Do we get to make the argument that if they’re not worn on their backs, then they’re not backpacks? Chest-packs maybe?
Makes sense.
In that case better for efficiency than interior blinds, but still blocking your view out.
Would be handy for an especially hot day or week, but I wouldn’t like to have to keep my windows covered all summer.
Furor might be too, sibling.
Lol
I mean there will still need to be spring-loaded pins somewhere in order to make good connection. And tiny pins means someone will bend them by accident at some point. And the pins are still a little involved to make, so taking them off means the RAM can be made cheaper. So this means:
- if just replacing/upgrading RAM, then no need for extra pins to be made
- if adding ram to a slot that didn’t have any before, then can also buy pins or they can come in some kits or whatever
- when someone bends pins, then just the pins can be bought for a reasonable price, instead of replacing expensive RAM, or very expensive motherboard
