Shortage means supply doesnt meet demands, which is true. AI giants are gobbling up the available supply leaving us lower paying customers without any

    Once again there is no shortage. My local microcenter center has hundreds of bundles in stock. They're just super expensive because posts like this keep saying there's a shortage.

    There is no ram shortage. There was never a ram shortage.

    One company decided to not sell consumer ram anymore and the collective world lost their minds.

    That's a very narrow slice of a supply chain to be using it as a basis for conclusions like that.

    I don't disagree that the "shortage" is artificial, i'm just saying that your local store having stock and raising prices isn't a good basis for determining overall supply chain health.

    Like looking out your window and seeing rain, so obviously it must be raining everywhere.
