I ‘panic bought’ (OK, not out of panic, but mild concern) a 22TB drive since the price seemed not too astronomical, and the local store had a few left. Just in case.
Seems the supplies really are drying up. Fuck these AI companies. Doesn’t matter if they actually intended to wage a war on personal computation; their hoarding of the supply chain for years to come really is an assault on our ability to afford local self-hosted computing. I hope the bubble bursts, soon and hard.

I think they are intentionally waging war on personal hardware. They want everything cloud based so they have direct access and ownership of all user activity. Their wet dream is everyone’s computer being a streaming stick plugged into a monitor.
