The memory footprint of modern software has grown exponentially in the last 20 years. With features such as HDR, fluid animations, monstrous resolutions, 3D elements, accessibility options and fancy APIs for easier development allowing for more features than ever before, it’s understandable why this is the case. However, while it’s necessary to have access to a large amount of RAM to run these programs properly, there are also some downsides. Developers are often too busy working on new features to have time allocated towards refactoring their code in order to make the software more efficient and use less RAM.

Recent news of Samsung’s 870 EVO, 980 Pro and 970 Evo Plus series SSDs failing within 6 months has put many users on edge. Not only have these devices failed at an unprecedented rate, they have been reported to cause uncorrectable read errors that can lead to data loss and system downtime. To make matters worse, Samsung has been slow in providing clear information or acknowledging the issue publicly.

If you’re looking for ways to discover new music, Maroofy might be the answer. This innovative algorithm is able to recommend songs that are similar in sound, genre, and tempo based on your input. It’s a great improvement over traditional streaming services like Spotify and YouTube Music, which rely heavily on genres and marketing to make suggestions. Maroofy stands out because it can pick up on the qualities of a song that make it enjoyable – something that other recommendation algorithms have struggled with. For example, when trying out Natural Woman by Carole King, Maroofy not only recommended other slow but rhythmic piano vamps with tender vocals by artists singing in different languages; it also recommended more from Carole King herself. It even managed to recognize songs with the same key!

In today’s ever-changing tech landscape, it can be difficult to keep up. Many of us are using subscription tools to help us stay on top of our work, but the cost of these subscriptions can add up quickly. One such tool is ChatGPT, a chatbot that helps with open-ended programming questions and “cleaning up” rough bullet points into a coherent paragraph of text. But is it worth the $20 per month?

TikTok has taken the world by storm in recent years, and its success can largely be attributed to its algorithmic feed. While this type of algorithmically-generated content is popular on many social media platforms, TikTok stands out because it offers users an escape from their daily lives; a way to shut off their brains and take a break from the world. The appeal of algorithmic feeds lies in the fact that they provide users with easily digestible content that doesn’t require a lot of thought. For example, people on TikTok are often presented with short videos that they can quickly watch and move onto the next piece of content without having to think too hard about it. This is different from other forms of media such as text-based articles which require more consideration when picking which ones to read.
