Socks with holes is different matter entirely, and has been known for many years.

At one stage of it's evolution there were master craftsmen (actually older women) who could, with the deft use of a needle and cotton (or wool), efficiently repair sock holes in a magical process called 'darning'

Sadly this has long disappeared as a new pair of socks can now be bought for less than the price of a needle and cotton.

It's already started to, they have brought out a new model that has 825GB instead of 1TB at the same price point. I think the PS6 is going to be a problem.

I think everything related to technology is going to eventually be a problem :Yes:

Cheer up, the price of board games has stabilised , any they don't need RAM, just dice.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 
but . . . couldn't using a dice be classed as some kind of gambling?

In which case expect those games to be banned soon as harmful to children.

back to "I spy with my little eye" then . . oh wait, isn't that a slur against people with small eyes?

Dammit, no fun & games anymore :(

I am currently not in the market so I am not sad about it. My Dad however is about to have a new machine built and it will add to his costs substantially but he is loaded so it does not matter to him

Blimey I hadn't realised this at all. Mine for 32gb is now £380 odd. That's crazy. Hopefully the prices will crash again at some point, can't stay like this surely. I was thinking of adding another 32gb at some point, not now by any means.

Probably "offensive" to blind people as well. :erm:

I'm pretty sure you're repeating yourself but I can't be bothered to check ;)

The thing is, technology is already 'falling over' in some areas of concern, and I for one can only see things getting worse.

Doesn't help that one of the biggest 3 manufacturers of memory and storage(Crucial) has just announced it is pulling out of the consumer market. Storage and RAM has gotten ridiculous already. AI will end up causing a big market crash.
