This RAM kit has gained another price increase and is £360 now! That's 323% more expensive than what I paid for it (£85) in August!

I hate AI! I hate it I hate it I hate it! Sucking up all the DRAM so it becomes unavailable and unaffordable for consumers.

We're in a bizarre place where if you need a new system just for everyday non-media and non-gaming tasks and don't have much money, a system with a meagre 8 GB of system RAM might have to be put up with. For a smooth experience, 16 GB is the new standard minimum recommendation today - now too pricey

Oh wow - PlayStation 5 is on sale now and cheaper than 32 GB DDR5

For £300 you could buy an AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT with 16 GB GDDR6. For now anyway.

This is nuts!

The total of my shop plus shopping for my dad does not equal the required £70 my Tesco vouchers thresholds are at now.

Verisure and some nicotine patch advert (Nicotinell or something?) - are you real or are you scam companies? If you're real, don't use AI.
