Apple users are the least likely segment to stop buying the product even if they increase price by 500$. “Expensive and exclusive” is part of the brand.

Does it go something like this? Those companies who buy the NAND chips to make AI accelerators, SSDs and RAM for data centers are the Microns customers, like Nvidia. Even if they are in trouble and know that the datacenters are not being built, they can’t cancel the deals because that would call the bubble into question. They will have to take any markup deal that Micron gives, them because if they don’t there will be nothing for them nor Micron anyway.

absolutely loves the idea of everyone’s computer usage going thru giant corporations because the Chinese government owns part of every Chinese company and doesn’t need a backdoor since they have a set of keys.

We are still taking about NAND chips. Can you backdoor those? I would think you need to backdoor the controllers or smth at least.
