So fucking nuts. A couple years ago I found and bought a new pair of Corsair vengeance 16GB ddr4 ram sticks for $5 from a bin store. That same 32GB set is like $226 on Amazon.
This AI and monopolized ram bullshit has screwed up so much for consumers and it just keeps getting worse.
To be expected. A system that has more or less been out for around 4 years and now costs hundreds more than it was like a month ago, all while a new system (steam box) just released, even though they have two different main purposes, they overlap.
of course people who haven’t already bought one are just really likely to not buy one, or opt to wait a couple more years for a new version to release.
They’re usually knock offs. They aren’t trying to present themselves as an item made by Versace or whatever, but they knock off someone else’s idea or product.
That’s still a knock off by most any definition.
I feel this way about spicy things. Everything “hot” is just hot to the average schmuck from the Midwest. Anything spicier than that gets dumbed down to become that (like taco bell Diablo sauce) or becomes hard to find.
I really enjoyed when that Buldak 2x spicy chicken raman “challenge” became a thing, because that’s some great tasting raman and more in line with the normal amount of spicy I like to eat. Now I’m back to having to just order it online again.
Not at the range of things under 70 decibels.
Decibel scale is logarithmic, so down at around the 60 level, the difference between 30 and 60 is basically the difference between a normal conversation and someone whispering.
It was after Jesus asked them to move it because he wanted to have his birthday party near the end of the year so people could have an extended holiday. It gave time for people to travel to his party without having to worry about getting right back to work.
Hilarious and awesome, and proof that if the court sides with Sony any bit at all, that the system is completely corrupted.
