Thanks, good source, but I can read must faster than watch:

The RAM Shortage Comes for Us All
December 4, 2025
Memory price inflation comes for us all, and if you're not affected yet, just wait.
I was building a new PC last month using some parts I had bought earlier this year. The 64 Gigabyte T-Create DDR5 memory kit I used cost $209 then. Today? The same kit costs $650!
Just in the past week, we found out Raspberry Pi's increasing their single board computer prices. Micron's killing the Crucial brand of RAM and storage devices completely, meaning there's gonna be one fewer consumer memory manufacturer. Samsung can't even buy RAM from themselves to build their own Smartphones, and small vendors like Libre Computer and Mono are seeing RAM prices double, triple, or even worse, and they're not even buying the latest RAM tech!
I think PC builders might be the first crowd to get impacted across the board—just look at these insane graphs from PC Parts Picker, showing RAM prices going from like $30 to $120 for DDR4, or like $150 to five hundred dollars for 64 gigs of DDR5.

I had sort of a longer term need for a MicroSD and because the need wasn't pressing, had back burnered it until after Christmas. Seeing JG's vid, I hopped right on and ordered one, comes with an adapter I'll need, and while I like the SanDisk brand, I really got pulled in by the USB adapter, which is from Everything But Stromboli.
