Plex shares (I actually use an Emby share) are what streaming should have been after cable.

It’s the perfect service, everything all in one spot for a reasonable fee.

I’d pay up to $100 a month for that legally, but instead the studios want to bleed me dry.

So they get nothing.

Way differently.

Soldered RAM is much much closer to the CPU, and so the time it takes for signals to propagate back and forth is significantly reduced…

You’re getting heavily downvoted by people who obviously don’t understand how RAM works. Or how computers work?

Guys, Apple is shitty, we all know this, but onboard RAM is the least of their anti-consumer practices.

The problem with socketed RAM is the length of the traces going back to the CPU. That 100% reduces performance (and battery life) by a significant amount. Especially when using that socketed RAM as iGPU VRAM.

Dell’s CAMM standard reduces the latency compared to SODIMM, for socketed RAM, but what we really need is for someone like Apple to invest R&D into really tiny RAM sockets that are super close to the CPU, instead of researching ways to lock users out.
