    Stay the same? Oh, sweet summer child. There’s a story posted this morning about PCB prices skyrocketing now due to AI. Lasting out till 2030. This roller coaster ride is only getting to the wild bit.

        Oh, I absolutely agree. I’m only saying that we haven’t even stopped going up yet, and we won’t for some time.

            It is a pretty good laugh to see Windows 11 and all of its old system requirements. Suddenly made a irrelevant as Microsoft Scrambles trying to keep themselves relevant. At one point it was 8-16 Gigabytes of RAM was the base. Now all of a sudden there are brand new Windows 11 laptops on the market with only 4 gigs.

            And it will still be a pretty shitty experience. You might be able to run a lot of the same applications, but I can guarantee you under Chrome you’re not going to be having tabs plural open. Just tab.

                I meant physical stock rather than stock market. If you could sell a graphics card today for £1k but it looks like if you wait it will be worth less then you will want to try and sell it before it drops.

                Plus over time newer hardware comes out which is faster and then your existing stock becomes worth less due to having to compete with the new stuff. You bought all this stock and you want to make a profit or keep losses down.
