Something's got to give at some point here. Everything from computers to phones to cash registers to traffic signals need these components and are costing more due to the shortages, despite production remaining high.

The world is going to have to decide if it is worth putting the entire modern world on a pricing hold to funnel all the memory into speculative markets.

The voting is done with money, and the money is in a few hands which right now say "yes, yes it is". I don't think this will last forever, though. Their free cash flow won't allow it, and they are notoriously fickle.

Wow. Calling out the source for the article as "semi-reliable" is quite the dick move.
