  1. :Erm: Chinese memory ban would cut off RAMpocalypse relief

    「 In a letter to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick made public on Thursday, the lawmakers urged the Trump administration to tighten restrictions on Chinese memory manufacturers, arguing that purchases of their chips by US companies would undermine Western memory makers and subsidize the People's Liberation Army 」

  3. On my way to #emfcamp2026 with 3x laptops for the exchange, plenty of ram in them but no hard drives (ran out of time to wipe them)
    Hope they get sued for shenanigans, and that no one separates them from their chargers!

  6. @gnome Please also include in #accessibilty poor folks who only have access to old #lowspec computers. I love the #gnome design but often have to install a distro using xorg with #jwm or #icewm for these folks. Please have options to reduce gnome memory usage to run like 300MB or lower. Lowest Ive been able to achieve is around 900MB on Alpine which was still a lot for my cousin's 3GB RAM laptop.

  11. Finished moving my #chimeraLinux dev stuff from a GMKtec NucBox M5 Plus (AMD Ryzen™ 7 5825U) #minipc to a GMKtec NucBox K11 (AMD Ryzen™ 9 8945HS).

    It's an order of magnitude faster even with the slow ass 32GB Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-4800 CL38 I'm running in that box currently because of the #rampocalypse

    I did away with the full local copy of the package repository and now just NFS mount directly from my local chimera mirror server. 10 Gbit LAN is fast enough 😎.

  15. Donald, if we make the bad guys in our highly rated "Silo" streaming Apple TV show Iranians, but also make it seem ambiguous because we still want Iranians to buy the iPhone, will you let us use CXMT blacklisted China-based memory chips?

    Oops, sorry if this was a S03E01 spoiler.

  17. Dear Valve: Sell the Steam Machine bare-bones - no RAM and no SSD, so people have the option to thief it from an old laptop or something. Your Super NES isn't worth the price rn.

  21. Can you guess which distro of #Linux I'm installing on my next laptop?

    ... Find out on Tuesday after I pick the fucker up from Raven ReTek! And yes, I'm buying an older laptop because a) #rampocalypse and b) the next version of MacOS is gonna be the last one that supports Intel binaries through Rosetta 2. So, I'm going to have to jump off the Mac train anyway.

  22. The RAMpocalyspse is certainly making the job of Linux evangelist easier these days. A good friend has a business and needed a computer for the office but was shocked by the retail prices now.

    He knows that I rehabilitate old PCs and asked if I had any spares. So I set him up with a MintBook Air from 2012. He's stoked. 💚 It's his first experience with Linux & I can't wait to get his feedback. 💻️

  24. RE: mastodon.social/@daringfirebal

    "we expect another doubling [of RAM prices] by the fall of 2027".

    I guess it's time to stop waiting for prices to come down. Time to buy what I need or plan to do without indefinitely.

    EDIT: time to buy RAM, VRAM, SSDs. I'm not interested in Xboxen.

  26. Lustig... AMD macht jetzt tataächlich richtig Werbung für den Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Ich bin da zum Glück raus, da ich mein System 2025 noch relativ günstig auf den kleinen Bruder 5700X3D aufgerüstet hatte. Aber ja, der 5800X3D ist schon gut, aber so ca. 229€ hätten für mich preislich eher Sinn ergeben.

  28. Xbox is increasing their prices again. Going up $100-200 per console. With the 2TB model discontinued. So it is now $500 for a Series S (launched at $300)

  30. Apple has substantially raised prices across multiple product lines in response to shortages of memory and storage. This has driven sharp increases in wholesale costs for DRAM and NAND memory - the so‑called “RAMpocalypse”.

  32. While Steam Machine was receiving the most online hate as a high-profile new hardware release, Xbox silently increased the prices of their consoles.

    Game Pass bang for buck worsened as well while Steam spoils you with regular -80% discounts.

    Wake up sheeple, slopocalypse affects all manufacturers and all retail products. Direct your frustration accordingly.

  34. At this rate DIMM modules and other RAM will have to be listed as separate high value items on our insurances 😟

    Time to add clauses on your policy schedule explicitly as "Installed or Uninstalled high-value computer memory modules" and ensure they are an all risks item.
