I Only See People Talking About AM4 Or AM5, Never About LGA Sockets. Why?

5 minutes ago 1.3K views 0 shares

Intel's LGA sockets sitting at the bottom of the ocean while AMD's AM4 and AM5 get all the love and attention from the PC building community. It's like being the third wheel, except you're also slowly decomposing underwater. The truth? AMD nailed the marketing game and the longevity factor. AM4 lasted like 5 years with backward compatibility that made people feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Meanwhile, Intel's been churning out LGA sockets like they're going out of style—LGA1151, LGA1200, LGA1700—making upgraders buy new motherboards every generation like it's a subscription service. Poor LGA1700 down there just wanted some recognition, but nope. The internet has chosen its champion, and it's Team Red all the way. RIP to all the forgotten Intel sockets that never got their moment in the sun.

The eternal cycle of tech employment. You grind through the job hunt, finally land that position, start dreaming about upgrading your potato laptop with your first real paycheck... and then the AI bubble bursts right when you're about to click "Buy Now" on that sweet gaming rig. So you sit there with your ancient machine, watching the market implode, knowing that prebuilt you wanted is now either out of stock or somehow MORE expensive despite the recession. Classic tech worker timing: always one economic disaster away from decent hardware. At least you still have a job... for now. Time to learn how to build PCs from spare parts like it's 2008 again.

Memory Prices Make Me Cry

Picture this: You're an IT company trying to upgrade your infrastructure, and RAM prices are skyrocketing faster than your coffee consumption during sprint week. Your company's net worth? Doubled! Not because you're crushing it with innovation or landing massive contracts, but because the memory sticks sitting in your server room are now worth more than the actual servers themselves. It's like discovering your dusty Pokemon cards are suddenly worth a fortune, except way less fun and infinitely more depressing. The market giveth, and the market taketh away... your budget, your sanity, and your ability to justify that "necessary" 128GB upgrade. Companies are literally hoarding RAM like it's digital gold, watching their balance sheets inflate while their ability to actually BUY more RAM deflates. What a time to be alive in the tech industry!

When you skip the entire compilation step and push straight to production, you're not just living dangerously—you're basically proposing marriage on the first date. The sheer audacity of committing to master without even checking if your code compiles is the kind of confidence that either makes you a legend or gets you fired. Probably both, in that order. Some call it reckless. Others call it a war crime against DevOps. But hey, who needs CI/CD pipelines when you've got pure, unfiltered bravery? The compiler warnings were just suggestions anyway, right? Right?!

Dr Blame The Dev

Rust Golang C++ Typescript Javascript

5 hours ago 81.1K views 0 shares

Someone wrote a manifesto about how using C, C++, Python, or vanilla JavaScript in production is basically corporate negligence, advocating for Rust, Go, and TypeScript instead. The reply? "Nonsense. If your code has reached the point of unmaintainable complexity, then blame the author, not the language." Classic developer blame game. The first person is basically saying "your tools are bad and you should feel bad," while the second person fires back with "skill issue, not language issue." Both are technically correct, which makes this argument eternal. The reality? Yeah, modern languages with better type systems and memory safety do prevent entire classes of bugs. But also yeah, a terrible developer can write unmaintainable garbage in any language, including Rust. You can't memory-safety your way out of 10,000-line functions and zero documentation. The real takeaway: if you're shipping production code in 2025 without considering memory safety and type guarantees, you're making a choice. Just make sure it's an informed one, not a "we've always done it this way" one.

I Am All For Memory Production For Gamers, But Let's Not Forget What Kind Of Company Asus Is, Yes?

When ASUS tries to act all wholesome about producing more RAM for gamers, PCMR is quick to remind them about that little 2023 motherboard scandal. You know, the one where AM5 motherboards were literally frying CPUs because of overvoltage issues? Yeah, that one. ASUS tried to gaslight customers into thinking it was user error, denied RMAs left and right, and basically showed their true colors when things went south. The tech community doesn't forget corporate shenanigans that easily—we're like elephants, but with RGB lighting and trust issues. So while everyone's hyped about cheaper DDR5, some of us remember when ASUS was more interested in protecting their bottom line than their customers' $500 CPUs. But hey, at least the memes are fire... unlike those motherboards should've been.

