OMG!

I hope it missed the RAM, Graphics Card and SSDs.

PS: Update - judging by the pictures somebody posted, the bullet hit a DIMM module. TRAGEDY!!!

Looks like it got a ram bar. Also what would deflect the bullet if it missed everything?

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Have you seen the price of DIMM modules nowadays?!

Jumping in front of the bullet would've hurt less!

insurance is paying it out regardless, and the gun owner said if it doesnt, theyd pay it off.

the cost between the gun owner and insuance will probably cover it.

That's assuming it's DDR4.

For DDR5 you probably need the extended insurance that also covers Jewellery and Luxury Goods.

grave mistake saying that publicly

PSU, PSUs are still affordable, for now

I wonder if they'll have to pay for the single module or the set

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 13 hours ago

Unless you can buy a single stick insurance will have to pay out for all the purchase of a new kit because you can't go into a store and say I want part of the kit here is part of the money.
