Kingbank's CXMT-based memory. It may not boast the best specs on paper, but for gaming performance, it's right up there.

I wish using #VRAM as #swap in #Linux was easy and safe. It would be even more useful now that the #AI bubble has caused a surge in the price of #RAM. Many desktop and laptop computers have a discrete #GPU whose dedicated memory is very much underused.

Il 70% della memoria mondiale va ai datacenter AI. Il resto? Briciole. I prezzi DRAM sono quasi raddoppiati in un trimestre, Raspberry Pi ha riprogettato il Pi 4 con due chip più piccoli per aggirare la shortage, AMD mette la "RAMpocalypse" nei documenti SEC ma dice "il consumer non è il nostro problema." Valve ritarda le Steam Machine.

NAND raddoppiato, produzione 2026 sold out, e alcuni vendor vendono PC senza RAM inclusa. TSMC non avrà nuove fabbriche prima del 2028-2029. La crisi è strutturale.

E io non mi potrò fare un nuovo PC prima del 2028.

L'orrore.

Jeff Bezos is saying the quiet part out loud. They want to kill local computing.

You will own nothing and be happy. You will rent your computing power from the cloud. You pay a subscription for the privilege of using a computer.

AI demand is artificially spiking DRAM prices and Big Tech is pushing "AI PCs," the squeeze is on to force us into a rental model.

Reject this future.

Keep your hardware local.

Run #Linux.

Own your data.

The "cloud" is just a landlord for your data.

Since people are continually posting about RAM prices, here's an offer:

2×8 GB DDR4 DIMM, free to a good home in the UK

DM me and let me know what you'll use it for.
