i'm seeing some estimates stating ram prices are going to jump 400% by the end of june 2026. major price increases are inbound.

here is some of the information i'm seeing:

1. Memory shortage deepens, extending boom for Korean chipmakers
2. Samsung expects memory shortage to worsen through 2027 and last until 2028
3. SK Hynix CEO sees worst memory shortage in 2027, demand to outstrip supply beyond 2030
4. SSD and memory price to remain high at least until 2029?

prices may never come down again.

"post consumer computing"

correlation does not equal causation.

indeed it does not.

but correlation can lead to discovering causation or even larger phenomena. which is why i pay attention to "it" when appropriate. do you?

my research indicates the world is going through a complete transformation. i could be wrong.

but if i am not wrong, then there is something significant happening right now. if so, why aren't more people "waking up" to see what is occurring right before them?

edit:

i will definitely not be doxxing myself by sharing any of my research projects, custom tools or other resources that could identify me.

what i will say is there are enough of you here who understand what i am saying to speak plainly...

from my position in space and time, we coexist in an era of great opportunity. right before we begin mining and colonizing space, truly epic times. only a few will notice which way the winds are blowing. if you have the guts and savvy to figure it out by doing your homework, i say take full advantage of your observations. whatever your ambitions are. it's okay to be a little selfish and make real change happen.

this occurred to me while taking a giant shit. so there ya go.

i'm just skeptical about putting my life and safety on the line for people who don't want to change.
