So consumers are getting priced out of PCs while manufacturers are prioritizing AI companies. Who will use the AI when nobody has a computer?
It’s simple, peon!
All users will have dumb terminals like iPads, and all software will be a subscription-based online service! The future is now!
What's a computer?
It's the one that goes "beep boop boop bop boop boop bop"
No, that's R2D2
Almost 30 years of every computer I ever built I used Micron/Crucial memory and eventually SSDs. That really makes me worry about PC gaming and maybe even console gaming.
Wow that’s a bummer, I think the first SSD I bought to replace an HD in an old laptop was from them.
I spent $550 buying a 120gb Micron SSD when they first came out and it was the best quality of life improvement to owning a PC ever.
This is pretty wild, I've bought several drives from them for myself and my customers and I honestly thought they were pretty alright considering how much I paid for them
The point being? They don't stop because something is wrong, they stop because they only care about AI companies anymore
