About a week ago I ordered 32GB of RAM for a new PC.

I paid $190.

It costs about $300 today. This is ridiculous.

It’s a good time to preserve old hardware and software that will run on it. If all these price crunches have a silver lining, I hope it’s that they motivate people to resist the pressure from tech corporations to be constantly upgrading.

I’m glad I bought my 128GB 18 months ago.

It’s ECC too. capybara-fancy
