The reason RAM prices went up 4x is that a massive amount of not-yet-manufactured memory was bought with money that doesn't really exist to be put into GPUs that haven't been made yet, to be installed in AI data centers that haven't been built, powered by infrastructure that may never exist, to satisfy demand that isn't actually there, in order to generate profits that are mathematically impossible.

Web push notification scams and how to block them
What is a Browser Notification Scam? A browser notification scam consists of fake messages that look like real notifications from websites. These scams deceive users into clicking on links that could direct them to harmful websites, phishing schemes, or malware downloads. The notifications often imitate real alerts, such as system updates, subscription confirmations, or attractive offers, making them hard to spot initially.
What is a Browser Notification? Browser notifications are messages that websites send to your device, typically showing up as pop-ups or alerts in the corner of your screen. These notifications can offer helpful information, like social media updates, reminders, or news alerts. When you visit a site that requests permission to send notifications, you’ll usually see a prompt asking if you want to allow or block these messages. While legitimate notifications can enhance your online experience, scammers have found ways to exploit this feature for malicious purposes.

Bars close and hundreds lose jobs as US firm buys Brewdog in £33m deal
Hundreds of people have been made redundant and dozens of bars have closed after craft beer firm Brewdog went into administration.
US beverage and medical cannabis company Tilray has bought the company's UK brewing operations, brand and 11 pubs in a £33m deal.
Administrators said the sale had preserved 733 jobs - but that 484 jobs had been lost and 38 bars had closed after they were not included in the rescue deal.
Tilray, which already owns several US craft beer brands, described the deal as a significant opportunity for growth in the UK and international markets.
The two firms are still negotiating for a deal on Brewdog's assets in the United States and Australia.
A very sad day. We always have a selection of Brewdog beers in our fridge. I really feel for those folks whose jobs are lost or at risk. Also for all those peeps who invested in the company.
10 great chain lubes to avoid unsightly rust and extend the life of your bike's vital components
Chain lube is an essential maintenance spray for any motorcycle that uses a drive chain (which is the vast majority). Chain cleaning and lubrication is an important step in chain care and should be part of your life as a motorcycle owner.
Modern X-ring or O-ring chains have built-in lubricant on the inside of the rollers but you still need to make sure the outside of the chain stays lubricated, too.
You will have likely been told by someone, possibly in the social comments below the promotion of this article, possibly by an influencer, maybe even a mate down the pub that you can just use gear oil and that chain lube is a con.
And the truth is, they’re right. You can put gear oil on your chain and then enjoy it flinging off all over your bike and clothing when you ride. You can opt for not lubing at all and either wipe your chain down with non-penetrating oil every single day or put up with an unsightly orange-brown finish.
Or for the cost of a couple of pints you can buy a formulated spray that’ll potentially last you months and get on with enjoying your motorbike. It’s up to you, but I know what I’m choosing!
This is my secret: Constand central Stand, ChainMate, Chain Brush, S100 Chain Cleaner & S100 White Chain Lube Spray. A perfect chain: cleaned & lubed - with no "fling" all over the back wheel / bike / me!
