At this p;oint if I go to a site and they have an "AI Chat Assistant!" pop up I send them a "support" message telling them that I will not be purchasing from people who contributes to the bubble that is driving up costs for components. I just did that for an MP3 player, why the everloving frak they need an AI assistant to give me a "compare" feature that's been on commercial sites for decades...

At what point do we start making the factories ourselves? No really if ddr3 is significantly going up would it make sence for all these smaller companies to pool thier resources and start fabbing thier own chips?
