      I know it’s obviously much easier said than done, but this is exactly why unions exist.

      I have a union position, and none of what you just said applies to me. It’s wonderful.

      I’d very much like to see the Accountable Capitalism act hit these companies. Force them to rethink their employee-hating positions when they need their votes to win over the board.

      RAM is a resource that works best when you have more than you need. I always want there to be some unused RAM because then my system can do anything it needs to without spending time swapping out the least recently used pages before it has any free ones to use.

      Shitty programs that take GBs of memory to do things that should only need MBs or KBs of it isn’t “getting my money’s worth out of my computer”.

        I agree, having a bit more memory than you typically use is a good idea, there is a point of diminishing returns though. If you typically use less than 16GB of memory, buying 64GB isn’t really giving you much of an advantage because the majority of that memory will sit unused. You could argue future proofing, but the fact is you would be better off waiting to purchase that extra memory when you actually need it as it will (usually) be cheaper by that time.

    This hurts, I finally decided to build my first own PC like 2 months ago, got everything planned out but decided to wait for black friday to actually order all the parts. Now I have everything except RAM and an SSD, because I refuse to pay those prices 🥲 Maybe I’ll buy a single second hand 8GB stick just to find out whether my system even boots…

    I thought this was going to be about female sheep. Instead, there’s a long argument about a ram.

    You shoud definitely build it soon, even if just to test it.

    If you don’t, it will invariably be your bad luck that a component doesn’t work and you are then past the return window…

    LOL, that exact model of RAM kicked the bucket in my PC last week. The two sticks died pretty much simultaneously. Thank fuck it was only half of a mismatched set, so my PC can still run on the other half
