Two Chrome Librewolf tabs

Sometime between November 5th 2024 and Jan 20th 2025 I decided I had better replace my ailing laptop before something drove prices up. I was debating between the 32G of RAM I needed and the 64G I wanted. I am really glad I splurged back then. The way costs have gone between tariffs and AI's demand for braaainz (plus the fact that vibe coders don't make any account for efficiency or specs) it feels like I practically got it for free.

I'm still getting by with the machine I built in 2016 with what I thought was a beefy 16GB of RAM. Hopefully I can get some cheap parts and build something better after the AI bubble bursts.

i would sell them and retire

My main rig has 64 of DDR5 and my backup rig (Yes I'm that kind of fucking nerd) has 32 of DDR4.

I'm so fucking lucky I bought this hardware JUST in time.

My home server still has 96GB. At this rate i might shut it down and call it my retirement plan

Is this a sloppified version, exacerbating the reason 32 rams is so scarce right now?

I read this in their voice.

I would compile 2 versions of LibreWolf from source at the same time man

Depending on what you do 16 might be plenty or 32 can be barely enough.

i guess currently you can cash it in for early retirement

Below 32gb is unusable. Can't even load rimworld

I can hear this image

I have 32GB of RAM! DDR4, though.
