    Memory prices are crazy. I bought 96GB of DDR5 6400Mhz sticks for $320 back in February. Now it’s $750.

    Every time I decide to upgrade my damn computer something like this happens, come on i7-5820K, just a little longer, the prices will drop any time now…

      I got 2x32 GB for 200 € in April. Seems okay for something I am going to use for 10 years again. It was a i7 4790K to Ryzen 9 7900X transition.

    Fuck AI. There is a use case for simple apps like chatgpt.

    But, for most things you don’t need AI. Things like chat support for product/services, vibe coded app/website. Its all crap.

      The use case for those is doing what we could do on the internet 15 years ago ourselves but it has been so bastardised that it is too inconvenient now.
