automatically turns off color codes, so the old suggestion to use -c 0 to turn
off colors is no longer required.
inxi should always show you your current system state, as far as possible, and
should be more reliable than your own beliefs about what is in your system,
ideally. In other words, the goal in inxi is to have it be right more than it
is wrong about any system that it runs on. And not to rely on non current
system state data if at all possible. Some things, like memory/ram data, rely
on radically unreliable system self reporting based on OEM filling out data
correctly, which doesn't often happen, so in those cases, you want to confirm
things like ram capacity with a reputable hardware source, like crucial.com,
which has the best ram hardware tool I know of.
