One of the ways you'll see consumers getting shafted that's not as obvious is some of the modern devices that should be your next sort of improvement upgrade on past generations, they're actually coming down in capacity.

So I haven't looked at the exact device names for a while, but we ran a report a while ago talking about some of the phones and laptops that have shifted from, say, a prior model of 12 or 16 gigabytes down towards 8 for memory.

There's decreased storage capacity as well, yeah.

They're already colluding anyway, in my opinion.

So yeah, they could collude in a different way.

And if you're calling something vulgar, then it's pretty vulgar.

Yeah, I think so.

And I mean...

you see it affecting i think that's that's probably their argument i think on the consumer side too even a company like lenovo which is not a manufacturer of memory but they buy it and they put it in stuff uh i'm not sure if there there may be this i don't know for fact but there may be a benefit for some of these companies as well for a few reasons one is

there's a lot fewer... It kind of reminds me a little bit of COVID when all the stores that were 24-7, all the grocery stores and whatever, suddenly stopped being 24-7.

And at least where I am, not one of them has gone back.

And I think that the memory capacity kind of equivalent here is this offers a little bit of a reset.

Exactly, yeah.

And now your next upgrade is more exciting.

And...

What I noticed with Lenovo when I was buying a laptop was they had quietly snapped out of existence their 64 gigabyte model memory, system memory, of the device I was looking at, and they only had 32.

It is.

Yeah, you can't upgrade it.

Yeah, and so I think what happens for them, in their favor, I might argue, well, they're having trouble getting supply, just like everyone else.

That's probably true.
