I'm sure it doesn't help that motherboard manufacturers have increasingly been targeting "whale" consumers over the last 10-15 years. I remember when a top of the line motherboard would cost you $300; and an average board was around $100-150.
Or gpu prices or hdd/ssd prices that never recovered from the tsunami. Consumers just keep getting fucked.
Our economy increasingly is consumed to serve the rich. They are eating the world. Grocery stores increasingly cater to the wealthy. So do the automakers. Billionaires are buying up whole city blocks for themselves. And now we won't be able to buy electronics because they've taken the resources for their speculative investments, and if they crash the economy our tax dollars will be appropriated to bail them out. It's almost like we're barreling towards a violent confrontation between the classes...
We won't. Them sowing discontent among ourselves works to well and has worked longer then most realize.
You'll be happy with the government supplied computers whether you like it or not.
Alternately, perhaps we can look forward to
You'll be happy to rent the megacorporation owned and configured computers whether you like it or not.

You'll be happy to rent the megacorporation owned and configured remote interface for the corporate remote computing server which you will also happily pay a subscription to access wether you like it or not.
This is hilarious. Intel after many years finally fixed their manufacturing process, but won't be able to sell chips because of memory crunch
If only they had a solid state technology that expanded system memory... Shutting down optane comes to bite them, again.
Honestly, probably a buy opportunity for good ddr5 motherboards. When the bubble bursts then you can buy the ram for pennies.
Next up: MSI, ASUS, ... are pulling out of the consumer market due to falling revenue causing major price hikes.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
