    Decommissioned VM host my company was getting ready to toss out.

    It’s all DDR4, but even that shit is expensive now.

      I’ve lost a lot more than one.

      I can’t quite figure out the timeline of the jobs I’ve had. Memories of things that happened on those jobs don’t line up with when I think I was on the jobs. I feel like I have the order all mixed up.

      Recently, I was trying to remember the name of one of my old girlfriends. I can picture her clearly, but her name is gone. It will probably come to me at some point.

      This is shit you think about when you get old. If you want to remember these things, start a journal, and keep it. You think you can’t possibly forget, but you do.

      (Yeah, I know you meant memory sticks.)

    I bought my somewhat high-end PC in late 2025, two months before RAMageddon. Two people advised me against it. They said it wasn’t a good time to buy because prices were already a bit high. I’m glad I didn’t follow their advice.

      I bought my machine a week before the true ramocalypse. Prices were high, and 128GB of RAM was like 30% of my budget already, but literally the following week prices rose to the point that I would not have been able to afford any of that

      Fuck AI

      Yup that’s pretty much me… “Well I’ve got these ports and RAM isn’t expensive so let’s go!”

      Haven’t yet needed it really but it’s nice to know it’s there.

    I did my rebuild before January 2025 cause I thought DJT was going to fuck up world trade, I underestimated how shitty the AI Bros are.

    I have 16GB of VRAM too, baybee.

    Bought 128GB for €140 a couple years back, amazing deal looking back.

    I got rather lucky with my purchase timing, tho I was just getting more RAM to deal with my 1300 Firefox tabs.

    I got a 12 GB RAM S10…

    …not long after, I hear the news that the new flagships will have 12 GB RAM instead of 16 that were planned.

    The value sure went up.

    I still have 32 GB of DDR in my drawer from when I upgraded to 64. I am too afraid to sell it because my current ram might break.
