It’s about to get rough for anything that needs memory. RAM prices have quadrupled as AI firms buy up global supply, leaving low-end devices, gamers, and everyday tech users in the dust.
Some experts call it the “RAM apocalypse”—OpenAI alone now controls 40% of production. Supply is down to just 3 weeks. Phones, laptops, smart fridges, even EVs if they break and need repairs, expect long waits or big bills.
Where does this lead us? Does anyone have ideas for coping or pushing back?
