The RAM Shortage Comes for Us All

Good grief... You'd think either most memory manufacturers would make memory modules that are universally compatible with any machine...

Or if that's absolutely impossible, that PC manufacturers would try to accept the most memory modules possible, or at least from the biggest brands like Crucial, Samsung, and SK Hynix.

But no, not even remotely...

So, Mac Minis (at least the 2018 version) apparently only accept Crucial memory, if you're not using their stock ones. SK and Samsung are out.

8th-gen Intel NUC, refuses to boot with SK.

HP T740, Samsung is fine, SK is no-go.

HP T630, SK is fine (didn't try with Samsung, since I only had a pair and needed those for the T740).

HP Elitedesk G4, SK is also fine.

Mind you, both the Elitedesk and the Mac Mini are using the same CPU generation and presumably PCH, so one accepting it and the other not makes even less sense... :blobcatnotlikethisgoogly:

Why don't Linux distributions enable zswap or zram by default, especially when swap space is on an SSD?

How-To Geek: Some Raspberry Pi Devices Are Getting a Price Hike. “Raspberry Pi has announced price increases of $5 to $10 on some of its 4GB and 8GB devices, including popular Compute Modules and the Raspberry Pi 500 unit. The primary culprit is the unprecedented global demand for memory, which shot up the demand roughly 120% compared to a year ago.”
