You know what's crazy about this AI bullshit. I've been wanting to buy a micro SD card for my tablet but the hard drive shortage has caused the price of micro SD cards to double in the past few months, so I might not be able to anytime soon. The only one that's reasonably priced is from Silicon Power, which is a brand that I've never even heard of before.

Imagine if we put this level of effort into something objectively positive for the human race.

They've been around for a long time, they're decent.

Theoretically it should be. We can stop working most jobs and spend our time enjoying ourselves.

Too bad that won't happen.

Imagine if they put all that money into developing a decent product that might return some actual revenue.

Nah, let use all these PC components for something wasteful.

Wonderful.

This reminds me of those morons that run out to buy ALL the toilet paper to sell later.

Except it's the toilet paper manufacturers that are hoarding all their product because there are these billionaire fuck-bags that are promising to produce a massive pile of shit and will pay anything to have ALL the toilet paper.

I have one, I bought it directly from them on their website. Its pretty decent for the price. It hasn't failed in a few years so that's good.
