hey

[dramforever@mastodon.social]

@whitequark i'm guessing 5

[whitequark@social.treehouse.systems]

@dramforever my guess was 4 but i don't know what the loss in connectors is like

[whitequark@social.treehouse.systems]

@petrillic they're $15 a pop sadly

@whitequark They should make a DDR5 to screw terminal adapter so a licensed electrician can install my RAM

@whitequark @wren6991 wire nuts for the US version.

@dtl @wren6991 :spray_bottle:

[foone@digipres.club]

@whitequark yes. 2

@whitequark Linus tech tips had a similar idea but with PCI-E risers and with a GPU, the answer ended up being meters of it with barely any performance loss lol. Although I feel like ram will probably degrade sooner as closer communication with the cpu is needed. (Vid: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=q5xvwPa3r7M )

@whitequark Knuckles is gonna start flying around your RAM

[drahardja@sfba.social]

@whitequark Man, those are *antennas*, so…maybe two or three?

[eichkat3r@hessen.social]

@whitequark one

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@whitequark 3

[mrgrumpymonkey@mastodon.social]

@0xabad1dea @whitequark It's hideous.

@0xabad1dea @whitequark I so did shit this back in the day…

11 things piled onto a MegaDrive/Genesis? (I may not have counted correctly) I'm surprised they didn't manage to fit a Power Base Convertor (SEGA Master System adapter/pass through) into that stack somehow.

Admittedly, some of the goofiest tricks for that system were the "unplug XYZ cartridge, plug in ZYX cartridge without turning off the power and get infinite lives!" glitches.

Fondly remembering the first time our (then startup) had a booth at a exhibition in the USA, and of course we packed the wrong mains extension cord. Luckily there's a electronics store right on the other side of the street and we try to scramble something together mating Schuko to split phase power NEMA that's cost effective and safe.
At some point I jokingly blurt out "well, we could wire nut it and it'd be to US code" to which my colleague asks "what's a wire nut?"

@whitequark In my experience it t gets tricky with more than 2. Source: I built multiple interposers in the last few years for Rowhammer research.

@wren6991 @whitequark @datenwolf first time I saw them was when putting up a new ceiling lamp for my family in the US.
I thought they were just a joke item until then.

@0xabad1dea @whitequark a true tower of power!

@mrgrumpymonkey @0xabad1dea @whitequark its beautiful
