They do this because everyone else allows them to. I think computer and device manufacturers have more leverage than RAM manufacturers if they join together. Yet they don’t, because today’s management class is vastly incompetent.

There’s no guarantee that AI companies will need this amount of product indefinitely, while PC manufactures will always need RAM. Alienating them would be commercially foolish.

PC manufacturers should grow some balls and tell RAM suppliers to lower the price or lose their business forever.

looks like a legion, not a deck
