Unreliable RAM can cause a multitude of problems. Corrupted data, crashes and unexplained behaviour.
Bad RAM is one of the most frustrating computer problems to have as symptoms are often random and hard to pin down. MemTest86 can help diagnose faulty RAM (or rule it out as a cause of system instability). As such it is often used by system builders, PC repair stores, overclockers & PC manufacturers.

Carmella Bing’s The Big Distraction (2024) is a hybrid performance‑art/viral‑media work that stages a deliberately chaotic public spectacle to interrogate the mechanisms of contemporary attention economies. By deploying a “distraction” both as subject and as method, Bing collapses the boundary between spectacle and critique, inviting audiences to experience the very cognitive overload that underpins modern digital life. This paper situates The Big Distraction within the scholarship on media‑driven attention, performative activism, and the politics of spectacle. Using a close textual‑visual analysis combined with audience‑reception data (social‑media metrics, post‑event interviews, and ethnographic field notes), the study demonstrates how Bing’s work functions as a meta‑distraction that foregrounds the cost of perpetual media saturation, re‑configures the politics of visibility, and offers a novel praxis for resistance within the attention economy.
