Yay phew 😄

Picking up tomorrow in Dandenong :)

will check what they gave me then wrap up for Christmas!

Sally can put it together 🎁

Her other Christmas gifts will be hidden & mutate into birthday gifts 😂

Thanks so much! I just stress out on things, your guidance was invaluable. 💜

Here is what I ended up with, 2x16 GB Kingston memory, please have a look 🫣

I would often fill up the memory on my Dell laptop and that had 32 GB so I thought 16 GB total might be just not much ... bust the bank but Afterpay 🫣

I HAVE to go back to this show …

I swapped in this 1x16 GB (not white/RGB) will this work fine?

Its clock speed is slightly slower and then there are CL timings and wtf idk 😭

I hope it's enough for good games (one at a time). I hope I can find a reasonable twin for it later 😬

Do the DDR5 ram sticks have to be pairs? I wondered if it could be 1 x 16 GB and add more later

but apparently that's not a thing (or at least not from Scorptec)

Blancolirio as ever has deets

Sounds like the software parts of the “hardening” were mistakenly removed in an update and .. seems no one noticed until this incident ??

You’d really hope that software would be reviewed as all hell, and yet 😬

So you are betting on prices going up further from here? Just wondering if Christmas demand is a factor and waiting till Boxing Day is cheaper?

Maybe retail demand has f all to do with these prices, idk

Thanks so much

I am thinking fuck it and get the cart as is. We should get years of use out of it, I think. 💳

Who would you buy from? Is it better to go for a single supplier or nah?

Thanks!

I just saw this on the hellsite, so thanks for the context!
December 2, 2025 at 9:48 AM
anyway I am happy that gz worked great for your use case!

It is a million years old and the context window is tiny

Somewhere around 2020 I got schooled on this.

I had some multi-gig dataset

gzip: traditional 2:1 or so
zstd: I think it was >100:1, AND it was so fast I suspected it was broken 😅
