    Devon_Pearce got a reaction from Jrasero in Your thoughts on mining and the GPU shortage?   
    Memory! Yes! When I first bought the laptop I'm now using for school it came with 12GB of RAM. No problem I bought another 4GB 1600MHz stick. I was looking into that now and the prices are abour 35% higher than they were with a 4GB stick at 1600MHz costing 50 canadian rupees. Of course only part of that is from the memory shortage but and the other part of that equation is the reduction in the exchange value of the CAD to USD, but most of it is the flash shortage. I was looking into upgrading the ram in this laptop and it would cost me 100 bucks a stick, and if I wanted to throw some higher clocked RAM in it jumps to 200 a stick.

    I run a small home based computer repair, service and custom build company in regina saskatchewan, and I was at a body shop trying to get my vehicle inspected after an uninsured accident (ya im dumb but i learned my mistake) so this was the first place i went to and i had pictures and the like on a flash drive.... neither the receptionist nore the business owner, the two people who HAD to use computers for their job could figure out how to plug this key shaped flash drive into their computers.... so needless to say i had to take my car elsewhere and the new place did an awesome job.... but they needed those same photos for theirs and the insurers records.... so the receptionist could plug in the flash drive.... no problems their.... but she didn't know how to use windows explorer to navigate to the flash drive.... or how to copy photos.... or where the my pictures folder was.... or how to make a folder..... and to top it off they had to be imported into a program.... a program that ive never used or heard of for that matter, and i had to walk her through the import process! AND SHE WAS ASIAN!

    Got the Galaxy S6 for the IP67 rating. I'm a military reservist and needed something that would survive the onslaught that is my life. Plus the over the top power saving mode is great for when your in the field for 2 weeks at a time.... 2 weeks.... on rations..... no showers..... phone is only access to porn..... god I hate my life some days. Mostly near the end of a long exercise or deployment.

    in that case it is as easy as copy and paste and ensure the new drive gets the same drive number as the old one
