- jeffbee 11mo agoThey will probably sell Micron-label DIMMs to anyone who offers to buy 1000 of them.

And they're effectively saying they've had enough of running call centers, tracing lost parcels, weirdo customers who show up at the factory, running marketing campaigns etc. A consumer facing business is a lot of overhead, and since more and more hardware now has soldered ram, it is a shrinking business too. Shrinking businesses are super hard to run - it's far easier to grow a business than shrink it whilst maintaining the same margins.

I.e. turning your B2C channel into a single B2B(2C) enterprise customer.
