Ram, SSD Prices And Now Nvidia Cutting Market

hardware-memes, steam-memes, nvidia-memes, pc-gaming-memes, gpu-prices-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

The PC hardware market is basically a self-destructive ouroboros at this point. Steam releases a new hardware category, and instead of celebrating innovation, the entire industry collectively panics and implodes like a poorly optimized recursive function with no base case.

RAM prices skyrocket? Check. SSD manufacturers forming cartels? Check. Nvidia treating GPU pricing like it's a cryptocurrency bubble? Double check. And now Steam drops literally anything new into the ecosystem and suddenly manufacturers are cutting production, prices are collapsing, and everyone's wondering if they should've just stuck with console gaming.

It's like the hardware industry has the stability of a production server running on untested code at 3 AM on a Friday. One small change and the whole thing goes down harder than a null pointer exception.

Don't Forget To Recycle Your Old RAM

Finally found a use for those ancient DDR2 sticks collecting dust in my drawer since 2009. Turns out RAM makes excellent prison shanks for threatening the intern who suggested we rewrite everything in Rust. Look at that tape craftsmanship – I learned that in 20 years of debugging production servers at 3 AM, not some fancy CS degree.

Logitech Customer Support Conversations Get A Little Bit Too Real

Oh. My. GOD. The existential CRISIS of tech support in its purest form! 😱 Support rep Sanjay is out here trying to be a THERAPIST while this poor soul is having a complete meltdown over a malfunctioning mouse. "Nothing helped I'm afraid" isn't just about the mouse anymore—it's about LIFE, people! And then Sanjay with the philosophical "May I know why you are afraid?" like he's ready to dive into the customer's childhood trauma. HONEY, THE MOUSE IS THE LEAST OF THEIR PROBLEMS NOW! The customer's deadpan "it's a figure of speech" response is the tech support equivalent of "Sir, this is a Wendy's." Pure comedy GOLD in the trenches of hardware support hell!

What Else Programming Related Can Convert You Into Believer

Imagine RAM getting so scarce and pricey that devs actually have to *gasp* optimize their code and think about memory management. No more spinning up 47 Chrome tabs with 8GB each. No more Electron apps eating RAM like it's an all-you-can-eat buffet. Suddenly everyone's writing efficient code, profiling memory leaks, and actually caring about performance. The idea that a hardware shortage could force an entire generation of developers to rediscover what "resource constraints" means is so absurdly dystopian yet plausible that it might actually restore faith in divine intervention. Because let's be real—nothing short of a biblical RAM apocalypse is getting modern devs to stop treating memory like it's infinite.

Electron Apps

Remember when building a cross-platform desktop app seemed like a good idea? Just wrap an entire Chromium browser around your glorified calculator app, they said. It'll be fine, they said. Now every todo list app on your machine is basically running its own copy of Chrome, each one hogging more RAM than your entire OS did in 2010. Your 32GB of RAM? Gone. Your fans spinning up for a chat app? Normal. Your CPU crying because you opened Slack, VS Code, Discord, and Spotify at the same time? Just another Tuesday. The real kicker? RAM prices are skyrocketing because everyone's buying GPUs for AI training, so now you get to pay premium prices to run five instances of Chromium just to check your messages. What a time to be alive.

In This World Nothing Can Be Said To Be Certain, Except Death, Taxes, And Pre-Builts Getting Worse

Ah, the eternal tech reviewer cycle. Just when you think you've seen the absolute rock-bottom of pre-built computers, the industry says "hold my thermal paste" and delivers something even more horrifying. It's like watching hardware evolution in reverse - yesterday's "worst ever" becomes today's "not that bad compared to this new monstrosity." The amount of hot glue, proprietary connectors, and single-channel RAM configurations seems to multiply with each generation. The kicker? They somehow manage to charge more for each successive downgrade. At this point, I'm convinced PC manufacturers are in a secret competition to see who can fit the most bloatware on a Celeron processor while still calling it a "gaming rig."

Hollywood Hackers vs Reality

Hollywood would have you believe hackers are all chiseled jawlines in sleek environments, dramatically typing "ACCESS GRANTED" while staring intensely at someone. Meanwhile, actual hackers are just sleep-deprived cave dwellers surrounded by the archaeological layers of tech hoarding, surviving on energy drinks and pure spite, with enough ethernet cables to circle the equator twice. The only thing they're hacking is a path through their hardware graveyard to find that one specific adapter they swear they kept "just in case."
