        The relationship between supply, demand, and price has been fundamentally damaged.

          It always has been. It’s just worse now. The haves have always had all the power in a “free market” system.

    If you’re on Windows, the new O&O ShutUp gives you the option to delete Copilot.

    And there was the HDD shortage, the CPU shortage, and I’m sure we’ll see some variant repeat of any of them again.

    Someone is too young or forgot the 2016 DRAM price fixing by Samsung, Hynix, and Micron, causing prices to skyrocket. Prices doubled or even tripled until 2018.

    God, the “PC master race” hype is just pathetic now. Spend your life savings so you can play a 10 year old console port that runs like dogshit.

    At least you have Steam sales so you can buy games that you won’t play.
