  RAMaggedon is real! The current console gaming industry is scary — it’s on the edge of real trouble. AI companies and data centers are vacuuming up so much RAM and high-bandwidth memory that Xbox and PlayStation are getting crushed on costs, prices, and sales. Key facts right now (mid-2026): - AI data centers are projected to consume roughly 70% of the world’s memory chip production this year (IDC / Wall Street Journal reports). The three big memory makers (Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron) have shifted capacity heavily toward High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) for AI accelerators because those customers pay far more. - Console memory and storage costs have already jumped more than 2.5×. Microsoft expects them to roughly double again by fall 2027. - Xbox price hikes: Microsoft just announced another round (effective August) — $100–$150 increases. Series S 512GB goes to $499, 1TB to $599; Series X 1TB models hit $750–$800. This is the third major hike in a little over a year. Consoles are now 30–40% more expensive than a year ago. - PlayStation price hikes: Sony already raised PS5 prices by as much as $150 earlier in 2026 (standard models around $650, Pro near $900). - Sales collapse: In May 2026 (U.S. Circana data), PS5 unit sales dropped 58% year-over-year — lowest May total in 25 years. Xbox Series hardware recorded its worst May on record. Average price paid for a new console hit $502 (up 14% from last year). - Next-gen hardware is in limbo: Reports indicate Sony is considering delaying the PS6 successor as far as 2028 or even 2029 because of the memory costs. Analysts warn the next Xbox/PS could launch at $900–$1,200 if the crunch continues. Overall console shipments are forecast to fall ~19.5% in 2026. The old console model — subsidized hardware while making money on games/services — is breaking because the same silicon that used to get cheaper over a generation is now being bid up by AI hyperscalers who can pay almost any price. Microsoft is on both sides of this, with their huge AI data-center spender and being the Xbox maker, which only makes the conflict more obvious… and I can tell you Xbox is losing in this internal battle, big time! Gamers are already feeling it in higher prices, lower sales volume, longer current-gen life cycles, and uncertainty about when (or at what price) the next boxes arrive. Console games are expected to hit $100 and that’s not even a physical game either. RAMaggedon is real, and consoles are one of the biggest casualties so far. The thumbnail of this post was made with AI. It took less than a minute and looked better than most manual edits. Some people will call it “AI slop.” Those are the same people with their heads buried in the sand while the rest of the world adapts. Call them what they are: digital Luddites — proudly getting left behind. But this is the real problem (not the Luddites). AI is pretty amazing to use. It’s a massive time-saver and can achieve results that only a handful of big movie / gaming studios could previously afford. Now every home computer owner has the power to create — because of AI. I’ve seen comments on X saying the AI bubble will burst just like the video game crash of the 1980s or the .com bubble of the early 2000s. Realistically, that’s not going to happen this time. We have to accept that. So where does this leave console gaming? It’s not dead yet, but it will be very soon. Which is really sad. There has been a massive shift to GeForce NOW — NVIDIA’s cloud gaming service — which now has over 30 million users streaming PC games from NVIDIA’s servers. Is this the direction gaming is heading? I must admit, even though I’ve owned PlayStations (the PS2 is still the best PlayStation in my opinion) and Xboxes, the Xbox Series One S was the peak for me because it has a Blu-ray player. Our household (still uses 3 of them) likes playing physical games and movies, and that lets the whole family do exactly that. Personally though, I’ve already made the move 100% back to my Commodore 64 and Amiga. The combined game library is probably 30,000+ titles. The gameplay is often superior to many new games, and the fun level? Yeah, that’s usually higher too. Time Extension (February 2025): “14 Percent Of North Americans Still Play Gaming Systems Released Before 2000.” That works out to roughly 26–35 million people, depending on the exact population figure used. Let's take a step further, that’s an estimated 80–120 million people worldwide who have moved to retro gaming. That number will surely double as the console RAMaggedon escalates. For Commodore fans we have options: original hardware on eBay (or in your attic), TheC64 from Retro Games Ltd, the Commodore 64 Ultimate from the newly formed Commodore Corporation (and it’s pretty amazing), and the upcoming TheA1200 from RGL later this year. The cost is lower and there are games still being made for Commodore 64 and Amiga 40 years later. It is a vibrant and exciting time to be a retrogamer and the appeal will continue to grow. Have you made the move yet?

