Isn't that kinda how market pricing always works?
Market pricing assumes neither participant can control prizes. When a big consumer holds shares of a big producer, or they are just not much of either of them, markets can't work (unregulated).
Lenovo saying RAM prices may never go back to how they were

Re: Lenovo saying RAM prices may never go back to how they were
#22It's so easy to weasel out of this statement that it's practically meaningless. Prices on now obsolete technology never went down either, and what's been obsolete for a long time now is the low-end PC. If the prices stay the same while the product improves (more per stick and faster), that's what everyone actually wants anyway.
We need like 3x the RAM to get the same value you were before.
I think that's actually an underestimation.

Do you mean you need 3x the ram to run your pc than you did at some point in time? Maybe not, anyway, this graph puts the current memory "crisis" in perspective for me: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/historical-cost-of-comput...
You need n-times the ram to produce the same work, e.g. produce an office document, sort your mail or filter your files.
