Sure, with this extreme scarcity we can slowly stop looking at gaming cards as simple tech tools and toys, and start looking at them as individual collectible art pieces?

Reminds me of this little incident

Students left a pineapple at an art show as a prank. It became art.

My goodness. Is this article AI-generated? It hurts my head just to read.

Even if it were edited by AI, it wouldn't have this excessive use of dashes.

Yes, it's a bit annoying. Back on topic... I believe it's a side effect of the panic caused by the threat of tariffs hanging over our heads?

The quality of recent drivers also seems to be poor, but somehow I suspect that this is related to AI demanding/sucking up all the capable software engineers.
