Meanwhile, new tech includes the Ayaneo Pocket Play, a PlayStation 30th Anniversary watch, the Tiiny AI Pocket Lab mini PC, the upgraded Sony Walkman NW-ZX900, Ikea's smart home AA Ladda battery system, and the forthcoming Quickshot II.

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
