Comment on Nvidia plans heavy cuts to GPU supply in early 2026

So far we are seeing significant price increases/low availability in:
- RAM
- SSDs/hard drives
- some microcontrollers
- phones
- and now GPUs
I think we are nearing a bit of a technological winter for the consumer market.

And all that while we get more and more dependent on technology…
As someone from the third world, I’m really scared

Getting repairable tech will be even more important now than ever. Making your current devices last is important, but even more important in a couple of years (in my opinion).
I just dont see the price going down.

I really want your conclusion to be wrong but all the logic left in me agrees with it.

Honestly, it’s a culture I can get behind. Lower ewaste, reduce the product cycle to something greater than a year, encourage more hobbies and less consumerism, … people will flock toward things that last, which is a market that can use some love.

Tbf, GPU were already part of a significant price increase. It just stuck around and got the new normal.
