4th earnings call:
“Unfortunately, I think that the whole sector is impacted by memory.” “Industry-wide memory shortage and price increases are likely to define the overall scale of the handset industry through the fiscal year.” “OEMs are very likely to prioritize premium and high-tier, how they have done in the past.” “We just wish there was more memory.” CFO Akash Palkhiwala also said: “We’ve seen several OEMs, especially in China, take actions to reduce their handset build plans and channel inventory.”How much more might you pay? Hard to say, but IDC points out that memory represents 15–20 percent of the materials cost of a midrange phone, and about 10–15 percent of a high-end flagship phone.
Insert one (1) RAM stick to read full article
One stick of downloaded RAM coming right up
Across all the devices we have at home i would estimate we have around 70-80 gb of ram in total. Probably even more.
You’re rich.
Does this mean no smart fridges?
Coz that would be cool
i’d be willing to suffer another year of ram shortage if that meant all smart devices fucked off
maybe we could even see actual physical buttons on devices again! i miss buttons and toggles
Mr Brightside checking in
I think calling it a RAM shortage is a bit incorrect. It is not like we are running out of raw materials or something else in the supply chain is broken. It’s shitty AI companies buying RAM that is not existing yet with money they don’t have. Unfortunately there’s no good term for that, I guess.
It’s shitty AI companies buying RAM
It’s greedy manufacturers selling it all to them in the first place and other market segments be damned.
I’m no AI fan but the manufactures aren’t angels either.I like electron finance
Their exact location cannot be pinpointed; instead, they exist in a probability cloud where they are likely to be found at any given time.
That’s what this hype cycle is founded on. If I lend you $5, you have $5 you can lend further. Now, we each still have a right to $5, so we can lend that debt obligation again for $4.50. Now we have, somehow, a market value of $19.
Until someone looks, then it’s probably 0.
The term was well established centuries ago.
FRAUD
Unfortunately there’s no good term for that, I guess.
Market manipulation?
It’s called Imaginary Economics.
It tends to happen right before a capitalist system fails.
I’m not holding my breath.
We’ve been hearing about an AI crash practically since the hype train started.
It tends to happen right before a capitalist system fails.
How often does this happen that we can claim this correlation? 🤔
About once every 350 years… With a sample size of 3… 😅
It’s about to. The very nature of it, means you can only have a sample size of one.
And when do you predict this will occur? When should I have built my nuclear shelter so I know when to start building it?
Too late for that I’m afraid. It already happened. It just takes a while before the [citation needed] folks understand that past performance is not a guarantee for future success.
Lol sure, any time now, just one more year bro, just one more year and it will collapse bro, promise.
Maybe the usa will collapse a bit (because those people are often americans that don’t know there are other countries out there) but that’s another story.
I highly recommend staying ignorant honestly. It’s a much lighter burden to carry than seeing all the datapoints and seeing the collapse as a certainty. Have a good life, seriously.
Can I coin the term imagineomics?
[citation needed]
When has this happened before?
Yes there is: it’s a Ponzi scheme (AI companies will fail when they get no new funds to pay off the stockholders)
Are they paying off stockholders?
They are creating staggering shortsighted profits, so yes, they are doing that. And of course ignoring what a bubble does in the long run.
It’s a racket, plain and simple. There used to be laws against this sort if thing.

I hope that it was worth it, and that America is great again. Let me just check some news articles… Oh my
It is a shortage caused by artificial demand rise.
We have RAM supply shortage.
Now better? god…
