    That does make me interested as to whether any of that reduction in intended spending would involve reduced spending on memory in the next, say, three years.

      Are you running out of RAM? Second hand servers sold in your area may help. :D

      I’m picking up a 128GB server from 2019 for a spare tomorrow.

        yup, buy old rigs/laptops “for parts”. This is what I’ve been doing.

        Also go to thrift stores and look for old DVRs. you can take the HDs out of those and they’re usually in the 1tb range.

        Mainly i’ve been buying old laptops purely for the ram and ssds.

    How would it feel to spend an insane amount of money that doesn’t really exist.
