Woof. Hug your hardware tight, boys and gals. Not too tight tho.
I am babying my system right now. Fortunately I've got some backup hardware (an SSD and two sticks of DDR5 RAM) in reserve, and while they're not as impressively specced as what I'm using now, they at least work.

Every night I praise the Omnissiah to make sure my soon to be 7 year old rig doesn't woof its cookies since replacing it would cost a month's wages.

FFS, two of them are Korean companies. Good luck to the plantiffs, though, because this looks to be an uphill battle.

But I also feel like we need to sue the likes of MS, OpenAI, or other AI companies that are hogging up all the DRAMS

I wonder if all these chip shortage issues are going to halt the production of electric cars. Because California wants to ban all non-electric cars but if people literally can't get a electric car then wtf are they gonna do?

California doesnt even have the electrical structure to support millions of people plugging in their cars at night and public places have been removing the chargers because they keep breaking and people aren't using them (Because they charge you a shitload to use them)

Regrettably you cannot sue someone for buying something in deranged numbers when you’re talking contracts and wholesaling. It would be, I suspect, classed as an unreasonable restriction to free market enterprise. But this is a rather unprecedented situation where industry buying is directly affecting individual consumers in a very obvious way that they cannot counteract by simply buying elsewhere.

If I had to take a pie in the sky guess as to what the purpose of this class action would be - at least I’d hope it’s this - that manufacturers must have some kind of hard line separation between production for industry and production for end users/consumers and never the twain shall meet so that they can charge like wounded bulls for industry but must keep competitive pricing and availability for end users/consumers.

Maybe.
