Every time I hit Microcenter I get mournful for the time when I could also hit up Fry’s on the way there. 😢

@paul I remember that. Good times, good times.
Send help I’ve travelled back in time.
@paul 2 800 ports!!
@paul Oh my, if anyone is still using a FireWire hard drive or DV camera I have news for them: you’re 25 years behind the state-of-the-art 🙁
@paul but don’t have the CaBLe for both versions?
I do…and various devices still available to plugin…
@paul You can always count on MicroCenter!😀
@paul surprised they’re not paying people to take them off their hands
AI can go all the way to hell. Limit 2!
@paul Wow. That’s crazy.
@paul Holy hell, that makes the Apple Tax on RAM look cheap!
@paul lol holy shit… I paid 1/3 of that for my 64GB DDR5 one year ago
@paul I was mad about spending $385 for 64GB a few months ago.
@paul On the upside, if you are patient you can buy this all back for a container of gasoline and a can of beans after the AI crash destroys the economy. So we have that to look forward to.
@paul omg ... I stuck 32GB of RAM (admittedly DDR4) in my Framework laptop earlier this year... it was £55 ($74 at current rates) ...
That pricing is insane.
@paul thank god i spent way too much money on memory in 2024
@paul we are making a killing in ewaste right now. Random shit we’ve had sitting in the back of the warehouse forever suddenly has RAM fetching amazing prices.
@Sonikku like even < DDR4?
@paul DDR3 is worth more than it was, but DDR4 is where we’re making real increases if I’m being honest.
Pulling stuff like this the other day and it’s like a total jackpot for us every time right now from old servers and business machines.
@paul $709?! Holy crap
