Or sometimes they are aware, but it’s enough cheaper that they don’t care.

You can keep your bread-flavored soda. My water is flavored with ROCKS (minerals added for taste).

The guy whose source was “I once sanded an entire dining set with a shark” was really cooking there.

I get that it’s woo (e.g. burying quartz crystals stuffed inside a cow horn), but I don’t see any racism. Care to elaborate?

CXMT just recently demonstrated the ability to manufacture RAM chips. The existing supply is all from Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron. A fourth player should increase the supply.

If they made DIMMs with CXMT chips, they wouldn’t need a fab (CXMT presumably has access to those). ASUS already has the PCB production and pick-and-place factories.

Edited to fix some mistakes, thanks for the corrections.

unless you mean DRAM specifically in favour of HBM for the datacentre/AI market (which is what they are doing)

Looks like it’s the opposite:

The RoC doesn’t make much RAM, to my knowledge. It’s the RoK that does that. Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix all have their own fabs.

The US hasn’t been competitive in RAM (edit: manufacturing, though there is one plant in Virginia) in something like 40 years. The PRC is working on catching up to the RoK. I hope they manage to export good RAM soon, because the Korean companies are all both cutting back on production (edit: expansion) to increase prices.

Also, the lone American company in the mix, which still manufactures most of its supply abroad, just killed off its consumer division entirely to focus on selling RAM to datacenters.

There was that one guy who managed to shoot out his bipolar disorder.

Yeah, the concept is nice, but it tells me that the Big Bang doesn’t explain what happened before it (the leading hypothesis is that the Big Bang started time, so there is no “before”) and sources a Wikipedia article on spiders. Then, it cites the common myth about Daddy Longlegs being highly venomous, says that that wasn’t dispelled until 2020, and then cites a fucking BuzzFeed listicle.
