Weeknotes #86 (June 27, 2026)
Posted on:
Things I found, read, did, and produced this past week.
Things I consumed
The RAM shortages really hit hard this week across consumer electronics. That included:
- The Steam Machine that was fully revealed at $1049 for the 512GB model.
- The 3rd price increase for Xbox Series X which now goes up to $800 (compared to when it was $500 when it launched 6 years ago).
- A bunch of Apple devices including Macs, iPads, and others.
and it seems we have still not hit the hump of things starting to balance out, so it is likely to be years before things start cooling down sadly. At least in a positive light, none of my main devices are reaching end of life, so what this is likely to look like for me is just longer lifecycles between me upgrading.
