      Helldivers 2’s new beta client is 24GB (current client: 150+GB).

      So, I’ve at least had a chance to download more hard drive space

    I would downsize my RAM before giving up my cat. My cat warms my lap directly which is more efficient than warming the room with the PC.

    I had to look it up because I didn’t believe y’all.

    $755 for 64GB DDR5.

    I thought I had DDR5 but I guess it’s just DDR4 according to my motherboard.

    Mother fucker. I could have gotten it for $200 a year ago. I’m at the point where I suggest we start taking ahem excessive action against AI companies.

      In April I bought 2x32 GB sticks of DDR5 for a grand total of $227 at my local microcenter. That same product is $809 today! Outlandish!

        That’s still less than RAM cost early 2000s, and why HP cases for workstations had beefy locks.

    What’s wrong with DDR4? It doesn’t seem like the price on that has changed for a good few years since I bought mine.

      Yes, but the US fired regulators and neutered depts. Now that it’s a kleptocracy and price fixing is just considered good business.

    Cats aren’t animals, they’re robots. The reason they purr is because they have fans.

    Instead of selling him, unscrew the 4 pentalobe screws to remove the stomach plate, which will then expose 2 torx T6 screws to remove the neck plate. This then exposes 3 of the 7 total torx T4 screws for the 3 frame pieces that need to be unscrewed to access the motherboard. Before accessing the motherboard, 6 Philips head screws must be unscrewed and the board then can be pulled out.

    Unfortunately, most cats have soldered LPDDR5 RAM chips, and therefore can only be desoldered to extract the DRAM chips, although some models of cat sometimes do have upgradable ram, such as pre 2015 cats with standard SO-DIMM modules (usually 2 sticks from 2 to 4 GB each,) or rare high spec cats which tend to have LPCAMM modules instead (on average being 1 stick of 32gb or higher).

      Yeah, uh… I’ll have some of whatever this dude’s having.

      I mean… my cat barely remembers that I feed him, and you expect me to believe there’s LPDDR5 in there?!? I think my first computer (a Commodore VIC-20 with 5 KB of RAM) was more powerful than my cat’s brain.

        well if your cat is orange it only has one braincell… so that’s more of a CPU problem.

          Nah, he’s black & white - I got him from Gateway… Well, the company that licensed the brand name from Acer a few years back, anyway.

          ETA: Gateway was well known for their B&W cow-spotted branding on their boxes playing on the fact they were based out in the middle of midwest farm country.

      Sometimes they just randomly show up at your door and tell you to let them in and feed them. Then you need to get a box for them to shit in. Next thing you know… you start shitting in a box too… because it’s time for your colon cancer screening.
