One of my GNU/Linux machines is based on the Gigabyte GA-H97-D3H
motherboard with a Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU.

This machine is already over 10 years old but, due to my highly
customized GNU/Linux system, it performs on par or better with
current systems (and I have the benchmarks to prove it).

However, it only has 16 Gb of RAM memory. Rather than scrap it
I would like to add 16 Mb more RAM memory. This should then serve
as a valuable system well into the future.

But, even for this "ancient" hardware, memory prices are outrageous:

Unfortunately, only Memory4Less has the original Crucial memory.
The alternatives are only junk copies:

I suppose that this is just another casualty of the forced AI(LLM).
We are all forced to suffer because these mal-educated, yet highly
paid, corporate managers and personnel cannot even compose a simple
email message.

Intelligent and properly educated people will NEVER require AI(LLM).

Ummmm ... kind of FORGET adding more RAM right now.

The 'AI' market has kind of sucked up ALL memory production.
This is what's in hot, high-volume, demand ... so the factories
make THAT in pref to anything else.

It's not compatible with YOUR desktop/laptop/whatever.

Using Linux, I've found that those 'little' boxes like
from BeeLink or BMax are more than adequate for anything
I need at home. Wouldn't have been at The Office, but
I'm gone from that. These are fair 'laptop'-level chips
in tiny boards/boxes. LIKE 'em.

Even thus, the PRICE - after the Trump/Xi war - have gone
up substantially ... and the higher mem options have largely
disappeared.

Bought a few ATA-SSDs for those little boxes - do boost
the speed considerably - but the Samsung 8xx series are
kinda all you can get. Those are YEARS old. OK, but OLD.

Expect things to STAY this way for at least another year.

What I have will serve ME for a few years more. However
if you're doing new stuff - it's kinda Tuff Titty. At
least Linux is a LOT more frugal with RAM than Winders.
Shop lower-end Winders boxes and FLUSH that crap system
immediately for some Linux.

I take pride in not letting Winders run for a single
millisecond before I overwrite with Linux :-)

I have one notice about this. However my technical high school:

<https://www.zsl.gda.pl>

<https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zesp%C3%B3%C5%82_Szk%C3%B3%C5%82_%C5%81%C4%85czno%C5%9Bci_im._Obro%C5%84c%C3%B3w_Poczty_Polskiej_w_Gda%C5%84sku>

was pure crap, there was few exceptions. One day my teacher Wiktoria
Kołodko, in the "Basics Of Electricity and Electronics" class, told us:

"Our target is not to teach you everything, but we want to teach you how
to manage with learning "on demand" when you will found some new problem
to solve in your future job."

Contrary to that wise sentence, you pretend that you know everything
from school and you can manage, because you are very inteligent, and
others do not. But reality does not work like this. With AI I can adapt
more quickly to new FOSS programs, and to new american standards. In
true using AI is "life hack" which is very wise.

Apparently you miss important fact, which now is obvious to me: In dec.
2022, when ChatGPT started, then also started new civilization era.
Because before computers was silly, and now computers can think. This is
huge step forward!

You admit that, for you, AI(LLM) in only a crutch that is intended
to compensate for an intellectual deficiency.

This is true for most, if not all, users of AI(LLM).

and now computers can think. This is
huge step forward!

You do not understand the mathematics of AI(LLM).

AI(LLM) is ultimately based in PROBABILITY. It is not
DETERMINISTIC.

If the probability, which is derived from training data,
is only slightly misaligned, then AI(LLM) will produce
gibberish.

Thinking, and human intelligence, is a completely different
phenomenon.