  @mkeolver If you are suggesting something like the way the EBay stalking victim couple managed to fix their situation…….they were helped massively by police while I have been stalked massively by police. Big difference. But I have a sense what you are referring to is analogous to how the EBay stalking victim couple collected information and license plate numbers and took it to the police who then traced it thru rental car agencies and so on and built a case. Since the police are the criminals in my case, I obviously can’t go to them the way the EBay couple did.

  Loneliness. (@xXBIOwarfareXx) reported 8 minutes ago

  I will clarify that apparently normal math says radiation can't cause this melting, and as said I do not have the case or front/clock back anymore, I do have the electronics and motor but I keep checking, there's no beta/gamma, so again unless it was alpha, but first picture is of it, second is of the one off of eBay, third is how I had them initially in my garage and is the best side by side with the clock that has radium but can I ask if there is a possibility I have deliberately not been given information?, there is more I can say on this but, my guess is that it almost looks like the one that did it may have sat on top of the one with radium? Also I don't know if they were plugged in at all or how long, which I think might make it worse but does it almost look like the radiation was attracted to the clock? If it was on top of should mean a reduced chance of radon(there is a thought on that as well(not blank)) and I don't know ventilation but also then alpha should have issues making to through the plastic?(Correct?), which points to beta gamma again. There's the option of just indirect heat to melt it but it still looks weird, also again nothing visible on the electronics of heat and nothing there but the clock. I have thought of things from the factory? Or what the exact "lighted dial" means, there was a clear?, portion I would have thought was LED but could it have been more?(There's no way there's tritium right? I didn't turn it on, and also wouldn't explain the melting?). I have also thought of cigarette residue, but I feel it still wouldn't explain I'm assuming a dose of anything from 0.25-0.5Sv, if it has to be done at one time and for there to be a timeline. I also have other thoughts of "how military connected" or otherwise this is because can you spot at least one more interesting connection?

  BREAKING: “The Great Card Collector Uprising” Erupts at the 2026 National CHICAGO — What was supposed to be the biggest weekend in the hobby turned into absolute chaos Saturday afternoon as thousands of frustrated collectors reportedly staged a mock “uprising” inside the 2026 National Sports Collectors Convention. Witnesses claim the trouble started after a dealer allegedly placed a $4,800 price tag on a base rookie card that had just dropped 60% in value the week before. Within minutes, collectors began chanting: “COMPS! COMPS! SHOW THE COMPS!” The crowd reportedly marched through the convention carrying homemade signs reading: “No More eBay 1-of-1’s!” “Stop Calling Everything Grail!” “Wax Shouldn’t Cost My Mortgage!” The biggest confrontation occurred when several breakers attempted to livestream a five-case break while collectors demanded the boxes be sold at MSRP instead. Security reportedly diffused the situation after someone offered everyone free penny sleeves and top loaders. Perhaps the strangest moment came when dozens of PSA submission forms were tossed into the air like confetti as one collector shouted, “We’re grading memories now!” Several dealers attempted to calm the crowd by announcing “Show Specials,” only to be booed after revealing the discount was $5 off a $3,000 card. By late afternoon, convention organizers restored order after opening an emergency trade zone where collectors agreed to settle disputes the old-fashioned way—arguing over centering while swapping cards. No serious injuries were reported, although several wallets were said to be “critically depleted.” One exhausted attendee summed up the day perfectly: “I came looking for a bargain… and left with three boxes of wax, buyer’s remorse, and a dream.” Convention officials later confirmed attendance remained strong and described the incident as “the most passionate debate over cardboard we’ve ever witnessed.” 🚨 This story is completely fictional and intended as satire.

