Back in March of 2025 I purchased 32GB of DDR4 for $62 for a system I was putting together. I just checked the other day and that same RAM is now $219. Man I got lucky. I had no idea back then RAM prices would spike this much. Like you I'm going to hold off on RAM purchases until this AI insanity bubble bursts. Same goes for all other components (SSD, NVMe, GPU, etc..)
Mind blown.
That's what "Space 1999" was preparing us for! (or so I thought)
I'm more worried about contaminating the Moon with Microsoft than I am with a few of Earth's microbes.
I had just turned five years old when the Apollo 17 mission happened. Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed that I would be 58 years old when humans finally decided to go back, but here we are. Makes me sad.
As much as I like to bash on Windows as the next guy/gal I gotta say since Windows 7 service pack 1 crashes in Windows had become nearly non-existent for me. My oldest son has been running Windows 10 for over 5 years with no crashes to speak of. My younger son has been using Windows 11 for a few years and his crashes have always been due to faulty updates from Microsoft. Windows got pretty stable around 2011 (minus the faulty update crashes as mentioned). I still maintain a Windows 7 box in the house for old software I need. That darn thing has been rock solid for over 15 years now.

Yeah, I found that statement odd too. Waiting around for ReactOS is akin to waiting for the next release of Duke Nukem. Any
Well at least someone can get their 11th version of something running correctly.
You idiots are going the wrong direction. I don't need my "digital life" to follow me around in the "brains" of my car.
Knees suck!
Taking "Live Long and Prosper" to the extreme. Good for him!
Make R. Lee Ermey the Marine Corps drill instructor avatar that lives within this thing. "You are a disgusting fat body Pyle!" I was amazed at how, in just three months, I went from an average fairly lazy teenager to a physically fit motivated beast during Marine Corps boot camp. As a bonus add "incentives" to do better like letting the mirror shock you when you are not sweating enough to reach your true potential or locking your AI cloud connected Samsung fridge's door when it deems you are too disgusting and fat. When the avatar notices you have gotten in your car and heading to a fast food joint it shuts down your AI cloud connected car. "Not on my watch maggot!"
The US is about 2% of the Earth's total land mass. That's a huge chunk of land. Of course there will be multiple large meteor sightings over the US in any given year. Meteors in the 3 to 6 ton range are estimated to enter Earth's atmosphere 2 to 3 times a month. That number is probably larger given the area of oceans where eyeballs are not present. This was a small one (1 ton according to article). Meteors in that range probably happen much more often.
SuperSlop 1.0 coming your way!
