A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I didn't look into it in detail, but might this be more specific to RAM/video cards? With costs of those components skyrocketing, whoever is committing to buying those is going to have a hard time forecasting.
So maybe they're offloading that risk? Kinda like a futures contract, but for computer chips.
