  • Earlier this year I was considering upgrading my desktop to 64GB, but didn’t want to upgrade straight from 32GB to 64GB because I was using DDR4. If I was gonna buy an upgrade I wanted it to be to DDR5, but that would have involved a processor and motherboard upgrade that would have cost almost $500 combined (including the RAM). Ultimately I decided against it because of the cost (I don’t actually need a processor upgrade) and figured I’d buy down the line when I needed to.

    Now the RAM alone is the cost of the entire upgrade. Bonkers.






  • Idk if you’re just being a jerk or what but I’m gonna assume you’re being serious - the expectation might be the person trying to be responsible would say “that’s a stupid excuse” but instead they sit down and join the gaming person to stay warm. The joke is basically that the person chooses comfort over responsibility.















  • To be fair, this is not actually a graph of outages - it’s a graph of the number of users reporting outages. What’s more likely happening is that the service itself is working fine, but there is an outsized number of people having problems reaching the service, due to any number of unrelated factors (network congestion, individual device issues, temporary ISP outages or other internet hiccups)

    This could happen to any service if the number of people trying to access it multiplies. If 1% of the time someone tries to access a service, there is an issue (even temporary), and the number of people trying to access that service goes from 1000 people (10 issues) to 10,000 people (100 issues) then it looks like there is a huge jump in problems accessing a service, when really the service is working just as well as it was before.
