I'm very lucky to still have mine -- An Atari 400. My dad built an external keyboard from an 800 kbd mechanism. He also upgraded its RAM to... well.... 48kB. 😁

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

"One potential way RAM prices could come back down is if these companies decided to invest capital in increasing their production facilities, but recent statements imply that they are hesitant to do so"
Because they know this AI market is temporary. But they'll take the case now, thank you.

I had been loosely following RAM shortages, but Micron leaving the consumer market made me take a deeper look at what's happening.
If you're like me, and had filed away as 'a thing that is happening', it's worth starting to take a look, because this is getting pretty bad, pretty quick.

Wondering why everyone is suddenly talking about RAM? What's the big deal?
@patrickdane.bsky.social speaks to analysts and hardware experts like @matpiscatella.bsky.social, @superhys.bsky.social, and Daniel Owen to outline why RAM prices are skyrocketing, and what this means for videogames.

Basically, yeah
Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Please let me know how it is. It fits the beige perfect, but might need some small adjustments for the Starlight. I tried to take into account the LED strip and extra connectors on the Starlight.
