They're not though, there's a load of world happenings currently resulting in chipset shortages and increased energy pricing etc in many parts of the world.
- malfist 4y agoMaybe, but that doesn't impact existing hardware. So unless this upgrade includes things like newer CPUs or more ram/disk for a droplet that doesn't apply, and as far as I can tell, the hardware I started on 4 years ago is the same. At least they've not advertised any new CPUs or increased disk or ram.
- AdamGibbins 4y agoIncreased energy prices absolutely impacts current hardware, especially given older hardware tends to be more energy intensive.
- tedunangst 4y agoSo the $5 I was paying for a droplet was all for electricity? DO doesn't have a plan to recoup capex?
