Once again there is no shortage. My local microcenter center has hundreds of bundles in stock. They're just super expensive because posts like this keep saying there's a shortage.
There is no ram shortage. There was never a ram shortage.
One company decided to not sell consumer ram anymore and the collective world lost their minds.
One of the only 3 companies making it. And a second has mentioned following suit.
That's a very narrow slice of a supply chain to be using it as a basis for conclusions like that.
I don't disagree that the "shortage" is artificial, i'm just saying that your local store having stock and raising prices isn't a good basis for determining overall supply chain health.
Like looking out your window and seeing rain, so obviously it must be raining everywhere.
