alt Hacker NewsCloud can pay more for RAM until all the RAM producers withdraw from the consumer market, then prices will go back down.
End users will still get access to RAM. The cloud terminal they purchase from Apple, Google, Samsung, or HP will have all the RAM it will ever need directly soldered onto it.

I was really fucking hoping we weren't at the part where "cloud terminals" doesn't seem farfetched and paranoid and yet here we are. Jesus Christ.

Doesn’t Apple place RAM directly into the SoC package? We aren’t even talking about soldering it to mother boards anymore, it is coming in with the CPU like it would as a GPU.
Ram upgrades are happening because of ddr5. Nvme upgrades are happening because of pcie5. Prices will come down once everyone is done upgrading.
