RAM prices are ridiculous

Not long ago 3D TV was the big thing. Who remembers that?

I suppose no conversation about aliens, pyramids, Rockefeller and toe ons ou dae was skaap nie so duur nie.

I avoided those at recent inlaws gathering.

But yeah, even they had to grok it up. Ugh.

I hope so. I can't speak about it, but 2025 has been quite controversial in concern about AI use in 'commerce'. This applies to things passing by in my day-to-day activities. I don't know about other people.

All I know is, any business incorporating generative AI, should train their people on how to use it. Clients aren't all that receptive to slop. It is like appointing a lazy person. What I have seen is garbage in, garbage out, and this includes reliable data that has its accuracies stripped. It is really disappointing, to be honest. Why companies are going down this path I dunno, and this isn't everyone, but eh... So yeah, I hope that it is a phase.

I use analytical AI almost every day, and it has accelerated my productivity.

Fake. Pentium Pros came bundled with at least 32-64MB of RAM. Had that been a 386 which also ran Windows 95, you'd have had a good image there. Pentium Pro also ran poorly in Win 95 given 95 was a mix of 16 and 32 bit code. Windows NT was better suited to it. I know this image is a joke but a 386 DX with 4MB of RAM could run Windows 95 and was usable.

Nowadays to do the same thing as a 16MB system back then, you need 16GB of RAM.
 
Imagine having 12 x 64GB DDR4 memory sticks not doing anything. Imagine wanting to add another stick of memory to your daily runner. Imagine the 12 x64GB sticks are ECC LRDIMMS.

Then folks still ask me why I hate life sometimes.

The parallels are uncanny, you trying to teach me stuff again.

The point was Win95 with 4MB - this is the RAM price thread after all. Focus.

When Win95 came out, before it's launch, M$ did presentations saying that you'd not need more memory for Win95 than you used for Win3.1. 4MB was said to be over enough. I still even have a little Win95 pin that they dished out at the time where M$ tried wooing us. And yes, we ended up with 8 to 16MB.

The point was not the pixel 2nd top is the wrong colour or the font is wrong or - it's the fvckin 4MB.

Are you broken or what?
