W Black Friday Deal

Black Friday "deals" on RAM prices are basically just retailers putting on clown makeup. You watch the same DDR5 kit climb from $134k to $156k over the weeks leading up to Black Friday, then they slap a "MEGA SALE" sticker on it at $629k and expect you to be grateful. It's like they're not even trying anymore—just straight up insulting your intelligence while you're standing there with your wallet out like William Wallace ready to charge into financial ruin for some memory sticks. The pricing strategy is so transparent it hurts. They're literally training us to wait for "sales" that cost 4x more than the regular price. Peak capitalism meets peak absurdity.

Incredible Things Are Happening

Discord's genius solution to memory leaks: just nuke the whole thing and restart when it hits 4GB. That's not fixing memory leaks, that's just automated rage-quitting with extra steps. The real kicker? They won't restart if you're in a call. Because nothing says "we care about your experience" like letting the app balloon to 24GB of RAM while you're mid-conversation. At least your friends will know exactly when you rage quit Discord—it'll be right after your PC starts sounding like a jet engine. Fun fact: This is basically the software equivalent of "if you ignore the problem long enough, it becomes a feature." Memory management? Never heard of her.

It's Not Over Yet...

So AI already brutally murdered RAM and is currently swinging at RAM's poor cousin (Crucial brand, nice touch). But wait—there's still one more door to kick down: the GPU. And honestly? GPU manufacturers are probably sweating right now because AI's appetite for VRAM is absolutely insatiable . First, AI workloads ate all your RAM for breakfast with massive language models and training datasets. Then they came for your storage with multi-terabyte model checkpoints. Now they're eyeing your GPU like it's the final boss in a horror game, except the boss always wins. Your RTX 4090? Cute. AI needs a server farm with 8x H100s just to load the model weights. The real kicker? While gamers are out here celebrating their 24GB VRAM cards, AI researchers are like "yeah that'll hold my model's attention layer... for one token." The GPU shortage wasn't a crypto thing—it was a preview of coming attractions.

The History Book On The Shelf Is Always Repeating Itself

Nothing says "tech industry" quite like watching the same economic disasters play out on repeat. RAM prices spiking 80% in 2021? Check. RAM prices spiking again in 2025? Check. It's like the hardware manufacturers have a playbook and they're not even trying to hide it anymore. The guy flipping through his calendar to find the last time this happened is all of us trying to figure out if we're living in a time loop or if the industry just has zero originality. Spoiler: it's both. Supply chain issues, factory fires, "market conditions"—the excuses change but the price gouging stays the same. Pro tip: if you ever need to predict the future of hardware prices, just look at what happened 4 years ago. It's basically astrology but with more DDR5.

Welcome To 2021 - But This Time, It's The RAM

Ah yes, the classic "I bought hardware at literally the worst possible time" experience. Crucial (the RAM manufacturer) getting absolutely obliterated while the guy who bought RAM in September 2025 watches in horror. Because nothing says "excellent timing" like purchasing components right before they either drop in price by 60%, get discontinued, or the entire market implodes. The real kicker? You know this person was probably thinking "finally, RAM prices are reasonable" before clicking that buy button. Spoiler alert: they weren't. They never are when you need them.

Grabs Popcorn..

So Micron just ditched the consumer RAM market to chase AI money, and somewhere in Valve HQ, Gabe Newell is nervously sweating because they just announced the Steam Machine reboot for 2026. You know, that living room PC console thing that flopped harder than a null pointer exception back in 2015? The timing couldn't be worse. RAM prices are about to skyrocket because everyone and their grandma is building AI datacenters, and Valve just committed to shipping hardware that needs... you guessed it... memory. It's like announcing a new car model right as the world runs out of tires. The dog sitting in the burning room perfectly captures Valve's situation - they're watching the memory market implode while pretending everything's fine with their Steam Machine 2.0 plans. Someone's getting fired, or at least they would if Valve had a traditional management structure.

