hard drives are still limited by an increasingly obsolete ~300mbps transfer rate in the best of circumstances and they're both totally ripe for a new technology to wipe them out. i don't really know if quantum chungus crystals would wipe out hard drives, but it would definitely wipe out tapes.

I think they've used dual-actuator trickery for the past few years to nearly break through the SATA speed barrier, but nothing about HDDs is ideal except for $/TB and having some better characteristics than tape.

Western Digital quietly producing dual-actuator disk drives (2023)
The performance compared to the HS560 is up to 2x sequential throughput, meaning 582MBps, up to 1.7x random 50/50 read/write performance and up to 37 percent more power efficiency (IOPS/watt, random RW 70/30). Seagate’s twin actuator Exos 2X14 delivers up to to 524MBps. An Exos 18TB drive pumps out up to to 554MBps.

On that note, Samsung has apparently denied that it will end SATA SSD production. We'll see if that one holds up.

No, Samsung Isn’t Phasing Out of the Consumer SSD Business as the Korean Giant Denies Ongoing Rumors (archive)
The rumor regarding the phasing out of Samsung SATA or other SSDs is false.

No one targeted by this meme should have still been using 8 GB of RAM in 2025. Even 16 GB was pennies.

You aren't wrong. I even upgraded my laptop to 16gb. Though buying new cheap laptops will probably be stuck at 8. It's more of a future problem

Um, what?

Also, how about they make an official online reader that sucks less than the pirate sites.

If you chop off the 2005 bit, it's accurate to VRAM.

I'm gonna guess he meant Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia, Google, and Amazon. Though I personally prefer the Facebook, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia (FAGMAN) group.

I'm absolutely certain that all of those companies have been waging asymmetrical warfare on the developer community to try and exclude anybody who isn't just a yes-man.

At this point the only people left on the android app and microsoft cloud development sphere are indians and the chinese and neither has the cultural capacity to understand user experience. The thought of telling a developer their software is bad is legitimately out of scope for the current paradigm.

So far I'm stuck between "Nvidia drivers are shit" to "I somehow mounted it wrong" to "the device is faulty" to "I fucked up the PCIE"

I had an issue with my new GPU a couple weeks ago, after having it installed for a month. Whenever usage shot up for a couple seconds monitor output would go out, then Windows would crash. Bullshitting with drivers didn't do anything so I tore the GPU out.

I reseated the 12VHPWR connectors on both ends and bent the cable to make sure the length leading to the GPU connector wasn't touching the glass panel. I also extended the GPU sag dildo a little bit, since the PCB seemed a little bit off-level before taking it out. Haven't had that crash happen since doing this.
 
Im legit daydreaming about China start publicly executing scammers on Temu to gain trust then start selling domestically made memory sticks on the global market.

I am sick and tired because of the globo homo elite ceaseless discharging capitals in the AI techbros asshole.
 
Yeah kinda funny... west all about free market n' shit but soon as china catching up all of a sudden the globo homos don't wanna play capitalism anymore and start swinging with sanctions. I still had grudge against the usa when they gutted Huawei by the spying allegation...

Now i fucking hoping the yellow bastard stolen enough IP and know how to jump start their memory manufacturing and securing at leats 15% of the global memory productions.

Silicon manufacturing and design has been a closely controlled cartel for decades at this point. These corporate slugs, the inbred Indian middle managers, the techbro ket fiends, the geriatric ghouls, have gotten fat and lazy in this rot economy and they need to get their shit rocked. China is a serious world power and everyone keeps pretending that they're not, that all they do is steal hurr durr tofu dreg, and it's already biting the West in the ass. It will get significantly worse before it gets better.
