>Chinese entering the market Fuck no, finding a decent one to buy will be as bad as trying to find a non-fake SD card online.
Jaxon Brown
watch as ram prices soar even higher cause you know those companies will try to recover those "fines" they paid out. stockholders/board members can't stand lost profits.

Cry more you dog eating gooks. I'll take a Korean or Jap slant eye any day over some Chinese, i.e. the niggers of Asia.

Hey remember when the Chinese stole fake designs for capacitors causing tons of faulty power supplies and motherboards? How it was such a monumental disaster that PSU manufacturers still advertise "100% Japanese capacitors" on the box TO THIS DAY?
Brody Green
Well the Japs are still pretty based
Cooper Hughes
If selling at even higher price was going to make them more money, they'd be doing so already.
Adam Campbell
My GTX 5500 and 2 mobos popped their capacitors. Fucking CHINKED even before getting CHINKED was a thing
Bentley Johnson
Obscuring the intellectual property. We should do this more. Chink the chinkers.
Doesn’t China regularly bury lawsuits against its own industrial companies?

>as bad as trying to find a non-fake SD card online Fuck now i wish i had one of those brainlet wojak images to reply with. Avoiding fake microSDs is very easy unless you're a retard.

> China steals fake DRAM specs > Market gets flooded with cheap, but defective RAM and SSDs
Brandon Morales
>made in Chyna DRAM I can't wait for the fresh batch of exploits and defects. Letting Chinks become this much of an electronics giant in the first place was a mistake.
Cameron Murphy
Detecting defective RAM is a lot easier, either it will fail a memtest or just won't work.

>Use your state owned and subsidized company to buy Micron cause you're decades behind >Fail >Literally bribe Taiwanese engineers to physically steal trade secrets >Sue Micron for antitrust and threaten to ban them from your market >Laugh to the bank as retards take your side because they want cheaper goods
Why are you dumb fucks falling for this? This is China waging economic war against West and rest of Asia. If you are not an obedient mandarin mainlander you are the enemy.

้what about the shark meme?

In the end, we're to blame for this. We don't want to spend a few more dollars per unit and leave it made in the US. Plus, we won't hold our crony capitalists accountable for taking more and more of the pie for themselves.
Nathaniel Lopez
Two things are happening here > Greedy ass mem manuf are price fixing again like they have 3-4 times in the past and have been CAUGHT/TRIED/FINED for it. > Chinks are trying to steal IP
No honor among thieves. The chinks supposedly were going to give them a pass if they they handed over the IP. They didn't hand over the IP so they went in and stole it. Micron then waged a suit against them for their crime. The chinks then waged suit against them for price fixing. Both are guilty.
How about Micron stop producing shit over there and bring it to the U.S where IP laws are respected? Guess not because they're greedy two faced faggots. No one is right here so the most ruthless son of a bitch will win.
RAM PRICES ARE BLOATED AND FIXED TO FUCK CONSUMERS ATM by almost double. That needs to be addressed. China's theft of IP does to but I see these greedy corps keep building factories over there like niggers.
In the end were not to blame for a corporation going to IP theft land to fatten its margins and then price fix like niggers. Try again
Leo Flores
>How about Micron stop producing shit over there and bring it to the U.S where IP laws are respected?
IP law is respected in Taiwan and Micron has significant US manufacturing anyways, retard. Chinese agents have physically stolen data and trade secrets in the US as well you god damn oxygen thief.
Camden Cruz
> mfw the chink dram finds its way into Taiwan products We'll see once the memory comes churning out of the chink factory.
All together, both were being niggers. The dram manufacturers are price fixing and the chinks stole their shit. What point do you have beyond these facts? They acted like niggers and a bigger nigger .. niggered them.
Carter Scott
I don't want to pay $200 for 8GB of RAM because the three jews making it are causing an artificial shortage or whatever. I don't care what or who fixes this problem as long as it gets fixed.
Carson Robinson
in this case the chinks should win unless you're fine being cucked when it comes to ram
>Rig prices against consumers >Commies come after you >Scream commie in the hope of winning back consumers
Looks like you shouldn't fuck off your customers right?
Kevin Robinson
north? Definitely.

Thankyou based china

>Chicks use market and state power to drive the Korean cartel out >Use low cost labour and protectionism at home and abroad to undercut everybody else >Now the chicks have a RAM monopoly to go along with syping-industral complex
Don't care, chips will be cheap as dirt for a while and I'll hoard as many as I can. Once prices rise I'll sell them all at huge markup. That or I could just short micron.
I got burnt by this shit once. Never buy Chinese again. Although the person who sold it to me was in the states and even had the goal to include a pamphlet pitching their own self-help DVD.
i got a $20 settlement check in the mail a year ago because of an artificial shortage/price fixing scheme in the early 2000s - i bought a DVD player in 2001

>This is an extremely risky high capital business, every government and their dog sues and blackbans companies in it - we got to keep the prices high AF just to make ROI . Competition, LOL, who wants to be in constantly in overseas court with entire investment on the line, new entrants run a mile
Josiah Perry
>The People's Republic of China is now the upholder of true healthy capitalism, bullying cronies and kikeish patent holders alike best timeline
Evan Thomas
How many times have these three RAM manufacturers been caught price fixing. Nothing seems to stop them going back to doing it each time they pay a fine
The American and European fines are so incredibly low it's way more profitable to keep doing it Hopefully the commie chinks will finally fine them a decent quantity, and their DRAM companies will get good enough to make stuff that isn't two generations behind
Easton Rivera
Whoever fuck up the ram cartel is good, even if they’re Chinese.
Henry Watson
Thanks

>expecting that consumers will benefit from breaking down companies that have experienced immense success from consumers that have willingly gave their money to them
lmao it's a government moneygrab and you all know it.
Alexander Barnes
They couldn't, because everyone else was already making profits and didn't want to rock the boat. Now everyone needs to get back the fines.
Jack Williams
Sharks are legit, i have bought multiple cards for smartphones and tablets and never had a problem. Wouldn't use one for heavy workloads like professional cameras though, I/O is too slow for that
Samuel Richardson
that just mean that you will pay even more for your rams in the future
The chinks have every reason to fine each company 8 billion straight up
if they are driven into bankruptcy all the better for the chinese ram manufacturers, so you can bet your ass that is exactly what china will try to do
Isaac Morgan
China having anti-trust laws
Ethan Cook
Don't worry, I still hate China's guts. I just get amused easily when someone fucks over capitalist faggots. But all of them deserve to walk the plank.
>have delayed capacity expansions to coincide with the introduction of Chinese-made DRAM What's so bad about this? It's a legit business strategy, are chinks this jewish and retarded?
