Valve’s Steam Deck OLED will be ‘intermittently’ out of stock because of the RAM crisis
Valve’s Steam Deck OLED website say that it may be out of stock “intermittently in some regions due to memory and storage shortages.”

Security issues back in the day: by executing a specially prepared code you can place private data of some process in CPU's cache, and then predict its contents using a timing attack 💪.
Security issues today: I opened a big file and ran out of memory 😭.

DOUBLE STANDARDS:Why did the IOC PUNISH Heraskevych for the HELMET OF MEMORY of the FALLEN athletes?: https://benborges.xyz/2026/02/14/double-standardswhy-did-the-ioc.html

As a first-year undergrad, I took intro to film. We had to write about a movie of our choice. For whatever reason, I chose "Mr. Mom." My memory of it, which I'd seen as a kid when it came out, was of playful subversion of gender conventions. Holy shit was I wrong. So I wrote a paper about sexism, with some xenophobia I'd totally missed the first time thrown in too. It probably wasn't a good paper, but writing it really helped flush my system of a certain kind of pernici…

After spending the last few weeks watching the #Artemis live stream, I brought the family to Huntsville, AL and the U.S. Space and Rocket Center. I went to Space Camp and Space Academy when I was a kid, so this whole place is a core memory for me. Time to geek out!

#Software peeps: do you still do box diagrams to work out how your structures will sit in memory?

As part of the ongoing effort to reduce VRAM bloat in ngscopeclient I've added some nice debug tools (currently accessible by Window | Memory Analysis but that will probably get moved to the debug menu at some point) to show you the full list of AcceleratorBuffer objects along with a bunch of metadata.
Haven't figured out how to right align the column titles but this is a debug visualization so not a huge priority.
Rows with more than 10% overhead (capacity > 1.1*size)…

Fuck. I was wondering what was going on with my computer since it was so slow, but I assumed it was topaz AI working in the background. Then I got this alert.
Had just updated the BRAW Toolbox plug-in, and when I ran activity monitor I watched that plug-in go from single digit gigabytes of memory to over 80. Meanwhile I was wondering what on earth was causing my MacBook Pro to literally /run down the battery/ while plugged into mains power...
Seems that plugin is dodgy...

Between Security and Memory: Ukraine in the Political Rhetoric of Polish President Karol Nawrocki: https://benborges.xyz/2026/03/02/between-security-and-memory-ukraine.html

My road bike has a BB30 (press-fit) bottom bracket. Yesterday I noticed it was creaking, so I pulled out my $50 BB30 removal tool, refreshed my memory on how to remove a bottom bracket with a bit of YouTube, pulled the thing apart, cleaned and greased everything, put it back together, and now it doesn’t creak. So satisfying. #BikeTooter

So, I have an answer to my previous question about GPU transfer efficiency.
Original code: write data to staging buffer on CPU, vkCopyBuffer to GPU local memory, run int-float32 conversion on GPU out of that buffer. The copy operation shows 50% SM occupancy by compute warps, 50% unallocated warp slots in active SMs.
GPU memory write bandwidth is sitting around 2%, about 1.9 ms copy/shader run time.

Very handy to be able to add a note (for my own memory) when I block someone!
