Some sort of threat researcher or something. Malware. Detection/Hunting. PNW.

"My memory, sir, is like a garbage heap."

Why do DRAM chips come in different column widths (x4, x8, x16)? Why didn't we decide that, say, all chips must be x8? What are the use cases for different bit widths?

And why do we sometimes use x4 chips in PC/server DIMMs, when we have to array twice as many chips to reach a 64-bit word size compared to x8 chips? That seems counterintuitive, it means having twice as many chips on the DIMM and makes routing more complicated. 🤔

Does anyone know?

@gnturk cool, sounds like it's not the place for you then, 1337haxx0r. See you later! Hope you find your place.
@MostlyHarmless sometimes we just hope someone does hit us

@wanderingmeomeo the awning and the knot are really working
@ccriss92 Hummus con pesto? Ya sé que va a ser una buena idea, por supuesto

@mlanger not a ton really, just that it's near a lake, which is more than you can say of a lot of the area. I stopped in there several years ago during a road trip so it was the first to come to mind.

Well actually Pie Town NM was the first to come to mind, but I don't think that actually checks much of your list 😄

@mlanger maybe somewhere like Truth Or Consequences or nearby?
@abdelrahman ctrl+m?
