I recently paid $120 for 4x8gb 3000 DDR4 RGB DIMMs used on eBay so prices aren’t totally insane just yet. Anything new is out of stock or close to it because DDR5 is/was the norm. It would probably be cheaper to buy server ram if you can get a board and CPU that can use it.
8Gb of ddr4 is $25 usd and 16Gb ddr4 sticks are going for about $75 usd goes up from there depending on speed.
They’ve literally come out and said they can infer with a great deal of certainty who is driving a specific car. The cameras have built in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. They could be using those to fingerprint your phone.
They use hundreds of smart phones with data plans.
Let’s say you drive 10k miles per year and you’re getting 20mpg that’s 500gal of fuel per year. If gas is $5/ gal that’s $2500 per year. Let’s say I can get a car that gets 40 miles per gallon. Over ten years I’m saving $12k so I’d need to spend less than $12k on a car in order to save money. Idk what the cost of electric is over the cost of gas but I know that I can’t get an electric car for less than $12k that isn’t going to need an expensive battery replacement in the near future.
They also got it on the NASDAQ so if you have an index fund that follows that you bought into it.
