- Comment on DDR4 costs soar as manufacturers pull the plug — panic buying and stockpiling impact DDR4 spot pricing as supply dwindles 5 days ago:
I've seen the claim around but I'm highly skeptical of it. DDR5 is far too slow for anything where memory bandwidth really matters, any newly produced chip that's gonna be used for AI is on HBM3 or HBM3e, or possibly GDDR6/GDDR7 if it's a GPU pulled from the consumer segment. HBM5 is still a very, very early research project and is certainly not being produced yet.
- Comment on Bandcamp Clubs [new Bandcamp feature] 1 week ago:
The idea is interesting, but $13/month for one 'mystery' album from an artist you (most likely) don't know feels rather up there.
- Comment on Steam: Updates to User Review Scores Based on Language 3 weeks ago:
Even with the current thumbs up/down people get it wrong. Give it a thumbs up but write a scathing review.
I've done that and it's a result of not having more options than good/bad. Always the same cause: I really wanted to write a 3* review for a game that has a lot to praise but its core is fundamentally flawed, but Steam doesn't let me give a 3*, so I try to correct for the review score bracket I think the game should be in.
