Top Story

Look around, find the worst price! But don't buy before you come to Micro Center because we can't be beat! Our prices are insane! (WCCFTech)

And not in a good way. Elsewhere it would cost you an eye-burning $1600 to buy 128GB of RAM right now.

At Micro Center it's over $4000.

Western Digital and Samsung SSDs meanwhile have tripled in price in just the last three months, and there's little relief there with even cheaper brands using YMTC flash increasing by 50% or more.

Tech News

Anthropic has banned the creator of OpenClaw from accessing Claude, labeling him a treacherous idiot commie weasel who smells bad. (Tech Crunch)

Fair enough.
Google, Meta, Snap, and Microsoft have excoriated the European Parliament over abandoning a law that created a carve-out in privacy laws to allow online platforms to scan user content for evidence of sexual abuse and have vowed to continue to do so. (The Guardian)

Because under a separate law, the platforms are legally responsible for user content that contains evidence of sexual abuse.

They're just no longer allowed to regulate it.

A very, very European thing to do.
The latest bit of software to get indirectly hacked to deliver malware have been the CPU-Z and HWMonitor tools from the CPUID project. (Bleeping Computer)

The software itself was fine, but the website was hacked to randomly deliver malware instead of the software you tried to download. If you downloaded either package in the last couple of days - the poisoned versions were online between April 9 and 10 - you might have a problem.
Cutting off the tail of DRAM latency at the cost of, well, cost. (Tom's Hardware)

Tail Slayer is a neat bit of software that avoids having critical memory accesses delayed by DRAM refresh cycles.

But it does this by replicating your data across multiple channels of memory so you are never forced to access the memory module that is being refreshed at this precise instant.

Which works, yes, but is a very expensive solution.

19 Oh man. I've been using these little old bluetooth workout-style headphones (66 Audio BT Sport) with my computer this whole time -- very convenient, have lasted many years of light-duty use, and are still going strong -- but I finally got a higher audio quality set (OneOdio A71), and the clarity is incredible. They're not expensive at all -- not even really "studio" headphones, more like "DJ" level -- and they're amazing. I can hear so much more from the same YouTube music videos.

I feel like I cheated myself out of years of higher enjoyment for no reason. No wait, I finally rewarded myself with higher future enjoyment! Yeah, that's the ticket. But seriously, consider getting better sound if you love sound and have been just "getting by."

Skip, you had a truck in your senior year? I was still riding the damn bus. There were a few of my classmates who had cars, but not many, or maybe the ones in my social circle didn't.

When I got to college the next year, the campus was full of cars and part of the orientation included how to obtain your parking permit. I hated going to that commuter school: It was just like high school, except vastly bigger and nobody knew me, and I had a 45-minute bus ride each way.

K-6 we didn't even have buses. In 7th-8th, was 2 blocks short of having bus service; lived 5 minute walk from high school.

38 Oh, I walked to grammar school; it was only three and a half blocks away. At ages seven to eleven I thought it a long slog, at least when going to the school in the morning.

Starting at twelve I had to ride the bus to school. There were no junior highs or high schools within walking distance. Both bus rides were about twenty minutes each way *once you got on the bus*; waiting times varied.

Or long lines of mommies in SUVs, dropping off and picking up their sprogs. It's insane.

The only time I ever got *driven* to school was during a bus strike when I was attending the commuter college. I managed to get my father to drop me off. You'd have thought I was asking him to drive way out to the Gulf Coast. "You've been the one yelling at me to 'get that degree'," I reminded him. "If you'd taught me to drive and helped me buy a car two years ago, you wouldn't have this problem!"

I got a lift back home from one classmate or another, chipping in for gas. This was when gas was about .50/gal., which seemed high then.

Most of those cities or states that offer you money to move there also insist that you have a business you're also relocating to their area.
