CES 2026 is over and it has revealed the situation with memory being consumed by AI companies is much worse than we initially thought.
What I heard on the ground floor from various system integrators, components manufacturers, and other companies, is memory supply has been tied up for all of 2026, and that shortages could last as long as until 2031.
Sure it’s scuttlebutt but wouldn’t surprise me as being true.

This is for one purpose if it’s true: To force consumers to rent everything, including their computer, so they can be surveilled.
Don’t use GeForce NOW, even if there’s a Linux client in the works, because it’s surveilled too.
Surveillance isn’t the reason, it’s a larger and more consistent profit margin.
And yet, we pay for most of it with our PII. In other words, we’re getting doxxed big time with these surveillance services.

I’m sorry, the game streaming platform can’t be bothered to make a client for Linux??
They’re making one already, because cloud gaming is the future of gaming. It’s literally 1984 on that front.
They do and have for a while.
