And the way they do the duty free collection is the same as what happens across the globe not just the US (had it in Hong Kong) where you collect at the gate... None of this has anything to do with Tariffs. The...

Crucial’s news about RAM for consumers
Ed Hause
That's very sad. I always seemed to end up with Crucial RAM when upgrading. Shame.
James Raeburn
That’s terrible news. I can’t believe Micron are doing this. Seems very short sighted to me. Crucial was my go-to brand for RAM.
Jeremy Harpham
I guess the shift to motherboard-soldered RAM limits the number of newer laptops with any upgrade options.
Godfrey Lisk
I get my RAM from Corsair. I have also bought Kingston’s HyperX RAM. Great podcast episode as per usual
