This RAM kit has gained another price increase and is £360 now! That's 323% more expensive than what I paid for it (£85) in August!
I hate AI! I hate it I hate it I hate it! Sucking up all the DRAM so it becomes unavailable and unaffordable for consumers.

DRAM pricing madness thanks to this stupid AI boom.
I bought this 32 GB DDR5 6000 MT/s CL36 Crucial kit in August for £85.
Out of stock from Amazon now (after exceeding £205). Still in stock at Overlockers UK for £300!!! That's over 250% more expensive!
Please can the AI bubble burst.

The case returning is a CiT Mentor. I liked the design for a home office mATX PC case and it has a USB-C port included in the front I/O. I have since ordered a different case and was to hesitant to order this one again. No USB-C in the front I/O or 5.25" bay for the different model sadly.

How irritating - was in the process of building a new desktop PC for my father and discovered the bottom expansion bracket had not been machined correctly. 1 to 3 can be popped out from the little weld holding them but No. 4 hasn't even been cut, only the outline to cut etched in. Return processing.

Since my TV broke 2 years ago, this year's Le Mans setup is borrowing an HD monitor with no built-in speakers, so a bluetooth speaker on charge with an aux cable all watched using a Chromecast 3 streaming from the FIA WEC app at 1080p50 set to 50 Hz. 🛠

Today's YouGov daily questions were by far the most bizzare I've seen yet.

Here's an alternative with yellow text. I'm starting to see your point. Perhaps I'll print one side with the white text version and the other with the yellow text version.

My plan is to get this printed on 2 pieces of A2 foamboard. Last year I had a similar but less eyecatching design on A3 foamboard which felt small. I'd go for A1 if I didn't have to take it on the Tube 👍🇪🇺

Ok, THIS #RejoinEU placard design is my best so far. White text on dark blue is easier to read than the yellow text on blue for my main points. I've been through so many designs. Getting well prepared for the next
