- Why Are Laptops Moving to Soldered RAM?
Sonntag 19:13 – EditorDavid at Slashdot
This year Dell moved to soldered RAM for its XPS 14 and 16, writes Digital Trends, which „makes it impossible to upgrade, or even repair.“ „This was a big change from the past, where the XPS 15 and 17 were both celebrated for their upgradability.“ Of course, Dell isn’t the first to make the transition. In fact, they’re one of the last, which is what makes the decision so much tougher to swallow. Where soldered RAM was previously limited to just MacBooks and ultrabooks, it’s now affecting most high-performance laptops for gaming as well. Even the fantastic ROG Zephyrus G14 moved to soldered mem … - How Space Telescopes Spotted an Exoplanet With a Possible Hydrogen-Rich Atmosphere

Japan’s moon lander „has woken up again,“ reports the Register, „having survived three lunar nights.“ A post on social media from the lander’s X account confirmed that once more, Japan’s Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) had defied the odds and snapped a picture of the lunar surface using its navigation camera.
