So it‘s going from basically unaffordable to absolutely unaffordable?

No, from unaffordable to unavailable. I’m increasingly having a harder time to find anything in stock. The SSD market is becoming a Sahara desert. Most GPUs aren’t even in stock even with the ridiculous prices. AMD is currently re-viving 5800x3d, can’t even find one where I live.

EDIT: Note that I’m talking about my own location and stores, which were always stocked of everything (somewhere in Baltics), now everything seems to be running dry

I recently made a 4GB swapfile on an RPi zero 2W to run a task. I’m not proud (ok maybe a little). I’m sure I reduced the life of that sd card by a few years.

That’d be funny, though at that point you’d start paying more for shipping those larger, heavier components.
