A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
  7. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

My GPU just started to die and I planned to build/upgrade my PC. Rip I guess all I can do now is hope for the bubble to burst.

You can still get one that's 7 years old and was thrashed by the crypto Bros for 800 bucks though !

My RAM is starting to go on my 10 year old machine. I haven’t cried, but I wouldn’t describe the situation as dry, either.

I had the same thing yesterday - I had bought a 16GB DDR4 stick in the before times for my ThinkPad and now it's been behaving erratically and unpredictable. I'll run a memtest at some point, but it might be going back to its original 8GB for a long time..

DDR4 laptop RAM hasn't been hit quite as hard, a 16GB will set you back about $100-120

I had a squiz, so I had gotten a Samsung 2666MHz DDR4 16GB stick back in early October 2025 and it was AUD52.23

Looks like if I look around hard enough they're about AUD80-90 now, so while that's still a relatively large jump, it's not anything like the desktop memory has been.

I think even so, if my ThinkPad continues to have issues I'll live with the 8GB for now and wait out the price hike.
