📈Data centers will consume 70% of memory production in 2026, RAM shortage will last until 2029
In 2026, data centers will consume 70% of all RAM chips produced. Production capacity for 2027-2028 has already been sold out, although factories have not yet been built. The RAM shortage for consumers and businesses will last until at least 2029.
This is due to the explosive growth in demand for server memory for AI infrastructure. Large tech corporations are buying up production lines in advance, squeezing everyone else out of the market. Prices for memory for personal computers, laptops, and smartphones will rise. Manufacturers are unable to increase capacity quickly—building new factories takes years, and orders are already booked three years in advance.

New EPA regulations put Musk's xAI Colossus data center at risk of closure
The US Environmental Protection Agency has updated emissions standards for gas turbines. Now, Elon Musk's xAI Colossus data center in Memphis finds itself in legal limbo. The facility uses gas generators without proper emissions permits, which violates the new requirements.
Colossus was built in record time and operates at capacities previously considered acceptable for temporary power sources. The EPA is now tightening controls on such installations, requiring a 90 percent reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions by 2032. For xAI, this means either costly equipment upgrades or the risk of fines and the shutdown of the center.
This situation highlights how regulators are struggling to catch up with the boom in AI infrastructure construction.

🛫The US is considering granting asylum to British Jews.
The Trump administration is exploring the possibility of granting political asylum to Jews fleeing the UK due to rising anti-Semitism. The idea is to create a special corridor for those facing threats and discrimination amid growing protests and rhetoric against Israel.

🏡Millionaires prefer renting to buying property – why?
A discussion has erupted on the FIRE forum about why people with investment portfolios of $3 million or more continue to rent rather than buy their own homes.
The main arguments in favor of renting are flexibility to move without being tied to one place, avoiding problems with repairs and property taxes, and the ability to invest capital in high-yield assets instead of being tied to a home. For those seeking financial independence, a home often becomes a trap—an illusory asset that actually consumes maintenance costs and ties them to a specific location. In an era of remote work and geopolitical instability, mobility is valued more than space.
The opposing view emphasizes protection against inflation, predictability of retirement expenses, and the psychological comfort of ownership. But the key point is that, with proper capital management, renting can be more profitable than a mortgage or cash purchase if the difference is invested at a rate higher than the cost of owning real estate. Freedom of movement and control over capital versus stability and attachment to specific locations—it's up to each individual to decide.

🔋Laser charging will allow drones to fly indefinitely.
A laser-based wireless power transmission system capable of delivering kilowatts of power over long distances has been developed. The technology aims to keep drones in the air indefinitely, without landing to replace batteries or refuel.
For the military, this means constant surveillance and patrols with no vulnerable windows. For civilian services, it means 24/7 monitoring of borders, infrastructure, and natural disasters. For logistics, it means the potential for continuous deliveries.
With each passing year, "Star Wars" is becoming less and less a science fiction genre.

📱The smartphone has reached its peak—what will replace it?
The smartphone form factor has stagnated since the iPhone's debut: a six-inch screen, all the improvements are on the inside. Processors are faster, cameras are better, Apple is working on a foldable phone, but there's no revolution. Attempts to create a replacement have failed one after another. The Humane Pin failed to take off. Meta glasses are only a few people buying them, but not as a phone alternative. Zuckerberg's metaverse has collapsed—nobody needs VR headsets, and even Apple's version hasn't ignited the market.
The phone has become a third hand, so ingrained in our everyday lives that only something that integrates even more naturally can replace it. There's nothing like that yet. AI is useful, but the hype around it is overblown. The market is stuck in iterations of the same idea.
The question remains: what will replace the smartphone, how long will it take, and what interactions will be convenient enough for people to abandon the familiar screen in their pockets. While tech giants are exploring various directions, none has proven to be a breakthrough. Perhaps the next step will require not a new form, but a fundamentally different approach to how people interact with information and the world around them.

