After a year of finishing projects with storage bought before the start of the second grump catastrophe (and seeing that everything has basically gone up in price 2.5x), I just had to break down and buy some DDR5 SODIMMS (which I had unfortunately not stocked up on). It hurt, and I am definitely wondering if this is going to look foolish in retrospect - ie buying at the peak.

But then I remembered that it's essentially a hedge. These people and the capital pools behind them give off strong vibes of being all-in on capturing computing technology for their centralized control, and damning the revolutionary distributed computation/communications we have been enjoying for the past three decades (albeit we've been squandering most of its capabilities).
