Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I didn't realize it had gotten that bad. I bought 2x16gb DDR4 RAM in 2021 for $204 CAD. I bought the identical set for $69 in 2024. The same set (this is all on Newegg) today is $279. That is insane!

I know, I just wanted to setup a homelab, but with these prices...

Same but I upgraded to 4x8 a while ago so I have 4x4 just sitting here and it's worth like 20 western money units (pick a currency, doesn't really matter)

Yup, the 32GB DDR5 G.Skill i bought at the end of 2023 was $109USD, its equivalent now is $370. Holy shitsnacks.

The ram I bought about a month ago has gone up ~~$200~~ $300-$400 depending on where you buy it.

Like one AI deal bought half of Samsungs global output next year. There are many others. It takes a couple of years to bring new facilities online. This is a capacity issue, not competition.

Ram isn't like processors Tony Stark was able to build this in a Cave, they aren't exactly the smallest node, where's the competition?

I paid like $60 for 32GB last year. Prices now look like a huge rip off.
