    When do we start boycotting any companies that behave like this? We need a fucking class-action lawsuit against this behavior.

      Ummm… we’re kinda being forced to boycott already so what does calling it intentional change?

      Even if you boycott WD, the AI companies are spending 18x more than the entire consumer market.

      This is where any sensible country would call for antitrust.

      The externalities and consequences from this are going to fuck up the world economy, hard.

      WD? They are already not planning to sell to us.

      I guess AI companies? I’m already not buying anything from them. They also supposedly operate at a loss. I guess all the AI tech bros pay them, but they aren’t easy to persuade otherwise.

      Never, because the entire tech sector is a cartel and nobody else produces this tech at this capacity and capability. You basically have to completely swear off of electronics and the Internet entirely.

      At this point it’d be all of them, but unless you’re running a data center buying drives by the hundreds or thousands there’s not a lot of impact you can make.
