Out there, in the worrying world of today is a little #Zilog #Z80 computer with a mere 64KB of #RAM and running the #1970s CP/M operating system.
This little machine is connected to the #intertubes and it's serving a #singleuser #bulletinboardsystem for you, the worrying souls of #yesteryears to visit.
Take a break from today, connect like it's 1985 - here on RC-BOX BBS, the world's first and (currently) only #rc2014 based bulletin board system in the world!
Check out the #alttext or my #profile info for information on how to connect.
This Atari ST RAM upgrade looks like it just ... grew into the system on its own!

@valpackett @jacqueline then I guess your sample size is N ≤200, thus too small to be considered scientifically accurate.
All it is is #AntiRepairDesign that'll shaft buyers like on #Apple's devices...
#Framework #Desktop wows #iFixit – even with the soldered #RAM
The main bugbear is the soldered-down memory, rather than the slot-in memory modules that allow most PCs to be upgraded to a higher capacity if required. The reason for this design choice is that Framework went with #AMD's #Ryzen AI Max processors, which feature an integrated #Radeon 8060S #GPU and need to have the #LPDDR5x memory closely coupled to enable the 256 GBps memory bandwidth for high performance.

I reckon I’m not the only one who finds this screaming ram an all too relatable mood…

“Did You Know?
While the craftsman embellished the vessel with fantastic forms and symbolic patterns, the design also captures anatomical features of a real ram, such as its ‘comma’-shaped nostrils, eyes with elongated orbits, and horns with parallel ridges.”

#38C3: Oh my! Was it 10 years already?
In “Ten Years of Rowhammer: A Retrospect (and Path to the Future)”, I learned what happened in the time since the #Rowhammer attack.
Apparently the attack still hasn't been spotted in the wild and nobody knows why. But a LOT of research has been done (>=500 papers only in 2024). This talk gives a nice overview of the research and the security cat-and-mouse game that happened.
Another good talk.
