Even if that was entirely true, I am fine with regulation leaning on manufacturers to make products that aren't full of soldered ram and storage, glued shut so even their own techs have trouble repairing them, because of the implications for generating mountains of avoidable e-waste. The ability to fix to fix your own gear is just a nice plus of that arrangement, I agree it won't be of use to most people, but it's still a plus.
- minimaul 4y agoSoldered RAM isn’t just to be difficult. It has genuine performance & power consumption advantages for DDR4/DDR5/LPDDR4/LPDDR5. Storage though, I agree with :)
- kube-system 4y agoYeah, LPDDR sockets don’t even exist. Machines that use this type of RAM have to solder it, there’s no other choice.
