RAM Shortages, ChatGPT and Your Bank, Microsoft Passkeys, and Windows 11 Is Broken | 05-30-26

Sam Bushman and Jay Harrison tackle a packed week in tech. Samsung is warning that the RAM shortage is going to get significantly worse by 2027, and Sam and Jay debate what that means for AI, data centers, and your next computer purchase. Then a broader conversation: is technology good or evil? Sam shares his take from a recent talk, landing on this: technology magnifies human intent. Next up, ChatGPT now wants to link to your bank account, and the guys weigh in on whether that's useful or just another AI power grab. Microsoft is phasing out SMS verification in favor of passkeys, but is forcing its own Authenticator app. And finally, a serious Windows 11 update bug has been silently blocking security patches since January, and Microsoft has left users with vague guidance and no easy fix.