Ripped Off, Ordered DDR5 RAM But Got A RTX 5070 In The Box Instead

Ripped Off, Ordered DDR5 RAM But Got A RTX 5070 In The Box Instead

Oh no, what a tragedy. You ordered 8GB of DDR5 RAM and some warehouse worker accidentally blessed you with a brand new RTX 5070 Ti worth like 10x the price. Time to write a strongly worded complaint letter, I guess? The sarcasm here is thicker than thermal paste on a first-time builder's CPU. Getting a high-end graphics card instead of RAM is like ordering a sandwich and receiving a steak dinner. Sure, you can't compile your code faster with more RAM now, but at least your GPU can render those compile errors in glorious 4K at 144fps. The real question: do you return it and be honest, or do you quietly accept this gift from the tech gods and never speak of it again? We all know the answer.

Guess Again Babe

When your significant other sees a mysterious $6,499.50 charge and immediately assumes the worst—jewelry, gambling, a secret vacation—but nope, you just casually dropped half a year's rent on RAM sticks. Because clearly, 32GB wasn't cutting it anymore and you absolutely needed 128GB to run Chrome with 47 tabs open. The best part? Trying to explain why you need server-grade memory for "productivity" when really you just want your Docker containers to stop fighting for resources. Nothing says "I love you" quite like prioritizing memory bandwidth over date nights. At least the RAM won't judge you for your life choices... it'll just silently enable them at 3200MHz.

Infinite Money Glitch Found

Someone just discovered the ultimate arbitrage opportunity in tech. Buy DDR5 RAM sticks for $510, harvest the chips, order three Mac Minis with base RAM, then pay Apple $400 to upgrade from 24GB to 48GB. Boom—you've essentially paid $910 for what would cost you $510 on the open market. Wait, that math doesn't work? Exactly. That's the joke. Apple's memory upgrade pricing is so astronomically inflated that people are genuinely considering desoldering RAM chips and performing surface-mount surgery on their Mac Minis. Because apparently that's easier than accepting Apple's "minor" $400 fee for 24GB of additional unified memory. The real kicker? Apple's unified memory architecture means you can't actually upgrade it yourself—it's soldered directly to the M-series chip. So you're stuck either paying the Apple tax upfront or living with whatever RAM you ordered. It's not a bug, it's a feature... of their profit margins.

How It Feels To Get Ram At Msrp

Finding RAM at MSRP in today's hardware market is basically like winning the lottery, except instead of money you get the ability to open more than 3 Chrome tabs. The store clerk is treating you like royalty, presenting those memory sticks in a velvet box like they're engagement rings. "You can return these" - honey, nobody's returning RAM they got at actual retail price. That's like finding a unicorn and then releasing it back into the wild. The flirtatious energy? Justified. When scalpers have been charging 200% markups and you finally catch that sweet, sweet MSRP deal, you ARE the chosen one. The hardware gods have smiled upon you today, and yes, you absolutely deserve to be wooed for your purchasing victory.

Worth It

So you dropped 64GB of RAM and a blazing fast 6000 MT/s SSD into your rig, and what do you get? The privilege of eating a single sad slice of bread for dinner. But hey, at least your IDE opens in 0.2 seconds instead of 0.3 seconds, so who's really winning here? Nothing says "I have my priorities straight" quite like choosing between food and faster compile times. Spoiler alert: the RAM always wins. Your stomach may be empty, but your swap file? Absolutely untouched. Chef's kiss. 💋 Developer life is all about sacrifices, and apparently rent, groceries, and basic human sustenance are negotiable, but that sweet, sweet hardware upgrade? Non-negotiable. Totally worth subsisting on breadcrumbs when your Docker containers spin up like butter.

I'm Rich Now

You know you've hit rock bottom when your first paycheck goes straight to upgrading from 8GB to 16GB of RAM. Someone's fanning out RAM sticks like they just won the lottery, and honestly? In today's memory prices, they might as well have. That dopamine hit when you finally have enough budget to download more RAM (but legally this time) is unmatched. The fire emoji really sells the excitement of being able to run Chrome with more than three tabs open without your machine turning into a space heater. Welcome to tech wealth: where your riches are measured in DDR4 modules and your bank account cries in silicon.
