I'm getting annoyed with claims that "70% of memory chip production for 2026 is going to go to **datacenters**".
My hardware supplier (rhymes with Taco Bell) is unable to give me a quote for rackmount servers that would ship within the next 6 months.
70% of memory chip production for 2026 is going to gigawatt-scale water vapor generators that coincidentally generate text, not "datacenters".
Hard drive pricing in the UK is so high that a person flew to the US to buy them instead, saving money despite flight and hotel costs — HDD deal seeker saved more than $2,000 by taking a trip
The $370 price difference between the U.S. and the U.K. on 28TB hard drives meant that it's more cost effective to pay for a round-trip ticket and a hotel stay than to just purchase 10 drives locally.

Question to #diy #hardware people:
Wouldn't a proper relay and some caps already be sufficient to build yourself a power fallover circuit (just switching from one power source to the other if the primary one fails)? Or is there something I miss?
I have an old powerbank that would make a nice battery for an Orange Pi, that hasn't any circuitry for such a case built-in.

Der Chef von Phison, einem der größten SSD-Hersteller weltweit, zeichnet ein düsteres Bild: Bis mindestens 2030 könnte Speicher knapp bleiben. Die Folge? Hohe Preise und ein Herstellersterben, das bereits 2026 beginnen könnte.

After some extensive soldering time I've now got stock ready of all my expansions and peripherals for use with #RC2014 and compatible systems. All the info and to purchase please see: https://2014.samcoupe.com
- SID Soundchip Interface (6581 configuration in stock, use the famous #Commodore #C64 SID Soundchip with your RC setup, or use modern replacement such as ArmSID)
- Graphic OLED Interface (32x128 graphic display)
- ZX True Tone (ZXTT, for use with Ed Brindley's YM/AY soundcard so the soundchip is clocked exactly at the same frequency as the 128K #ZXSpectrum)
- SAA1099P Sound chip Interface (Use the 6 channel stereo sound chip, as used in the #SAMCoupe, in your RC setup)
- RC-ZX Bus Interface (Use RC2014 I/O peripherals on the #ZXSpectrum)
- RC-SAM Bus Interface (Use RC2014 I/O peripherals on the #SAMCoupe)

Sollte man schnell noch Festplatten, SSDs und RAM horten, ehe die Preise völlig explodieren?
Ich finde diese Entwicklung sehr besorgniserregend; ich will nicht demnächst meine Fotos über SaaS-Dienste, bereitgestellt von Amazon oder Meta, nutzen müssen, weil PCs nicht mehr bezahlbar sind.
