for that price theres gotta be some dude shoving those up his ass in taiwan and smuggling them into straya for arbitrage reasons
NINE-HUNDRED DOLLARYDOOS?!
OI, MISTER PRIME MINISTER
What the actual fuck are they even doing? Feels like they’ve just been doubling the price of everything every 6 months on a whim. Why are micro SD cards so damn expensive now?
This is Australian prices, and it’s from JBHiFi which is our largest and pretty much only electronics store. Amazon have them for about 100-200 cheaper (still too damn expensive IMO), I looked at JB because because I didn’t want to wait for shipping but holy hell I am not paying that much.
(Sorry if you’re Australian and I’m explaining stuff you already know I forget where most people here come from)
Yeah, no it’s ok, I am Australian, but it is still outrageous. I did mean it seems like JB specifically ups their prices every six months or so, could’ve been clearer on that.
For that little piece of plastic I can build a gaming pc?
You actually can get gaming computers for $400, assuming a ryzen 680M can play all the games you plan on playing.
Not anymore
Easy to shoplift JUST SAYIN
in aus money? no. A 1 tb gen3 ssd is like 250 lol. Computer prices have always been outrageous here. 200 bucks for 16 GB of DDR4. Etc etc
We gotta start shoving AI people into contraptions.
Just imagine how bad it would be if that fucking asshole who wanted to do what’s basically bitcoin but with storage instead of GPU cycles had his way
Iirc it would also permanently destroy the storage because if it’s repetitive over use
that has existed for over a decade in storj and filecoin and such
That specific nerd wanted to do it like 4-5ish years ago though
