Silicon-shortage Memes

When RAM prices are so astronomically insane that you're literally praying to foreign governments for salvation! Two sticks of RAM for $138? That's not a price, that's a RANSOM NOTE. Meanwhile, CXMT (China's memory manufacturer) is out here looking like the hero nobody expected but EVERYONE desperately needs right now. The tech industry has become so unhinged that we're genuinely celebrating geopolitical interventions in the RAM market. What a time to be alive – where downloading more RAM sounds less ridiculous than actually buying it. Your gaming rig upgrade fund just turned into a down payment on a used car, and suddenly international trade relations are your new favorite topic.

Nothing screams "financial responsibility" quite like deciding to build a gaming rig when GPU prices are doing their best impression of a SpaceX launch trajectory. When everything's affordable and reasonable? Nah, sleep mode activated. But the SECOND graphics cards cost more than a used car and RAM sticks require a small loan? Suddenly you're possessed by the spirit of Linus Tech Tips himself, frantically refreshing Newegg at 2 AM like your life depends on it. It's the programmer equivalent of only wanting to clean your room when you have a deadline due in 3 hours. The chaos fuels us. The financial irresponsibility makes it *spicy*.
