    DRAM Pricing Jumps 50%, Only 70% of Orders Getting Filled

    No one in the DRAM industry cares about crashing the market from over supply. They do it every half dozen or so years.

    Terminated employee cost company hundreds of thousands of dollars because nobody revoked access

    SOP for letting anyone in IT Admin go is to terminate their admin access (if not entire account) before they know they're being let go. The job I worked at with a formal IT dept had 2 buildings a mile or two apart, IT was centralized in one building with very few exceptions. Any time IT did...

    DRAM Pricing Jumps 50%, Only 70% of Orders Getting Filled

    This isn't entirely new. 5 or 10 years ago I remember seeing some company offering GPU-ish cards with m.2 slots onboard to give the cards additional storage that wasn't bottlenecked by overall system IO.

    And answered: Me: 1) Are they still seeking income/partners? 2) Are there any plans regarding the luminous mid-plate? 3) Tempered glass window for the S8? 4) Two tone or custom color coating options? Emil: 1) Yes. I can't tell you more than we are having discussions with some parties...

    SMA8-X was dual chamber, but with rotated IO slots for use with risers. They had a similar case with top/bottom chambers, a normal PCI orientation and 10 IO slots. Not sure what the model was "10" something. I think it and the SMA8 had the same chamber height (my SMA8 has enough space for 2...

    storage situation to ease starting H2 2027

    14.5 is probably the real world upper limit for an x4 5.0 SSD, it's about the same percentage down as what multiple previous generations toped out at. The general lack of wider ones is due to them needing 2/4x as many nand chips to fill the bandwidth. Even ignoring size constraints that...

    A bit of clarification about the planned first cases from discussion today. They'll be the SMA8A and S8 along with all parts they use. SMA8-X probably soon after, since only a few additional drawings would need updated. Current status is "SMA8-A is more or less 100% done and the S8 is almost...

    At least three exhibitors got robbed at Gamescom 2026 — laptops and handhelds with unfinished game builds stolen from locked cabinets

    OT, but calling a 25 year plan "lifetime" is implying some rather unflattering things about users health and habits. I for one resent the implication that I'm a fat basement dweller who subsists on junk and does everything in his power to avoid the baleful glare of the cursed daystar. The...

    What do you do with your old cases?

    I've averaged 2-3 uses out of most of my cases, eventually most end up obsolete and end up scrapped. Lack of cooling has been the biggest killer. All my 80 and 92mm fan ATX cases ended up junked for that as did early single 120mm front models. A few older 2x120mm front ones had lifespan...

    DRAM Pricing Jumps 50%, Only 70% of Orders Getting Filled

    I wish the reports were more specific as to how MS was raising the prices. Prior leaks of their large OEM pricing deals indicated that MS used both hardware specs* and nominal retail price to determine how much the Windows license would cost. Which has me wondering if they're bumping up the...

    DRAM Pricing Jumps 50%, Only 70% of Orders Getting Filled

    That seems like a mistake to me. Intel's not in a good position for a massive multi-year R&D effort, even ignoring the risk of the current bubble popping in a few years and them entering the market just in time for the ram supercycle to enter it's oversupply and crashing prices phase.

    GrapheneOS refuses to comply with new age verification laws for operating systems — group says it will never require personal information

    Even 15ish years ago that was what my security conscious employer did for international travel. Your normal laptop stayed at home, you were issued a loaner to use instead. To the maximum extent possible it was was setup to be sterile on the way out and to use cloud self hosted web services...
