      Tariffs have nothing to do with it, clearly, when countries other than the US have the same prices and issues with RAM and other pc parts.

        So when I work with the procurement department to make accurate cost estimates based on tariffs, specifically, that’s just a hallucination. Good thing I have Internet trolls to snap me out of it.

          Tariffs on RAM and semiconductors haven’t even started yet you turkey lol.

          As I said, RAM prices have exploded all over the world. Trumps tariffs don’t affect other countries. They exploded BEFORE any tariffs were announced. The announced tariffs haven’t even begun being enforced yet lol

              There have not. Google it. Google tariffs on ram.

              One of the ram manufacturers is in America btw.

                It’s NOT just ram, even though that is the major contributor currently, and American companies still buy shit that is tarrifed. It all gets passed down. I design PCBs and buy electronics/parts/computers/network infrastructure for a living. It’s been a constant issue. So anyway, good times, by forever.
