I think I should just stop holding off to "future-proof" (for what that I would barely even notice than what I can get RIGHT NOW?) and get a GOOD ENOUGH new tower (do I REALLY need 64gb RAM, whether DDR5 or DDR6? is it REALLY worth it to buy a $2000 gfx card vs one of the many decade-old $500 ones?) to replace this dying dozen-year-old machine that can barely keep itself together.

Deepsikh's almost always responds in Chinese only now, besides being heavily censored.
Z.ai (GLM 4.7) is uncensored (but not Grok level) and works properly. Only real annoyance is it doesn't support various file extensions for file uploads, have to add .txt at the end. Also it feels like Deepsikh can handle conversations longer.
I don't trust American LLMs, wouldn't surprise me if they send everything to NSA, Mossad and data brokers.

There's no way this thing is going to last until DDR6 finally drops (latest news is it's "sometime by 2028 maybe but probably not" when not long ago it was "sometime by 2026..." and I need SOMETHING to tide me over so I can "future-proof" a new beast machine that'll last me another dozen years like this one has.

prices for DDR4/DDR5 RAM and SSDs are so horrendous now, makes little sense not to just upgrade what you have
No.112583
>>112574Because a nearly 500 mod modpack plus Distant Horizons and shaders would strain even 64gb RAM as far as my pitiful attempt at research has revealed. Plus I built this PC in 2014 and the only thing I've had to replace so far is the PSU, I'm lucky it can run Minecraft with nearly 500 mods WITHOUT Distant Horizons and shaders at only about 16-24 chunk view. tl;dr: into the trash it goes as soon as I can scrounge up what I presume is a very conservative $1000. I have little idea what an "expensive" PC looks like anymore in 2026 dollars especially compared to 2014 dollars, and $1000 feels cheap for a gaming rig for something as hideously optimized as Minecraft plus half a thousand kludgy mods plus occasional video editing that doesn't make me wait 10 minutes to encode a 30 second clip once or twice a month. Maybe also experiment with virtual machines with exotic operating systems like Haiku, *BSD, OpenIndiana, TempleOS, and Plan 9 from Bell Labs for funsies without having to make them my daily driver nor risk fucking everything up with partitioning.

1. the FBI already had the hacker's laptops seized. they checked the GDIDs found in the laptops and asked microsoft to confirm them to add evidence to their case, not to locate the guy or whatever.
2. GDID can be an issue beyond just being an internal ID if you're dumb enough to make a Microsoft account instead of a local account because it can link your GDID to other online activities that link you to the Microsoft account. this young hacker was retarded and careless about basic opsec, read

There's apparently a "legitimate" anti-virus software out there that entrenches itself in the fine-fine print of other software applications and embeds itself into your system. It's called "Reason Endpoint Security" and I'll note that the way it made its way onto my computer is not only very much not reasonable (I'm usually very cautious about the installation step for any software so I imagine it had to have been tabbed and buried as well as something possibly could be to have gotten past me), it has also been unreasonably hard to uninstall.
The typical surface level method you would uninstall anything else with isn't working so I'm going to have to look further into it apparently.

Regardless of the ReasonLabs malware, I'd still upgrade the RAM and sell the old stick on ebay or FB. 90% RAM usage is the hard limit on Windows and starts swapping entirely to SSD (as virtual memory) at that point, but it'll already start swapping before that when you're nearing it (not all memory block allocations requested by applications can neatly fit into the small remaining slice).

>>113619As juvenile as it is the games thing is really the main issue with Linux for now, any non-game software I'd erstwhile used on Windows has an open source competitor I can tolerate-or even prefer in some instances. Given the great majority of my computing is done on Linux these days I'd survive, though admittedly the whole "you need to know an esoteric command line statement or you'll be locked out of your computer and need to wipe it every 4 months" is very tiresome and I now have a backlog of 3 machines that are afflicted in this way.

https://pcpartpicker.com/products/memory/#ff=ddr5_sodimm&Z=16384001&sort=price&page=1Might be a bit cheaper on ebay, just be certain it's the correct one (1x16GB, SODIMM, DDR5, at least 4800MHz) and is returnable (best to do quick TestMem5 test).
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=DDR5-4800+sodimm+16GB&LH_BIN=1I'm not certain your current RAM speed is 4800 MHz, check Task Manager's Performance tab, there's a chance it may be 5200 or 5600 instead.
If it's higher, a lower stick would downclock both sticks to 4800 MHz. If so, I'd maybe spend the extra $40 for the 5600 MHz.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1Su2sObWTg (4800MHz vs 5200MHz game benchmarks)
RAM prices are not expected to drop until 2028 at the earliest by some predictions, but even that's not guaranteed. No one knows if/when the bubble will pop.
