Every DRAM manufacturer has pled guilty to price fixing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DRAM_industry_price_fixing

If we still have governments holding them accountable, then it will go down. If we don't, it won't

If you're able to have swap, Zswap is supposed to be better.

Zram is intended for devices with no swap

Why is that surprising?

The push for more data centers has just been to fleece investors. There isn't any organic demand for the output from them

Have to be careful, though. You need a curated social media presence...

Not having social media is considered suspicious in the US https://papersplease.org/wp/2025/05/30/us-state-dept-says-silence-or-anonymity-on-social-media-is-suspicious/

Same for fingerprint unlock

It had value, before it bought xAI.

Now there's an infinite money pit attached to it

Where in the source does Firefox expose machine-id to websites?

With a quick grep I'm only seeing it around audio?

Yeah, you can certainly get cheaper laptops, but if you're looking for similar build quality, it's not that much more

I would also say, for me, the peace of mind with how easy it is to fix is worth it. I used to stress over my wife or nephew or someone wanting to do something on my laptop, but now if they poke the screen with their finger I just think I can fix it in 5 minutes if they mess it up

ARM is still extremely fragmented.

When there are ARM vendors selling SystemReady at SR levels for a similar price to x86, it will be at the point it could take over

RISC-V RVA22 is interesting, but not a lot of options yet, either

Is there any chance he's self aware enough to know he just ate shit?

Looking at the rest of the AI landscape, I'd think they're overcharging themselves, rather than undercharging.

All the money then stays in the same collective pool, and xAI's numbers look better