🇩🇪"It doesn't fit with the logic of the welfare state": Germany's ruling coalition proposes banning tax-free side jobs
About 8 million German citizens enjoy the opportunity to work 43 hours a month tax-free. This method of earning money is known as a mini job.
The labor wing of the CDU/CSU, which is part of the ruling coalition, is proposing a radical solution: a complete ban on side jobs in Germany. It is unclear whether the Bundestag will support such a bill.
The report's authors complain that the idea of side jobs, "intended as a transitional model," has evolved into a "parallel world of work" without taxes. According to the report's authors, the ability to work without state intervention leads to "a lowering of labor standards, encourages undeclared employment, and distorts competition." The authors openly admit that tax evasion, even at the minimum wage, "doesn't fit with the logic of the welfare state." The text pompously asserts that "even a few hours of work deserve protection and rights." This effectively prohibits part-time work without the possibility of avoiding taxes.

🇬🇧Britain is preparing a social media ban for children under 16, following the Australian model.
The British government is considering introducing a social media ban for users under 16. The model mirrors recent Australian legislation, which has already sparked debate about the balance between child protection and parental responsibility.
The initiative aims to restrict minors' access to platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. Authorities cite risks to children's mental health and safety.

💰How many millions are enough for money to stop changing anything in life?
A subscriber raised the question of the financial saturation point—the amount beyond which additional money no longer impacts lifestyle or happiness. His hypothesis: $10 million. Anything above that turns into just numbers in an account, ego games, or legacy concerns, but doesn't change everyday reality.
Ten million provides security, access to quality healthcare, children's education, travel, and the absence of financial stress. Beyond that, status territory begins: private jets, yachts, art collections—things that don't add to happiness but merely emphasize one's position in the hierarchy.
This discussion is important for those building a financial strategy without illusions. Understanding your saturation point protects you from the endless pursuit of numbers and allows you to focus on what truly matters: time, health, and relationships. For a conservative investor, this is a reminder that capital is a tool for freedom, not an end in itself.
It's sad that in the current financial system, not everyone can afford and achieve this result.🥲

😁The world map from "1984" as a prediction of new geopolitics
The internet is discussing the map from Orwell's novel "1984," which divides the world into three superpowers: Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia. Users are finding parallels with current geopolitics: Trump and Rubio's plan to dominate the Western Hemisphere resembles Oceania, Russia's weakening and manipulation in Europe could shape Eurasia, and China will naturally lead Eastasia.
The details don't match completely, but the general direction of movement toward three major spheres of influence is clear. The question is how consciously the elites are following this logic—or are they simply repeating old imperial ambitions in a new environment. Orwell's novel was a warning about totalitarianism, but his geopolitical map has proven a surprisingly resilient model for major players.

🤖More than half of CEOs see no return on investment in AI.
PwC surveyed 4,454 executives at large companies and found that 56% saw neither revenue growth nor cost reduction after massive investments in artificial intelligence. Only 12% reported both cost reductions and revenue increases. Another 26% saw cost savings, but almost the same number experienced increased expenses. The study's authors caution that the era of AI has only just begun, but these figures dampen the excitement surrounding the technology.

🇧🇾Lukashenko signed a document on Belarus's accession to Trump's "Peace Council," noting that he would not pay the billion dollars.
This was reported by the BelTA news agency. According to Lukashenko, the document does not include financial obligations, and therefore he will not pay the billion dollars mentioned by Donald Trump.
Lukashenko stated that Belarus will participate in the council to discuss the Ukrainian conflict, noting that he "reasonably assesses" the Belarusian side's capabilities.
According to media reports, the leaders of approximately 50 countries, including Russia and Belarus, have received invitations to participate in the Council. Bloomberg previously reported that the Council's charter is scheduled to be signed on January 22 at the Davos Forum.

🥽Meta is downsizing its metaverse after a $73 billion investment, as virtual reality has yet to gain widespread adoption.
Meta has laid off 1,000 employees of its metaverse project after spending $73 billion on it over ten years. Mark Zuckerberg bet on virtual reality as the future of the internet, but the market hasn't responded. Headsets remain expensive, cause headaches with prolonged use, and mass demand has yet to emerge.
The company will focus on developing artificial intelligence tools for mobile devices rather than intensively developing virtual reality headsets.
A YouGov poll conducted last February found that the majority of Americans don't use the metaverse.
