Spend some time on rtings.com, I like their reviews
Without these agreements, we don’t have any say or knowledge of how our data is displayed and what it’s used for, which has put us in a position now of blocking folks who haven’t been willing to come to terms with how we’d like our data to be used or not used
It’s the users’ data, not yours, you rent seeking fuck
There’s also the quantitative easing that happened under Trump. Normally I wouldn’t criticize the POTUS for something the fed is in charge of but Donnie cried about the fed potentially raising interest rates his entire term which kept them from doing so. That left the fed with no tools but to spin up the money printing machines when Covid hit.
For the curious (and lazy):
According to repair biz iFixit, the issue with the power-frugal LPDDR memory chips is that the lower voltage they operate at calls for more attention to be paid to signal integrity between the CPU and memory. In practice, this has meant shorter track distances on the circuit board, leading to LPDDR being soldered down as close to the processor as possible.
LPCAMM2 is intended to address this by putting LPDDR onto a circuit board module that is “cleverly designed to mount right up next to the CPU,” with “very short traces to help maximize signal integrity,” the iFixit team explains in a blog and video detailing their hands-on with the ThinkPad P1 Gen 7.
Damn, I wish I knew about this workaround before the takedown, I know someone who could benefit from it
