If we had some ham, we could make ham and eggs, if we had some eggs.

Like when people say ‘free solar’

Recycling the broken ram sticks isn't done as far as I know so it kinda makes sense. New memory and used working sticks is hard to get. Broken sticks most likely not so hard.

Next: DIY gold bars. Casting your own is super easy, barely an inconvenience. Just put the gold in a furnace! Does not cost much at all.

Um, aren't memory modules the commodity product that is in short supply?

Are you trying to personally solve the DRAM shortage? If so, slay king.

I didn't RTFA but I asked you were trying to figure out a way to alleviate RAMpocalypse with backalley hardware design and production, on limited scale operations.

I figured t's much easier to take a few steps back and create Ram at older generations venues (a ) thoroughly aimed problem with theoretically more tolerances when working at the night larger scale of architecture, and (b ) vibrant ecosystem of old hardware that can make use of it.

I'm this case, it still wouldn't bear out, though, so we both get to be disappointed together.

That implies that since the first DDR5 chips were a lower resolution it's possible to work at bigger sizes, but the lower memory size implies they wouldn't actually be useful.

It looks like DDR4 was 30Nm at launch. It's incredible what we have achieved in technology, but it feels like the progress has escaped us the way wild horses might escape a carriage.

They also said that every single OLED suffered from burn in. I would count that as a partial failure for every OLED TV they tested.

So it's about display technology and not the price. If you compare products of the same technology and the price you can see that it doesn't correspond to better longevity.

They said OLED had lowest failure rate, which is true, LCD has highest. LCD are cheap, OLED is expensive. They even said local dimming tech sits in the middle, which is true for price and returns. We get LCDs coming back all the time, OLEDs almost never.

Finally, when it comes to price, you'll be happy to know that quality control doesn't scale with cost. Some of the best-performing models were budget options, while some of the most expensive TVs didn't perform as well on the test.

Literally the opposite of what they said.

So expensive TVs last longer than cheap ones. That goodness this new information has come to light, thanks Tom's hardware for this breaking analysis.

Just in time for ram to be too expensive for consumers.

Please build AI shit on our patent-laden technologies. Look: we bought Arduino so you kind of have to now if you're an Arduino user!!1

Qualcomm's pitch in a nutshell

Big boo hoo. Innovate or die. As it should be.

if we combine forces… stuff

I just placed my first ever charge back yesterday.

Ordered an item the seller miss filled the address and won't reply and the shipping agent (Amazon logistics) won't deal with me to fix it.

So I'm done

Hey you're me

This type of thing needs to be investigated in the real world. A picture and a reddit post won't crack the case lol

I remember some social engineering methods where people were doing did this. I wouldn't be surprised if the Redditor is trying to scam Best Buy and is using social media canceling tactics to get what they want.

Eh, I do think it's a worthwhile article, because it highlights that retailers should be using plain boxes for shipping high value items, and also advises that people open high value items on video, just in case.

"if the consumer is not lying, then Best Buy advertised a GeForce RTX 5080, but instead gave worthless rocks while taking the consumer's money."

Or alternatively, whoever was responsible for shipping did that, but that's not the customer's problem. The customer only has a contract with Best Buy, so if the GPU did get pinched in transit, then that's between Best Buy and the shipping company.

Charge backs are a super useful lever to pull when all else has failed. They're usually so rapidly resolved that I sometimes find myself wishing I could use them as a first resort and not have to deal with the merchant. Alas, that's not how it works, but it is nice to have a fallback.
