The past is now the present again. AI broke the arch of inevitable progressive history for the digital demos. The data centre AI aristocracy are probably pleased nonetheless.

RAM and SSD (NAND) chips are very expensive today in May '26. Would "AVX" extensions improve compile performance on rotational HDDs? I am looking for a kernel parameter that would allow rust to function reasonably on the more affordable rotational HDDs.

How do you like Redox? Are gnu utils all in rust on Redox yet?

With no end in sight for the global memory crisis, has anyone considered optimizing the kernel for rotational HDDs since SSDs are absurdly overpriced?

For instance
* overcommit memory doesn't make compiling #rustlang any faster. Ideas?
@rustaceans

We wrongly assumed the technology would make like Moore's Law. Instead, economic realities made the substrate of computation scarce for the long term. If so, the software of the People's future ought to be tunable to the contingencies of scarcity.

Did you recently rediscover how slow electro-mechanical HDDs are?

Do you now wait eons to compile?

Do you carry around some of the few remaining solid states worth their weight in precious gold?

Recommendations:
* Kicksecure (RO) for default-mgmt-dvm & clockvm to protect salt functions like update > timedatectl show > qubes-prefs
* Development of highly isolated templates with tor transport an onion by default
* purge ALL lxqt! (xTerm works)

AI is dominating the world’s memory chips. That could make phones more expensive

As chipmakers rush to serve AI data centers, consumer electronics are left in short supply.

Giá RAM tăng mạnh do các nhà sản xuất chuyển sang làm bộ nhớ cho AI, khiến nguồn cung cho laptop, PC và smartphone khan hiếm. Dự kiến thiết bị công nghệ sẽ đắt đỏ hơn vào năm 2026. Người dùng nên cân nhắc mua sắm sớm nếu cần thiết.

Giá RAM tăng mạnh vì AI, laptop và smartphone sắp đắt đỏ hơn

Thiếu hụt nguồn cung RAM do các hãng chuyển sang sản xuất bộ nhớ cho AI khiến giá laptop, PC và smartphone dự kiến tăng mạnh trong năm 2026.

"Historische Speicherknappheit": PC- und Smartphone-Preise könnten explodieren

PCs, Smartphones, Spielkonsolen und andere Geräte könnten in den kommenden Monaten deutlich teurer werden. Das liegt an einer zunehmenden Knappheit von Arbeitsspeicher-Modulen, die einen ganz speziellen Grund hat.
