I feel like all these hardware shortages will supercharge 2nd hand electronics and their refurbishing from repair specialists.

For many years I had been advocating for Linux distros to optimize for lower spec machines as their life times got extended. Best case, you head off potential hardware end of life, worst case you allow newer hardware to run more effciebtly. The latest shortage I didnt see coming, but it would have helped out regardless. Keeping old hardware going is vital nowadays, need to end the mind set of disposable goods.

A moments silence for Memory stick... Yeah that should do it.

Didn't OpenAI cancel a bunch of memory orders? Seems premature to announce this as there soon will be a glut of memory in the market.

Are heavily ironic posts still considered non-kosher for HN? It does seem times are changing.

The word you seek is 'sarcastic'. The ever so slightly neuro-divergent don't do sarcarsm. Nor do linkedinlunatics.