You know what's hilarious? We all learned semantic versioning in like week one, nodded along seriously, then proceeded to ship version 2.7.123 because we kept breaking production at 3am and needed to hotfix our hotfixes. That "shame version" number climbing into triple digits? Yeah, that's basically a public counter of how many times you muttered "how did this pass code review" while frantically pushing fixes. The comment "0.1.698" is *chef's kiss* because someone out there really did increment the patch version 698 times. At that point you're not following semver, you're just keeping a tally of your regrets. The real kicker is when your PM asks "when are we going to v1.0?" and you realize you've been in beta for 3 years because committing to a major version feels like admitting you know what you're doing.

Guy's surname is "Wu" and some form system decided that two characters just isn't enough for a last name. Because clearly, every database architect in history assumed all humans follow the same naming conventions. The validation rule says minimum 3 characters, and Wu says "I exist." Meta's official account responding with "wuhoooo!" is either peak corporate humor or someone in their social media team is having way too much fun. Fun fact: This is a classic example of Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names . Names can be one character, they can have no last name, they can be symbols, they can change daily. Your regex won't save you.

When She Asks The Price Of The Ram

You know you've made questionable financial decisions when you're physically defending your RAM purchase like it's a championship belt. DDR5 prices have turned us all into defensive boxers, ready to throw hands when someone questions why we spent the equivalent of a used car payment on memory sticks. The panic in his eyes? That's the universal expression of every PC builder who's ever had to explain to a non-technical person why 64GB of DDR5 costs more than their monthly rent. "It was on sale" becomes your mantra, even though the sale price still required taking out a small loan.

So you're telling me you need an AI agent running Claude 4.5 Sonnet on MAX mode to change padding from p-4 to p-8? Brother, that's literally pressing backspace once and typing an 8. You're using a nuclear reactor to toast bread. The "CODING 00" skill meter perfectly captures the energy here. It's like asking a surgeon to help you put on a band-aid. Sure, these AI coding assistants are powerful for complex refactoring and architecture decisions, but using them for trivial CSS changes is peak "I forgot how to use my keyboard" behavior. Next thing you know, people will be prompting AI to add semicolons. Just... just use Ctrl+F at this point.

Finally Got Sick Of Linux (Arch Btw) Bloatware And Got Ram Usage Down To 1 Mb

Oh honey, someone just discovered MS-DOS and thinks they've achieved ENLIGHTENMENT. They stripped down their system so hard they went back to 1985! Because nothing says "I'm a power user" quite like running an operating system that predates the internet as we know it. The beautiful irony? They're flexing about escaping Linux "bloatware" by literally using an OS that can't even multitask properly. My dude has 64GB of RAM and is using 2MB of it like it's some kind of achievement. That's like buying a Ferrari and being proud you only use first gear. Also, the "(Arch btw)" in the title is *chef's kiss* – because even when abandoning Arch for DOS, they STILL have to mention they used Arch. It's not a lifestyle choice, it's a personality disorder at this point.

You know those ominous comments in config files that say "DO NOT MODIFY BELOW THIS LINE" or "TOUCH THIS AND YOU'RE FIRED"? Yeah, Linux treats those the same way Sabrina Carpenter treats paparazzi—complete and utter disregard. You can scream warnings all you want, but when push comes to shove, that config file is getting modified at 2 AM because something broke and StackOverflow said to change it. The Tux penguin just sits there with that smug expression, knowing full well it's about to watch you destroy your entire system configuration while ignoring every single warning comment left by the previous sysadmin who quit three years ago. Pro tip: those warnings exist because someone before you learned the hard way. But you'll ignore them too, because we all do.
