Rule 2 and 6.

but Micron, SK Hynix, and Samsung aren’t stupid:

No they are not, but it seems the industry has a bit of a gold digger craze, and think this AI thing will continue to grow forever.

the big box consoles will be replaced with computers.

I think you are wrong, the PC is dying, and the consoles will have even bigger advantage from mass production in the future.
Most people don’t care to maintain a PC just to play games, and most people don’t really have any other use for a PC anymore.
Even without subsidies from Microsoft and Sony, the current gen consoles were cheaper than an equivalent performing PC when they arrived. But in the future that may not be true, it’s all down to profit maximization, because there is no doubt a console can be sold cheaper than an equivalent performing PC.

I’m just a casual user today, I used to stress my computers to the limit, but not anymore.
So I most definitely would make very poor use of maxing my RAM.

Back in the day I loaded DVD 's into virtual drives in RAM, to make games load faster.
For some reason the Linux kernel works best with a swap disk, so I had that in RAM too, and of course temporary files.

These things are of course banal although they were extremely efficient back in the day, and this was a thing I learned already back in the 80’s where the Amiga made similar things possible.
Today with fast SSD drives I don’t feel the need, and to be honest I already have more RAM than I need. And since I don’t program anymore either, which I always found interesting to explore the capabilities of new hardware, I have become an “average” user. 😳

I always hated consoles, as a waste of a good computer you couldn’t do anything with but game.
But I think consoles will be fine, consoles are mostly for children, and they will get exclusives to drive up sales.
But this is a bad time to make a new console, still AFAIK both Sony and Microsoft are planning new ones next year?

Microsoft are sitting on huge stockpiles of hardware waiting for the data centers to become ready.

Absolutely moronic. 🤡

These data centers probably won’t get built,

Seems like everybody is playing 4D chess now. 🤥🤥🤥🤣🤣🤣

Good point, still there will be a massive amount of production capacity, and not enough customers to fill that capacity, so the prices will drop fast, as competition grows to utilize as much capacity as possible, because it’s extremely expensive to shut down factories, or run factories at below capacity.

People are staying with their old hardware longer

Absolutely 100% my experience too, my computer is a mix of 2-5 year old hardware, and I’m still on the AM4 socket which is 9 years old now! It is a newer motherboard but I started on that socket way back in 2017! The upgrade path for AM4 has been insane. 😋
In the 90’s I wouldn’t have a single component that was 2 years old.
IDK if that’s because I’m older, but definitely it seems the advantage of upgrading every year is diminishing, and the price is increasing. Sometimes I would even buy a new GPU 2 times in the same year. 😜

I wondering if there is any benefit for me in having all the RAM my motherboard allows for when this bubble burst, and Ram prices fall like a rock to rock bottom.

Until suddenly AI demand vanishes and huge orders are canceled, and the makers see themselves with loads of unsold stock, and the prices plummet.
I’d give it 6-12 months. But only time will tell.

Exactly, and I don’t, I call him god as in a concept, god with a capital G is a religious term as in an actual person and elevated position.
Gods only exist as delusions for the weak minded.
Omnipotent is religious belief, impotent is the result of not existing, not existing makes god 100.00% impotent.

👍

That’s what I mean by religious nut. Religion was very probably a major factor.

AFAIK the Kurds have been infamous for their tendency to stab each other in the back. It’s almost like the Kurds themselves don’t want to be part of a country called Kurdistan.
That however does not justify the oppression of Kurds, and that’s the part that is mostly protested against.
Also the Kurds don’t have it nowhere near as bad as the Palestinians.

How much can it cost? 10 dollars?

Apparently Google doesn’t care about good PR anymore.

Don’t Be Evil.
They have fully embraced it now.

Imagine the effort made to make this picture possible!

Maximum IQ? Sorry you lost me.
Are you saying Maximum IQ is a helpful for kicking innocent people?

This is to be expected from a third world poor country with few resources to take care of its people.
Those palaces, private jets and yachts do not pay themselves.
The rich are not rich enough, they need more MORE MORE!

The article is consistently misgendering her despite acknowledging she was transitioning.

transitioning to live as a trans woman

he was “battling with my gender identity

which he believed was conflicting with his Christian faith

She is obviously a murderer and a religious nut and a psycho, but that is not a reason to misgender her throughout the article, because that is demeaning transgender people in general.
Admittedly there is very little in the pictures indicating she was trying to live like a woman.
