Tsk Tsk. Making fun of your parents for their lack of RAM at your age

[-] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 5 months ago

Jokes on me my parents only needed half a gigabyte of memory to do anything they could possibly imagine

[-] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Mine had money because they refused to buy a PC at all. They were new at that time and the average cost for one back then was like 3k, they said nah were good.

I think a better takeaway is this... Hiring runs on nepotism. It always has, but for a while you could go through an application process and land a decent job

You have to work your social connections to find a job these days. People are just way more willing to put in the energy to evaluate you if they have someone vouching for you

Especially now with remote work and AI... The screening process has devolved into nonsense. If they're not pulling your resume out of the stack, it's very likely no human is looking at it

I know it's obviously much easier said than done, but this is exactly why unions exist.

I have a union position, and none of what you just said applies to me. It's wonderful.

I’d very much like to see the Accountable Capitalism act hit these companies. Force them to rethink their employee-hating positions when they need their votes to win over the board.

Just download more RAM, holy shit

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 19 points 5 months ago

Is this the death of somewhat affordable computing?

[-] ExtremeUnicorn@feddit.org 2 points 5 months ago

You can compute on DDR3 just fine, I do it every day..

Remember kids: Unused memory is wasted memory.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago

RAM is a resource that works best when you have more than you need. I always want there to be some unused RAM because then my system can do anything it needs to without spending time swapping out the least recently used pages before it has any free ones to use.

Shitty programs that take GBs of memory to do things that should only need MBs or KBs of it isn't "getting my money's worth out of my computer".

[-] OR3X@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I agree, having a bit more memory than you typically use is a good idea, there is a point of diminishing returns though. If you typically use less than 16GB of memory, buying 64GB isn't really giving you much of an advantage because the majority of that memory will sit unused. You could argue future proofing, but the fact is you would be better off waiting to purchase that extra memory when you actually need it as it will (usually) be cheaper by that time.

[-] python@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

This hurts, I finally decided to build my first own PC like 2 months ago, got everything planned out but decided to wait for black friday to actually order all the parts. Now I have everything except RAM and an SSD, because I refuse to pay those prices 🥲 Maybe I'll buy a single second hand 8GB stick just to find out whether my system even boots..

[-] Geth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 months ago

My current PC is decently specced today but it's definitely a very ship of Theseus situation. Everything apart from the ram and motherboard has been changed over the years as new deals sprung up and I could afford better parts. You can definitely make due with less until either the shit floats away or you end up in a better financial situation.

[-] python@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping to do with my system too! I'm not even in a bad financial situation rn, I just don't really need that PC asap and don't want to encourage the current market by actually buying at those inflated prices. It's gonna be a very cool setup once DDR5 RAM goes back to being affordable, but in the meantime it's just a very expensive adhd pile on my floor xD

[-] Geth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 months ago

Looks great. Grab that 8GB stick and finish the build. You will be very happy you finally did it.

[-] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 months ago

I thought this was going to be about female sheep. Instead, there's a long argument about a ram.

[-] tiramichu@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

You shoud definitely build it soon, even if just to test it.

If you don't, it will invariably be your bad luck that a component doesn't work and you are then past the return window...

[-] Dijon@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

LOL, that exact model of RAM kicked the bucket in my PC last week. The two sticks died pretty much simultaneously. Thank fuck it was only half of a mismatched set, so my PC can still run on the other half
