  • Yeah more or less. The Verge did a whole podcast episode on RAM over the holidays. It was a good explainer.

    Basically, RAM that goes into AI data centers isn’t necessarily the same as RAM in your computer. There are only 3 companies making RAM. They are altering their fabrication lines to accommodate for the commercial/AI ram so they can make more money. That means they can’t produce consumer RAM.

    It’s hard and expensive to build RAM and chip factories because there is one company that makes the machine that does it. So anyone who wants to stay a RAM factory is at their mercy.

    The Verge reporter said he expects ram prices might go up significantly more in the next 6months to a year.














  • Personally, I prefer not to be Nintendo because of Nintendo’s behavior, but the price is why they still struggle to sell these.

    They sold a ton right out of the gate. Everyone that really wanted one already got one. After that, they need parents and grandparents to get them for the kids and that isn’t going to happen as much.

    Nintendo was basically a “toy”. You could, for the most part, safely buy a Nintendo console for your kids at a somewhat reasonable price. (I know the OG consoles were a bit pricey).

    You could buy your kid a handheld console for ~$200 or less. The Switch 1 was $300, but you could still get your kid a Lite for $200.

    Now, the only option is a $450 Switch 2.


  • Which 3 SP albums do I like? Gish, Siamese Dreams, and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

    Siamese Dream is my favorite of the 3 and “Geek USA” is probably my favorite song of all time.

    The 4th album Adore has a couple good songs but that’s when their style started to change and they started breaking up. Chamberlain left prior to this album for personal reasons then Wretzky and Iha left bc Corgan is a dick.

    Chamberlain and Iha have come back recently, I think but Wretzky HATES Corgan and will never work with him again.

    So why do I like those albums so much? Mainly Jimmy Chamberlain. He doesn’t get enough credit for his talent. He’s the reason I fell in love with those albums to begin with.
