Unfortunately, RAM production is not something you start up on a whim. There are only a few players and adding new capacity is a very long process. They won’t do that unless they’re convinced that the market will still be there in a couple of years.

…said the n word in an unprovoked rant about black people, then praised trump for allowing him to feel comfortable saying it again…

There’s the whole MAGA movement summed up in one sentence.

One of my exes once sent me a Facebook friendship request more than 10 years after we’d split up. I’m still traumatised.

My parents never had my best interest in mind. All they cared about was letting up appearances to the outside world.

I’ve seen tram drivers do incredibly stupid things. But yeah, they generally stick to the rails.

The people who knock self driving systems often forget how dumb a lot of drivers are.

My work computer runs Windows 11, but our IT guys have turned off pretty much all the annoying bits, so it works pretty OK.

Common sense has been in short supply throughout human history. The guy wrote this book because he observed people doing lots of dumb shit.

Exactly. I have a PC and a Steam Deck but I’ll buy it if the price isn’t completely off-putting. It’s just perfect for the living room.

I’ve met plenty of Ph.D.s that were pretty dumb. So that figures.

Those aliens from the future will be so amazed when they find a disc with 360 TB of cat videos.

Yep. Definitely both.

Who needs insects anyway?

Absolutely not. Farming isn’t anywhere as romantic as those city slickers think. I’d certainly like to get off the hamster wheel but shovelling manure isn’t anywhere on the list if things I’d rather do instead.

A bit isn’t represented by a one or a zero, that’s nonsense. A bit can take the state of a one or a zero and is represented in various ways in digital circuitry.

So what do bits represent then, if not ones and zeros?

…disrupt tiny bits of data stored in the computer’s memory, switching that bit – often represented as a 0 or 1 – from one state to another.

Top notch science journalism there.

Attack now, soldier, or I’m going to have you shot!

One wonders why young people are so slow on the uptake these days, doesn’t one?

What are you, some kind of Luddite?
