Now Senators are asking what, exactly, happened to the at least $63 million that Trump extracted from media and technology companies to settle his fake lawsuits against them.

It turns out that the fund set up to receive those millions, the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Fund, Inc., no longer exists — because of course it doesn’t.

20 year old laptops should be able to decode 3-7MB/s video streams at 1080p. 

Dial-up DSL can pipe it, Dial-up 56k, no.

I found out a couple of months ago that DDR5 RAM price was through the roof, but has NAND PCIe skyrocketed now, too?
