@bryce @JustinMac84 @pluralistic @iFixit if it is that temporary, most folks can just hold out. We already regularly give advice to “not buy a new laptop right now, wait 6 months until the new model comes out”
But if it lasts any longer than 6-12 months…

@sawaba @JustinMac84 @pluralistic @iFixit Honestly, I also think average users would be completely satisfied with older (aka: uninflated) hardware like DDR3. I don't like giving people the suggestion of "just buy a bunch of old parts and build it yourself," especially for non-enthusiasts, but if you *need* a PC and aren't planning on playing the latest AAA games..?
