Meanwhile, new tech includes the Ayaneo Pocket Play, a PlayStation 30th Anniversary watch, the Tiiny AI Pocket Lab mini PC, the upgraded Sony Walkman NW-ZX900, Ikea’s smart home AA Ladda battery system, and the forthcoming Quickshot II.

Crucial’s news about RAM for consumers
Ed Hause
That’s very sad. I always seemed to end up with Crucial RAM when upgrading. Shame.
James Raeburn
That’s terrible news. I can’t believe Micron are doing this. Seems very short sighted to me. Crucial was my go-to brand for RAM.
Jeremy Harpham
I guess the shift to motherboard-soldered RAM limits the number of newer laptops with any upgrade options.
Godfrey Lisk
I get my RAM from Corsair. I have also bought Kingston’s HyperX RAM. Great podcast episode as per usual
