An entire PS5 now costs less than 64GB of DDR5 memory, even after a discount — simple memory kit jumps to $600 due to DRAM shortage, and it's expected to get worse into 2026 in c/technology@lemmy.zip

Memory prices have jumped a lot recently. Anecdotally, I bought some RAM off a website almost exactly half a year ago. Back then the price was 14 euro, now it is 41 euro, and the product I bought is still the cheapest for 8GB SO-DIMM 3.2GHz on the website.

Granted, there are two other possible reasons:

  1. It could have been a good offer back then.
  2. It is black friday tomorrow, so they might need a high price now to put it on "sale" tomorrow.

I would say the opposite: when you are one step from the bottom of the stairs, but you think you are at the bottom of the stairs.

Denmark to ban social media for children under 15 in c/europe@feddit.org

The headline is a bit misleading. "Parents will have the opportunity to consent to their children's access, if their children are as young as 13". A lot of people are worried that this will mean the de facto minimum age will be 13.

(Here is an article in Danish regarding it: https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/indland/flere-organisationer-roser-aftale-om-alderskrav-paa-sociale-medier)
