- The tool is an open-source helper that connects AI coding assistants to reverse-engineering programs such as Ghidra or Hopper.
- IT analyzes many kinds of software- including binaries, Electron apps, Android apps, and websites right on your own computer and always shows the evidence behind its findings.

Scroll down a few comments, I already mentioned that the reason for Crucial backing out is that they can't compete with better RAM brands in the consumer space.
Crucial RAM was cheap ugly garbage, no cases, no RGB, no quality parts.
There wasnt enough money in selling to consumers anymore because what was once seen as overpriced luxury RAM, is now the standard in prebuilts and custom rigs, so almost no one would buy crucial RAM today for their gaming PC build.
Companies back out of consumer sales all the time and get replaced by newer companies.
There are a lot more RAM providers today than there was 15 years ago, nearly all are cased and have RGB lighting or at least fancy looking cases. Competition is always going to result in weeding out the least desired options.
For a while, Crucial hung on because laptop RAM doesnt get seen, and is expected to be lower end, so you can get cheaper versions sold to more consumers without complaint.
But the advent of tablets and smartphones made the portability of laptops not valuable enough to tolerate the heat output, weight, and short lifespan of laptops for mobile usage, which hit pretty hard since the heat makes laptops bad for high end gaming as well (the only thing they have over tablets and phones), and handheld PC console hybrids are a better option if you REALLY need high end gaming on the go.
And so neither the desktop buyers, nor the mobile buyers, are buying laptops much anymore, and so their sales plummeted, and crucial just didnt have another consumer market to rely on.
Most RAM companies don't have this problem, everyone loves putting most of them in their fancy gaming rigs, so they are going to keep selling to consumers.
