The problem we had two months ago has gotten worse to a hardly imaginable extent. Until now, RAM had been the most affected, but since the beginning of the year SSD storage has also skyrocketed. It’s gotten to the point where even the prices of conventional hard drives have gone up. Any component that has the potential to be used in an AI data center has shot through the roof, making it impossible (or very expensive) to turn to equipment of any kind.
In short, we’re screwed. When it’s not one thing, it’s another, and now, with the conflicts breaking out around the world, we’ll have to see what new excuse they come up with to rip us off. I’ve brought almost the same setup I brought in January, because honestly, it’s a bit demoralizing. Make do with what you’ve got, and let’s see what happens with each monthly batch of equipment we bring in from now until the end of the year.
