Fair point

It’s affected enough to cause a problem where the RAM is worth more than the entire rest of the device. New RAM and old RAM comprise the same total supply.

Seems like a good time to collect some free computers and then after the inevitable AI collapse, you can get free RAM, and boom, free computers for everyone.

DDR4 aren’t as affected
It is still very affected. That’s what the video is about.

And they won’t until they start charging users
Even after they start charging users they won’t, because who’s going to pay the absurd costs? Most consumers are doing whatever they can to avoid it or get rid of it.

The small guy gets pennies on the dollar, while the big companies rake in the profits. So honestly, let’s just abolish copyright altogether
Or we could not do that and actually solve the problem that causes those kind of splits…

Bro, where have you been!? LOL Pastrana has been crushing it since the 90’s (started in motocross) and these Gymkhana videos go back to the early ‘00s. It’s always been Ken Block but unfortunately he passed away in a snowmobile accident last year. I envy you because there’s like 15 Gymkhana videos you get to experience for the first time.
If you haven’t already, check out Channel 199 and Nitro Circus, lots of fun hooliganing with Pastrana.

I was doing the same thing last night, but a different game. Has happened many times before that. I take that as a sign that it’s time to take a break from that game.
- Comment on AMD and Nvidia are talking about local AI, good news for PC gamers and memory prices 2 weeks ago:
Doesn’t really make much sense. I mean yeah, privacy and all of that but think of the environmental impact of 1000 inefficient PCs vs. 1 efficient PC shared by 1000 people. Maybe just open source models hosted by a community would be better.

Once again, that has nothing to do with the conversation we’re having. The question was why they haven’t left Xitter.

Yes but they’re not, because Social Graph.

What does that have to do with anything?

About half a billion of them.

Lights or rather lack of them is bigger issue for me. Rats sitting in dark corners with shotguns is almost always death sentence.
I solved this problem by getting an OLED monitor 😂

Probably the same as always: look for a good deal on a used PC. Or buy all the used components and slot them together. The former is usually a better value.
