if AI companies buying a lot of future RAM caused the prices to spike, why wont the fabs just announce that they will also increase their capacity in the future?
this should cancel each other out and lower the cost of RAM right now.

Correction: there's not enough competition to force a manufacturer to take the risk.
And there's no antitrust initiative to force a dismantlement of the current monopolies to force prices down.

That is all.
Your politicians and the leading lawyers of your countries are just letting it happen, likely being paid for it too.

Wrong, they are a monopoly and are therefore risk averse to the point where they refuse to take the risk to increase the scale of production.
Monopolies in the market make a risk averse, stagnant market and that is what we're beginning to see with semi-conductor producers.

Learn to economics.

>>107840152
I have an idea.
We lie out of our asses, make convincing enough papers and powerpoints for investors to get them to invest in "downlaodable RAM". We sell it as the next big thing, and if we get enough money being thrown our way the price of RAM will eventually go down from people thinking you can just download it.
It's fool proof! Or at least it counts on people being fools to work!

>Surely a reflective LCD still needs a constant supply of power supplied to it?
They do, but power usage has never been the main selling point of e-ink devices, it's always been the paper like qualities. And RLCD displays are not going to be using as much power on backlighting/frontlighting as the typical backlit LCD's are.
>>107831648
>Why do RLCD have such low resolutions compared to coventional backlit LCD?
Unless there is a technical detail causing this that I'm not aware of, this is merely about RLCD being a niche product.
>What remains to be seen is how much color-particle based e-ink can be improved.
I don't have much hope regarding color e-ink, to be honest. There is no indication that e-ink will ever be capable of magazine level color reproduction.

I thought this too when i saw the date on my ereader. Its change log is vague, only thing it says is "security and stability" or something to that effect. Features that were in beta 10 years ago are still in the beta tab, there are no perceivable changes. In fact, the only thing that has changed is that i can no longer access the sync feature or the kobo book store from the reader. Just fails it every time. So yeah, surprising to see it was updated as recently as a few months ago only to have nothing different and less features working on it. Doesn't really mean much does it?

Again, my original point was that i think it's actually crazy that this ancient device is barely any worse than something i just purchased in Amazon that released this last year. Its hard to believe so little has changed performance wise.

other companies already struggle to create decent speakers, now imagine having to do all of that with the most horrific constraints, then pile on some needed dsp compensation for all operating conditions, then pile on car safety standards and practices. the room is fucked, the positions are fucked, everything is a mess, getting things to sound clear is a big task already.

speakers are so based, the amount of people who want them is so small that only the giga expensive stuff holds any actual value, or new shit(sometimes)
so you can buy things that were like $400 per speaker for like $50 quite commonly or get them for free

The Sovereign Tech Agency (Germany) funded $562,800 (half a million) worth of development on ALPM (Arch Linux Package Management) work. That work was focused, almost entirely, on creating “Rust libraries and tools” for Arch package management which “aims to maintain compatibility with pacman”. As of this moment, the Rust ALPM has not replaced Pacman entirely. But common sense would indicate that replacement is a goal (otherwise the heavily funded development would be nonsensical).

By the way, existing Arch package management tools (such as Pacman) are licensed under the GPL. The new, Rust-based libraries and replacements are licensed under the MIT license.

>you could have said that from the start
If you didn't even know that, how can you possibly expect to get anywhere? You have ZERO business sense
>if you don't want to spoonfeed...
So now you admit you want to be spoonfed, and here's the grand irony anon - you then say that anon is like a child. SPOONFEEDING IS LITERALLY FOR CHILDREN. Then you decide to continue insulting the only anon trying to help.
Time for the reality check anon - there are 100 million jeets right now asking AI questions like yours, getting project ideas, and vibe-coding them all into existence. They will work harder than you, longer than you, and most probably understand the tech sector better than you (given you seem to understand almost nothing).
So do yourself a favour - admit to yourself you're only pursuing this path because you're too lazy to seek out work that means leaving the comfort of your chair, lack the charisma for grifting and lack the imagination to think of anything else. Embrace that truth and take decisive action - either commit to being a better worker and get out of your comfort zone into the real world (maybe trades) OR accept your worthlessness and settle for a life of unfulfilling mediocrity as a permaNEET.
but either way get the hell off this board, you don't belong here.

Go to rtings, choose any OLED review, scroll down to OD transition 0 to 31, observe the flickering. Yes, OLED has this problem on displaying low brightness values lile 31rgb on a per pixel basis. So some pixels might go 255rgb full brightness white while simultaneously the darker parts of the screen flicker in the refresh rate interval. And since the refreshrate is not above 3000Hz this flickering is making your eye muscles spasm like a virgin in an orgy