  @eBay @depop eBay Authenticity Guarantee returned my $615.60 luxury purse crushed inside a box far too small for it Box size was 7×12×5 Purse size was 9×12.5×3. The item left my location undamaged and it passed outbound authentication to the buyer. The buyer decided they change heir mind and went back to eBay Authentication. eBay Authentication stated the item was the same as went it sent it. However, it came back destroyed from eBay Authentication becasue they stuffed it in a box too small for the purse. Their own policy says they cover damage at the authentication facility. Their response? Offer 50% and tell me to fix the purse they damaged by “stuffing it, reshape the leather, put on some conditioner and brush it out.” I’ve sold vintage leather for 20+ years. Structured 25-year-old vintage leather does not "stuff, reshape and simply buff" out after being smashed. This is the real problem: when eBay’s process causes the damage, the platform’s cheapest move is to push the time, cost, and labor back onto the seller. Most people give up. That is why sellers keep spending their time fixing problems eBay created. The first photo of this purse is what it look like when I shipped it out. The other three photos is what the purse looked like after eBay Authentication smashed it in a box that was far too small for the purse and then sent it back to me.

  If GameStop acquire eBay at a cheap revenue multiple but the market still assumes margins stay trash, the deal looks expensive on earnings which is probably why eBay turned it down. 🤡 Ryan Cohen’s bet is that once eBay’s under GameStop’s cost structure, they can crank those margins way up. Higher margins make the EBITDA multiple look a lot more reasonable. ✅ $GME x $EBAY

  @fasc1nate You can have a forever bulb too; just run any incandescent bulb at 1/10 it's rated power, like this bulb. The downside is you will pay much more for lighting, since efficiency goes way down when the blackbody radiation peak drops below the visible range. In simpler terms, when you run the bulb cool, paradoxically a larger fraction of its energy goes to produce heat rather than light. Before LEDs, this was considered a good trade for street light bulbs, since they are expensive to replace and a burned out bulb could cause an accident. You can probably still buy an old 20,000-hour streetlight incandescent bulb on eBay, but you won't want to, because it costs too much to run.

  1/ Earlier in his OpenSpec series, Austin Xu (Senior Engineering Manager at eBay) flagged a problem: agents ship changes in seconds, CI feedback shows up 20 minutes later, and by then the agent has moved on to the next task. He named @signadot as a possible fix. Then he actually tested it. His new post covers the full setup: live integration checks running inside the agent's loop, validated against real services, with the full eval log published. Really appreciate him putting in the work to do such a thorough evaluation. Link in the comments 🧵

  @ChiefEngineerCE DDR4 and DDR5 get good money on Ebay, especially 8GB and up sticks. Youll get $5-10/GB for used ram, most of the time. DDR3 and down is ewaste. Youll occasionally run into people paying a mint for very very specific ancient ram modules, but thats needle in a haystack stuff and usually not worth it.

  Gary Vee explains why 3 to 4 NFT projects will end up being the Jackson Pollocks of the 2021 era "When internet stocks came out in 2000, everything was worth a trillion dollars even if the company did zero revenue. Then April 2000 hit and all of it went to zero, companies going from $500 a share to three cents. But the handful that were legit, Google, Amazon, Ebay, Paypal, got dragged down to $3 and then went on to become some of the biggest companies in the world." "NFTs are the exact same thing. Everyone got confused and thought all of them were worth a million dollars, when most are worth nothing, just like trading cards. But there will be 3 to 4 to 7 projects from that 2021 era that in 20 years are the Jackson Pollocks and the Andy Warhols. The only question is whether you're good enough to pick the winners."

  Wall Street's latest analyst calls yesterday. 8 upgrades. 6 downgrades. Here's what stands out. The biggest upgrade: • Deutsche Bank flipped $PLTR to Buy with a $200 price target. After months of AI skepticism, the smart money is coming back to the name everyone gave up on. The biggest downgrade: • JPMorgan cut $NKE to Underweight with a $40 target. Consumer discretionary weakness is what JPM is watching. DZ Bank also downgraded $AAPL to Hold. What this tells you: • The upgrades are in AI (Palantir), industrials (Eaton), and pharma (Madrigal). These are sectors with real earnings acceleration. • The downgrades are in legacy consumer names (Nike, Walmart, eBay). The economy is not falling apart, but consumer spending is rotating. This is not a market that is breaking down. This is a market that is reshuffling. Money is leaving overvalued consumer names and flowing into AI, infrastructure, and healthcare. Wall Street is still net bullish.
