   Crucial consumer, the decades existing top tier "consumer" (end-user) brand of computer memory (RAM) and storage (SSD/Flash) manufacturer Micron from Idaho (only one from USA)... is ceasing, because "AI". Actually, yes that's why.

   In short, they decided that since "AI" gobbles up so much anyway, fuck us regular end-users.
   Who will even use the "AI" corporations' output when the regular people don't have access to computers because "AI" made both RAM and storage inaccessible or impossibly expensive for actual people? Just themselves in a no-value circle? Yeah, seems like it.

   In a related note: The Kingston FURY 64GB DDR5-6000 CL30 that I bought for SEK2999 (≈$320) on 2024-05-02 now from the same major computer stuff retailer costs... SEK8190 (≈$873).
   That's a 173% increase. Absolutely nuts.

   With Micron leaving the consumer market, there'll be a Crucial-sized hole in the market that other brands feel the need to be competitive over now right? Right? 🤞 (or will there be an other price fixing scandal on the horizon instead? More likely 🙄)
