I noticed the price increases, of course. What I was wondering was whether the cause was as harebrained as that post implied.

 

Yes, one of the major manufacturers dropped out of the consumer segment because of their data center commitments. Nvidia and AMD have both been public since about possibly reissuing parts based on the prior manufacturing node to try to deal with the consumer market.

The gigantic price increases haven't hit GPUs (though certain models are disappearing, 5090 increased and it's just gone, and prices are going up 10-40%) and SSDs (over 50% so they're getting there) yet but it's expected. They're talking about delaying the next generation game consoles

I'd be willing to bet money that Trump pardoned more child sex offenders (Jan 6th) than ICE has apprehended this year

Trump claims that he was once protected by Hell's Angels. He probably means when he was onstage with Mick at Altamont.

Trump Derangement Syndrome is watching everything Trump is doing right now and not immediately advocating for the 25th amendment.

Trump’s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: "Someone, maybe your parents, for their retirement have bought 5, 10, 12 homes."

Ah yes, the average American retirement plan: owning a dozen homes. So out of touch with ordinary Americans.pic.twitter.com/atAyczUX2X

That is one cheap flight. Or he decided to go on a school bus and save more taxpayers money.

 

Remember, if you object to a 79-year-old American president threatening war against a longtime NATO ally, and explicitly saying it was because he wasn’t given a Nobel Peace Prize, there are Americans who will insist that your objection is a sign of “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

This is just a perfect expression of the Trump attitude: When Trump tries to fire a Fed governor for political reasons, that's not politicizing the Fed. It's only when Jerome Powell attends a Supreme Court hearing that it's being politicized. What nonsense. pic.twitter.com/7UjRnZa5P3

NEW: The Trump DOJ is preparing to eliminate the ability of U.S. Attorneys to recuse themselves from cases due to conflicts of interest.

A new rule expected to be filed this week will put that power in the hands of Pam Bondi. https://t.co/6jPMv9iML1

It needed to be 5D chess...

 

Once again with the Trump administration, it's like Hypocrisy and Irony get together for superhot and mutually humiliating hate sex.

 

At first glance it looks like a desperate ploy to be seen as the peacemaker, at second glance it is a full blown attack on the validity of the UN.

 

It's mutually corrupt.
