I had a squiz, so I had gotten a Samsung 2666MHz DDR4 16GB stick back in early October 2025 and it was AUD52.23
Looks like if I look around hard enough they’re about AUD80-90 now, so while that’s still a relatively large jump, it’s not anything like the desktop memory has been.
I think even so, if my ThinkPad continues to have issues I’ll live with the 8GB for now and wait out the price hike.
I had the same thing yesterday - I had bought a 16GB DDR4 stick in the before times for my ThinkPad and now it’s been behaving erratically and unpredictable. I’ll run a memtest at some point, but it might be going back to its original 8GB for a long time…
I was going to mention about this whole thing with Winnebago and a driver assuming cruise control was FSD, but turns out that story is completely false. My father told me that story 10 years ago and I never thought to fact check it…
It was one of Aldi’s limited run items and I bought them like 5 years ago. I haven’t seen them back at Aldi since but that’s pretty usual for those limited items
I’ve got a '95 Mazda 323 and as much as I love that car, mine is an absolute bastard for not having any cupholders whatsoever.
It has this little cubby under the radio and its supposed to actually have a tray that slides out but the previous owner installed a kill switch there which I guess interfered with the tray, so she decided the only cupholders in the vehicle was a worthy sacrifice rather than having her auto elec move the switch down 2cm or anywhere else in the vehicle.
Many drinks have been served to the carpet.
Anyway those plastic door trim cupholder things were a godsend when I found them at an Aldi.
OP has done something weird with the comment because for me the link comes to lemmy.dbzer0.com/digg.com - both of you have LW home instances so the URL is incorrectly being parsed as an instance link?
Yeah, I’m not disagreeing with you, more so making a comment on how it never occurred to me they were that old today.
That being said, by the time I was playing with 775 computers they were pretty out of date (2013) and by 2015 all of those machines were replaced at my school. So in a rational sense that explains the time disparity I feel for Socket 775.
Having Socket 775, Puppy Linux and genuinely old hardware in the sentence shook me.
I still remember being in high school playing Minecraft on those Optiplexes, and even before that playing Poptropica and CoolMathGames…
As if constantly pushing more AI slop into their software while making no real improvements wasn’t enough…
Reading the article, I don’t see how AI code was the fault in this situation. They let a developer certificate lapse without renewing it, so actually seems more like a process or human error; either their systems didn’t flag for upcoming renewal sufficiently or the alert was ignored or missed.
Somewhat felt this with RoboCop - it’s referenced quite a bit in discussions but to me, the plot felt incredibly thin and I’m surprised it hasn’t been criticised more for this.
To me, it came down to cop gets brutally executed, revived by a dystopian tech company as a robot following commands, it starts remembering who it was in its prior life and swears revenge against its murderers, all the while he falls in love with his partner cop despite having a wife in his previous life who moved on after his death.
I get the dystopian undertones of it, but it all just felt incredibly cheesy to me.
Here’s the crux of the article for you.
In just two years, starting in 2022, residential electricity prices rose by 10%, while commercial prices increased by only 3%, and industrial electricity prices fell by 2%.
I perform isha kriya which seems similar but you have a yogi (in my case Sadhguru) repeat a phrase repeatedly for several minutes.
However the ending of it has about a 6 minute time of silence. Why do you ask?
I thought I’d step out of my Debian/Arch comfort zone by installing OpenSUSE on an Intel MacBook - Tumbleweed has trouble working with the Broadcom wireless adapter, and Leap straight up kernel panics because it can’t find root on boot.
It’s been actually educational and almost nostalgic in that it makes me feel like a total Linux noob again as I try to navigate zypper and YaST.
Once I get it working this meme will feel extremely relatable.
I know this is said in hindsight, but the way the first paragraph is written sets off alarm bells of weird reporting, and I imagine probably was what triggered you to look into it further.
ASUS plans to produce RAM amid shortage problems, hoping to ease the rising costs of laptops and gaming PCs.
While I get that Asus naturally would want to be competitive, why would they (from an economic standpoint) care about ‘easing the rising costs’ of their products. They would have actual motives like trying to be independent of these major memory manufacturers.
Reports say the company is preparing to manufacture DDR5 memory by 2026.
2026 is in less than 5 days. If this instead said “by the end of 2026” or longer I’d have a better time believing that claim.
This is already happening. I couldn’t stomach watching such slop, but immediately following the Bondi shooting and Ahmed al Ahmed was shown tackling the shooter, videos were circulating that replaced Ahmed with a middle aged white man, presumably because the correct footage flew in the face of the far right agenda of Australia having a Muslim problem.
Perhaps I have too many devices, but here’s everything I got, in order of most used to least used:
Otherwise I have a few spare devices such as a HP ProDesk G7 (free), a Leader SN6 NUC (free), and RPi 4B 4GB ($40 back in 2018). I’ll probably give the ProDesk away as it used to be my server but I just found it too big for my liking.
I also have a vintage palmtop device (HP Jornada 820) that I intend to hold onto and restore (restore the battery pack and 3D print broken keys and case parts).
That’s the first I’ve seen a HN web client. Why does it exist, and what’s the reason against linking directly to Y Combinator?
This whole article reminds me so much of the rogue AI sign found in Portal 2
