They been publicly fixing the supply for 30 fucking years.

It's a class action submitted by few consumers. Will see how this goes, but I highly doubt it's like before where they were literally keeping ram away from markets to inflate the prices, otherwise commitments on building more fabs seem weird if they'd want maximum return, but now they're taking risks since it's quite unclear if the AI demand will stay like this in the future.

Samsung and price fixing. Name a more iconic duo.

Fuck 'em I'll make my own RAM factory and it'll have hookers and blackjack.

Maybe a bit of coke.

Like every industry does, and gets away with it if they keep it looking competitive.

Giant Corporation going to Giant Corporation get out of here what

Again?

YES

DO IT AGAIN

DO IT LIKE 2002 AND BRING BACK MEMORIES SINCE I WAS 1 YEAR OLD WATCHING THEM GET SUED THE FIRST TIME

Probably shouldnt let corporations declare they own all RAM produced for the next 3-5 years also.

Does anyone have a non-paywalled source on the lawsuit and article that references it which is linked at the top of this article? This is an interesting development that also makes much more sense than what is typically accepted as an explanation as it alleges the price inflation resulted from capitalistic imperatives of profit maximization (prioritizing high-demand production) as an act of purposeful collusion, apparently with successful fines enforced by both the US and China in the past. Would be interesting to see the specifics of that, as I wonder how much the rapidly shifted legal landscape in the US has enabled this.

Good. They need a serious kick in the teeth.

They have been caught doing that multiple times already

We are f'ed in the a, folks. RAM prices aren't going down. The capitalists already know they can just charge whatever and they'll be fine. It's not about us or the consumer.

The whole thing would be a truly massive anti-trust case, if only anyone had the guts to prosecute it

At this stage it’s not even cynical to assume that they colluded for this…

Ugh. Passive voice. It's a
"class action lawsuit – filed by a proposed class of individual and business consumers"

It wouldn't be the first time
