"I've been saving for months to get the Corsair Dominator 64GB CL30 kit," one beleagured PC builder wrote on Reddit. "It was about $280 when I looked," said u/RaidriarT, "Fast forward today on PCPartPicker, they want $547 for the same kit? A nearly 100% increase in a couple months?"

What cracks me up is things they are doing that cost more (both money and resources) but don't help at all. Like instead of the press for this or this you get an llm which can only send you to the exact same options. Adding it to IDE's where by and large it does stuff you could get with a variety of addons.
