Actually possible if you mount google drive and move your swap file there.
How about swap on pingfs so you aren't relying on some cloud provider?

It's really easy to set up a manufacturing process for basically anything if you can spend 100x per unit compared to the big optimized factories and you don't mind the product being a lot slower. The clean room isn't the hard part about being competitive. It's using advanced lithography to cram billions of cells into a single chip. If you want make DDR2 chips on a 90 nanometer process, that is accessible to a whole l…
Nobody will buy the product? I'm an infrastructure architect and work with health care, local tax agency, they're all getting 25-30% inflated bills now for new hardware. And what happens when smaller companies have to repair or scale their infrastructure and can't get affordable RAM? I'd say if people aren't desperate already, they're about to be.

Correct, nobody will buy your 1GB stick of DDR2-speed RAM for the $100 it cost you to produce it.

That situation sucks but bringing up more obsolete fabrication isn't going to help. They can't compete with modern chips even when those modern chips have a 5x price penalty.

Ok sorry I misread you saying that it was easy with nm manufacturing but nobody will buy the product, you said it's easy to manufacture micrometer DDR2 speeds.

Single digit micrometer is really easy and makes toys and/or microcontrollers. 90nm is sort of easy if you have factory money, and is about what you need for DDR2. It gets a lot more difficult as you go beyond that.

You forgot Troll, you insensitive clod!
"Score: 5, Troll" is the ultimate achievement. To put it that into context, some tags count as upvotes, others count as downvotes, "Troll" is a downvote. So to have your post labelled as "Troll" with a positive score, it has to have enough upvotes to compensate the penalty from the "Troll" votes, but without having another tag dominate. 5 is the maximum score. "Score: 5, Troll" is therefore the mark of a very success…
They also have "Underrated" and "Overrated" which apply points but do not act as tags. So I guess the easiest way to get +5 Troll is to have many Troll and Underrated votes, if it works the way I think it does.

If they put a pricing page, I think there would be someone who would buy it, especially nowadays when with embedded llms there is a huge hunger for RAM (as well as CPU). :))

#89Technologies that were considered "high-tech" 20-30 years ago are now accessible to regular people. Making DRAM. I remember a video recently of a guy making his own floppy disks. Next I expect people to manufacture integrated circuits that have been discontinued. Like the Z80
Makes me wonder if in the far future it will be ever possible to do something crazy like 7nm processes at home
Re: Making RAM at Home [video]
#90I only buy free-range artisanal DRAM at the DRAM farmer's market.
Did anyone forget that core memory is woven ? With knitting, beads and everything ?
