Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️HOT TAKE: if you design a laptop with a power supply that looks like this, you should go to jail.
Laptops should be powered by TWO WIRES and the voltage, amperage, and polarity should be WRITTEN ON THE BOTTOM, UNDER PENALTY OF LAW
my fundamental problem is that I'm passionate about changing a lot of things about the computer industry but all of them are things that would need to be changed back in 1989.
EPSON WHY DID YOU NEED FOUR CONNECTORS FOR A TWO CONNECTOR POWER SUPPLY?
well I beeped it out and either this is a different connector, or they lied and pin 1 isn't ground, only pin 3 is.
it has been ZERO DAYS since I have had to open up a laptop just to figure out where to shove volts in
yeah I've not seen this kind of RAM module before. some kind of Epsom custom thing, maybe?
Phil M0OFX@foone That wasn't uncommon on early laptops, everyone had their own form factor. Toshiba had a different module for every blasted laptop model. Infuriating when you want to upgrade your Satellite or Libretto, even when they were new.

@philpem @foone mind you these were made before #JEDEC specified #SODIMM|s and RAM manufacturers like #Infenieon (#Qimonda) and #Micron as well as the trend towards #configureability & #repairability as well as #upgradeability kicked off...
