Yeah,

And how many people that got that crappy handheld TikTok game that was doing the rounds last Christmas are still playing it today?

I'm gonna guess zero.

It's a dangerous piece of hardware, I wouldn't trust it.

So that's the the memory chip crisis that we're in now.

Basically again, resources being diverted to artificial intelligence development as well as needing

really high-powered processing chips, they do need these component pieces of memory, bandwidth chips and stuff like that.

And it's just more profitable for those manufacturers to make the chips for the AI industry than it is for

the consumer electronics industry right now and that's causing prices for all consumer electronics to go up because there's less being manufactured to go into that industry.

So it's kind of creating scarcity in a way.

So if like I said this to a few people over the last few months, if there's any electronics or technology in your daily life that you're thinking is getting to its end of use and maybe

needs to be renewed in the next six to twelve months, you actually should probably get its replacement now because it's not going to get any cheaper than it is today.

I was about to ask that.

I was like, Do they read unlock them to try and prevent that?

Yeah, of course they do.

Something I really don't like about that is that that's a nice way to create shared experiences.

People go on about how we don't have monoculture experiences anymore or they're much, much rarer now.

And that is a way to to seed one in your community, you know, like if someone on your road got a certain game and you all had the same console that could play it, hopefully.

You know, you could loan it out and and share it around and stuff like that and then create that idea.

And that was that happened with other things as well, like DVDs.
