OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said it is 'quite terrible' for PCs to have RAM, arguing that data centers offer far better memory utilization. His comments have drawn attention because they suggest cloud-hosted computing could replace local memory in future hardware, a claim likely to spark debate among PC builders and hardware makers.

A factory egg-sorting machine in Germany is reportedly still running on Windows 95, the operating system Microsoft released in 1995. The story has drawn amused and nostalgic reactions online, with commenters noting how decades-old industrial PCs often outlast the machines they control. It highlights how legacy systems remain embedded in everyday infrastructure long after software vendors move on.

A Hacker News discussion argues that the world's limited DRAM supply is badly allocated: consumer PCs hold large amounts of memory that sits idle most of the time, while datacenters could use it at far higher utilization. Commenters weigh whether centralizing memory in the cloud makes sense given current chip supply constraints, trading off efficiency against user control and privacy.
