personally this feelsike a tipping point to me, in a good way.
more and more and more systems have soldered down ram, because it's way way way smaller footprint.
there's some chance dell has some gross nasty vulgar drm in this solution. but probably not. it's probably reverse engineerable with not much effort. and it's a tiny little modular dual channel ram solution. this is desperately needed.
it's absurd such a stupid obvious helpful minor shoft hadnt happened. there's literally nothing new here, it's just a form factor shift. this is obvious beyond belif. but it's been easier to solder down ram & thats what this cheapskate industry has gone. good for dell for doing what is obvious & in reach. hopefully this starts the trend, hopefully this spreads.
- viraptor 5y agoYeah, the article mentions "if they open it", but really the question is "if they patent it". If others can implement the same and the design works - this seems like a great move. Of course if they're trying to just make licensing money that way, I hope the whole idea crashes and someone reimplements it in an accessible way...
