Valve describes just how brutal RAM negotiations are in 2026 (www.theverge.com)

Valve’s Steam Machine finally has a price: a whopping $1,049 for the 512GB configuration or $1,349 for the 2TB version. And those are without bundled controllers, which drive up the cost more.

The prices are so high in part because Valve isn’t subsidizing the hardware, and the company has already indicated that the component crisis forced it to reconsider its initial pricing plans. In an interview with the YouTube channel Gamers Nexus, Valve engineers discussed the reality of sourcing RAM in 2026, with take-it-or-leave-it prices as memory and other components remain in short supply, from only a few vendors like Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix.

[...]

Valve, of course, isn’t the only company in a bind over memory shortages, as the crunch is forcing many hardware makers to make significant pricing changes. Even Apple CEO Tim Cook is warning of incoming price hikes for iPhones, Macs, and other devices. And the RAM crunch isn’t projected to get better anytime soon.

There are exceptions. Kagi, the search engine

They're giving money to the homophobic brave search engine because it's "just politics" and also give money to russian yandex despite their invasion into ukraine

Alright. Now let's talk about what Google is doing. :)

Pretty damn evil company if you ask me.

At some point, you realize that companies will always do things you don't agree with, and you try to pick the lesser evil.

As for homophobic, i dont know if you mean same sex marriage? The bible clearly says:

Leviticus 18:22: You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.

So to Christian people, its not homophobic, it's about their beliefs. Clearly religions will have things that you must not do, and this is one of those for Christianity.

Abortion is another hot topic. There are many of these that are not based on hate, but on belief systems. I really think it's getting too much with calling everyone homophobic. It's the new conspiracy theorist.

Topics can be discussed without calling eachother labels I believe.
