I think that #CAMM is a bad design compared to #SODIMM & #DIMM...

Still, just gimme regular-ass socketed Chips & #DIMMs ffs!

  • Also we don't need to make the THINN-nest machines ffs - just make them #repairable and #serviceable and #upgradeable, because #AntiRepairDesign is way more unsustainable than the 0,1% of idiots who give a shit about whether their #DDR5-RAM can do 6400MT/s or 4800MT/s, simply because most users won't notice that at all (unlike switching from a 2,5" #SATA-#HDD running at 5400rpm to an #NVMe-#SSD that maxes out #PCIe 4x connections.

#FACT: #RAM & #SSD|s are inevitably dying due to age and use and like #ThermalPaste need to be #replaceable for a device to work longterm!

I'd rather have a #THICC af #laptop that actually survives my daily use than some flimsy #tablet that snaps in half if I sneeze at it.

  • No seriously, most devices can't even fit proper ports and cooling fans for no good reason whatsoever!

Also I think it's insulting to frame basic things like "stability" as a negative.

@kenji Good idea, but wouldn't it be better to ban #CCSS and force everything to be #FLOSS and thus #maintainable and #serviceable even if the manufacturer goes out of business or doesn't give any f**ks?

Maybe do mandatory support lifecycle declarations that are legally binding for said producers of CCSS or otherwise directly commercially offered software, firmware and/or hardware!
