I thought this was some kind of joke. £29.48 for two 0GB RGB sticks when you can get the 2x8GB version for £50. What kind of r-slur has £30 to spend on fake RAM but not £50 to spend on actual RAM?
The reviews confirm that these are only bought by literal 
and it doesn't even get good reviews...
Honestly when I first seen this I thought it was a sleeve to install over an existing stick of RAM so I was a little disappointed to find out it's an empty stick of RAM with RGB on it but that's my own fault for misunderstanding the product, for what it is it looks lovely, the software ICUE is easy enough to use the reason it's not managed more stars is due to the price of them for what it is
This dude thinks he bought actual RAM lmao
My machine is not faster but I had no issues installing.
I don't know how it works but my fps in game has consistently been 10 frame over usual. Someone told me it's because of the way the real RAM is taking power. I dunno I don't really care. Looks cracked AF.
They actually decrease this guy's performance:
Right let's start with saying these look great, But there's one issue I've managed to now solve. I could not get my 16gb set of ram to work at the correct speed of 3200mhz. I tried everything I could think of to get them to work and they never would. Turns out it was this kit, as soon as I took it out and applied the xmp profile it worked straight away, put the kit back in and it wouldn't boot. To sum it up if you want to run your ram at the correct speed then don't get this kit, but if you're all about looks over performance than by all means get it.
Easy to install, didn't even have to go into my bios or anything they just worked straight away.
Isn't it amazing that fake RAM works without any BIOS tweaks?
As the title says, one stick takes ages to light, I've tried in various slots but to no avail. Once lite it performs fine. It's only for a light show, but I think it should be better quality for the price.
Just satisfying seeing all ram slots filled. Worth it. Plug and play. Synced with the iCue software right away
lmao RGBcels reaping and sowing.
One of the most annoying thing about this RGB ram is the RGB stays on when you PC is in sleep mode! I couldn't find anyway to turn it off! So it forces you to shut down your PC because they are so bright especially if you have a PC in a bedroom!
Glass case PC-cels are the worst. I hate the /r/battlestations trend where the PC tower sits on the desk throwing an RGB lightshow all over the monitors.

I was trying to html-ify some page I getted and randomly noticed weird ass character (reddit titles) and then I got it down to a list of mostly stupid emojies.
Basically HTML was rendering those fancy quotation marks weirdly so I was just gonna regex replace the most frequent ones.
Then I found this character that just looks like a space.
I tried asking od -X what it was but
printf "___ ___"
was turning into
printf "__ ___"
and it would just glitch out the characters so I just put it in a file and asked it that way..
so
\xef\xb8\x8f
(i clicked post on the post too early not done yet...)
So then I opened up the file where I have this "character(s)" in and WTF is this and more importantly how does this end up in a reddit title lmfao??
So I opened the file and wrote
The quick brown fox (deleted 3 to change fox to marsey) marsey (newline)
jumped over the slow carp
what is this black magic

There is a world where we dig tunnels under federal highways, and stick freight trucks down there. They'd run on a monorail, at 120+ mph. Surface vehicles would be dramatically limited in terms of height, width, and length. Maybe people buses could go down there?
In my imagination these tunnels are, like, 200' down. Like mole people.

(I'm sure it will be fine when the government uses it in airports to track everyone traveling)
Rite Aid has been banned from using facial recognition software for five years, after the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) found that the U.S. drugstore giant's “reckless use of facial surveillance systems” left customers humiliated and put their “sensitive information at risk.”
A Reuters report from 2020 detailed how the drugstore chain had secretly introduced facial recognition systems across some 200 U.S. stores over an eight-year period starting in 2012, with “largely lower-income, non-white neighborhoods” serving as the technology testbed.
With the FTC's increasing focus on the misuse of biometric surveillance, Rite Aid fell firmly in the government agency's crosshairs. Among its allegations are that Rite Aid — in partnership with two contracted companies — created a “watchlist database” containing images of customers that the company said had engaged in criminal activity at one of its stores. These images, which were often poor quality, were captured from CCTV or employees' mobile phone cameras.
When a customer entered a store who supposedly matched an existing image on its database, employees would receive an automatic alert instructing them to take action — and the majority of the time this instruction was to “approach and identify,” meaning verifying the customer's identity and asking them to leave. Often, these “matches” were false positives that led to employees incorrectly accusing customers of wrongdoing, creating “embarrassment, harassment, and other harm,” according to the FTC.
Someone think of the thievorinos!

Top Poster of the Day:
Sasanka_of_Gauda
Current Registered Users: 26,836
tech/science swag. 
Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to real them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.
