Overproduction

@davidrevoy By Darwin, please stop hurting me with these comics.

I need to buy some RAM soon.

@davidrevoy This needs a "later that night..." followup

[bigshellevent@toot.cat]

@davidrevoy amazing thank you! Cannot wait til I can have the print form, but I understand it takes so much work!

@davidrevoy Camera pans to the buzz lightyear aisle except it's all avian intelligence parrots

@davidrevoy I notice that the shopkeeper DOESN’T have an Avian Intelligence sitting on his shoulder…

@feff @davidrevoy indeed

[jdoe@freeradical.zone]

@Minski @davidrevoy I confirm. My avian intelligence says the same thing.

[nini@oldbytes.space]

@rgbunny @davidrevoy They brought stones, they expect they'll make them magic at some point so they can go into the avian intelligence units but they pre-bought so many there's now a scarcity of stones and magic stones now command a pretty price.

@davidrevoy rent * not sell

[davidrevoy@framapiaf.org]

@bit me too. 🥲

That's what inspired this one, btw: https://www.davidrevoy.com/article1117/the-ram-nightmare-how-i-lost-my-sanity-and-almost-my-deadline

@davidrevoy
Casting the "ai" as a mechanical *parrot* is freakin genius!

[davidrevoy@framapiaf.org]

@kitkat_blue Thank you!

[roboepi@mastodon.social]

@jdoe @Minski @davidrevoy Uh? No, no. My Avian Inteligence tells me that more profitable than that is selling bananas. When asking it to detail it a little bit more, it also says something about cat litter to be the next most profitable thing.

Your Avian Intelligences should learn from mine.

@davidrevoy
aww! thank you too for your wonderful art and comic! I never miss a single one!

[toonlink@fandom.ink]

@davidrevoy Aww... Based on a true story.

I bet the cauldrons use up a lot of magic stones, too! They're pretty big, and the stones are pretty small.

[zlatko@social.zlatko.dev]

@rgbunny @davidrevoy no they produced all the fake images.

[davidrevoy@framapiaf.org]

@ToonLink Yes, My defective RAM gave me inspiration 🥲

A good news: G.Skill accepted the warranty return, and sending new ones. The bad news: they wanted the 'couple' of RAM stick I bought at that time, so I'm returning 16GB, and run right now with only 16GB. For real; it's ok: with a little RAM monitor on my systray bar, it's to start to close things when consumption is too high.

Oh yes, the cauldrons use way more resources I need to show this as well.

@davidrevoy soooooo. hoch much for an AI-Parrot?

could be less than 600 gold and could be scraped for parts

[toonlink@fandom.ink]

@davidrevoy Ohhh, that's good to hear! I was worried that they would decide your sticks were too old and maybe only offer a discount on new ones. >__> Though I suppose that would still be better than paying full price.

Hehehe, yes, I know what you mean. There's a flaw in my motherboard that only lets me use two sticks out of four, so I'm stuck with 16 GB, too It's doable, but when my client wants me to do huge formats, it's impossible.

Hopefully your new ones will work well!
