What I heard on the ground floor from various system integrators, components manufacturers, and other companies, is memory supply has been tied up for all of 2026, and that shortages could last as long as until 2031.

Surveillance isn't the reason, it's a larger and more consistent profit margin.

And yet, we pay for most of it with our PII. In other words, we're getting doxxed big time with these surveillance services.

That's for unbiased upvote and downvote totals. I did this with all my comments, though I periodically check to see if I missed any. I decided to get that done one day, and I never looked back.
