Pretty sure all ram manufacturers are Korean? I guess China puts chips on PCBs, maybe? But South Korea has the knowledge . And it had met domestic demand. RAM prices have been acceptable for many many years.
It’s the AI sector that is inflating demand (maybe by circular investment and contracts).
So, I don’t see anyone investing 10 years into the future to make ddr6 ram where their business plan relies on current trends.

It must take so much R&D to achieve anything remotely comparable to what Samsung, Micron (/Crucial… RIP) and SK Hynix can produce.

Fingers crossed they can either undercut the 3(now 2) big producers, which is doubtful. But hopefully they can help reduce the maximum price that decent memory can inflate to. Because at some point a medium sized customer is gonna get fed up of the Samsung/micron/skHynix bullshit, and custom order the ram they need, and such a smaller producer will provide a much better service for a similar price

Only for multi CPU mobos (and that would be pinning a thread to a CPU/core with NUMA enabled where a task accessed local ram instead of all system ram). Even then, I think all ram would run at the lowest frequency.
I’ve never mixed CPUs and RAM speeds. I’ve only ever worked on systems with matching CPUs and ram modules.

I think the hardware cost and software complexity to achieve this is beyond the cost of “more ram” or “faster storage (for faster swap)”

EndeavourOS is nice. I’ve been using it for 10 months.
Only issue I had was that my windows dual boot messed up the booting. Plenty of tutorials about fixing it tho, so wasn’t too hard

I’m amazed it’s France before Germany.
But I’m also so happy that this is happening.
The greatest war in history and all the horrors behind it should never be forgotten/hidden/suppressed/rewritten.
Everyone commited atrocities in that war. Nobody is without stain.
Document it all, and make it all widely available

a high-risk warning from the UK’s NHS England Digital.

Huh, I didn’t think the NHS would be doing security research like this

Haha, same.
Had a dual tuner pcie card.
Had a great library of recorded movies, had it all set up to rip DVDs, photos were backed up to it and a slideshow album was set as the screensaver.
I just missed the netflix integration, and there was never any decent replacement for that unfortunately.
It was glorious.

Windows media center was really really good for live TV.

Yes, but they’ve put a fancy canopy thing over it to make it look like a seewiz

The planned obsolescence is most likely a deliberate trade off rather than actual planned obsolescence.

If fast charging did do significant damage to battery life and this was known at the time of implementation, the decision would have been “users want fast charging phones” Vs “users want devices that last a long time”.
In this instance, the convenience of fast charging absolutely would have won.

“Users want a clear and easy to use device” Vs “users want a robust device”. Which is why we all have glass screens, and the glass technology had to catch up to further expectations.

“Users want easy wireless connectivity” Vs “users want fast and reliable network speeds”. WiFi wins, and has to catch up to further expectations.

I like the extra challenge that it’s over water!

There is a statue in Glasgow that always has a traffic cone on its head.
The council regularly removes it, and its always replaced.
It’s had different variations over the years, from pride to independence to EU flags.
The council proposed a renovation of the statue including raising the plinth to make it harder to replace the cone. It was shot down with massive public outcry.

Because WASM is a VM in terms of isolation.
Docker is just chroot with marketing (and tooling & ecosystem).

So, the idea of wasm is something that could actually run anywhere, without everything required to prop up a docker/k8s runtime

Massive Linux lore dumps going on, and I love it.
Thanks for correcting me.

Yeh, I think it’s actually “switch user do”.
Like “su” is “switch user”.

The default being root is handy.

Um, akshually it’s a DNS issue not a router issue.
I think.
It looks like a router issue. But it’s always a DNS issue

I installed endeavouros on my windows laptop.
The installer guided me through the partitioning, setting up systemd-boot, and it was all great.
I had to disable bitlocker in windows (not that bothered about) and secure boot in bios (also not that bothered about).

Ran smoothly dual booting both for about 4 months.
Then a windows update hit, and fucked the boot.

Thankfully, this is a common enough thing that there are plenty of tutorials out there.
A liveUSB of endeavouros, some tinkering, and I was back up and running.

The cause seems to be FastBoot, where windows keeps the boot partition mounted. What I think happens is that bios tries to read the boot partition, which is configured/loaded for windows (because it never cleaned up after itself due to FastBoot being on) and boots into windows.
Since turning off FastBoot, I haven’t had any issues in the past 8 months.

Steam took the cap off the toothpaste tube.
Microsoft is giving the toothpaste tube a good squeeze!
