Samsung in particular is expert at planned obsolescence. I will never stop telling the story about how my Samsung washer destroyed itself because they deliberately designed a critical structural part – the “spider arm,” which spins the drum – to also be the sacrificial anode!!!
You might already know that they are the number one global company in RAM production (50 percent of global market share).
But samsung is actually behind the huge influx in RAM prices worldwide, coordinating and lobbying for a shift of production from DDR3/4 to HBM (high bandwidth memory) causing a 700% increase of RAM prices, so that no one can affords home computing anymore and LLM becomes the normal narrative of computing.
