I guess we unknowingly lucked out when the kid pitched getting her "college laptop" right before senior year of HS.

I had practical tech support aspects in mind when I agreed.

But while #RAMageddon was on my radar, like a fool I hadn't put 2 & 2 together.

I've always experienced near instant depreciation with tech as with cars.

Her laptop's replacement value went UP over the summer. 🫤

@kkolakowski usually I feel like developer experience gets neglected by Apple (just look at App Store Connect and all the Xcode quirks).
However, I'm wondering wether that improvement was driven by UX design instead of #RamPocalypse aka. #RAMageddon

I'm glad I upgraded my PC in 2023.

Got a new CPU, motherboard, and RAM from MicroCenter in an in-store deal at the time (their combo deals are insane even today) whereby I was given 32GB of DDR5-6000 DRAM for 1 penny. (Its list price in the store was $149.99.)

I just did a NewEgg search for the same DRAM kit and found it at $933.99.

@ClickyMcTicker
So you’re saying they’re completely different things, for different purposes?

Context: my understanding of both is limited. I currently run a number of apps/services under a mix of VMs and containers, and I’m looking for a setup that uses resources more efficently—especially in the age of #ramageddon.

Warum spricht bei der #Preisentwicklung niemand über #KI und #RAMageddon? Als ob niemand auf der Welt Computer benutzen würde! Ach so, stimmt, die @tagesschau benutzt noch Fax... https://ard.social/@tagesschau/116894926262867655

Memory prices are pushing up the cost of computers and game consoles — and that’s forcing some people to get experimental.

I spoke with Chris Person to discuss about how people are using e-waste and maintaining tech to avoid high prices.

Amazon quietly launches Fire HD 10 tablet with 4GB of RAM

Amazon hasn’t released a new Fire tablet since 2024, when the company launched the latest Fire HD 8. But, as spotted by AFTVNews, the company recently launched a new version of an existing tablet with a slight upgrade.

You can now pick up an Amazon Fire HD (2023) with 4GB of RAM for $155. Earlier models only came with 3GB.

For now, you don’t have a lot of configuration options if you want […]

Apple is hiking its hardware prices. Xbox consoles are going up again. Sub-$500 laptops basically don’t exist anymore.

On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke to Chris Person to discuss how the RAM crisis is coming for everyone — all thanks to the data centers.

If you hear anyone moaning about the recent #Apple price hike, please make it clear to them that this is *entirely* because of people paying to have ChatGPT lie to them or creating buckets of AI slop for their unfunny Facebook posts.

Why is Apple asking me to pay more for Big Tech’s AI obsession? | The Verge

#AI #Apple #RAMageddon

Top decision-makers in government and #bigtech have decided that the entire computing industry, other than "Big AI", can fuck off and die.

No one considers computing an essential industry. No country with fabs/foundries have made any real effort to protect general computing from price gouging and collapse. Instead, they feed their #AImafia friends and take their cut.

Remember that. These people have names and faces.

The Mac I priced up last week for £3,999 now costs £5,199. The one I priced at £6,978 is now £9,699. Didn’t get round to pulling the trigger, fool.
