This was already quite a significant challenge compared to socketed RAM, but now with Lunar Lake I guess this is simply impossible? The RAM chips are colocated with the CPU…

If apple m1 got upgraded then intel can too, I myself upgraded old routers for openwrt that way recently

That’s hardcore

Nah, reverse engineering board and restoring soldering points when you burn them out is hardcore, restoring board traces is hardcore, restoring flex pcb is hardcore, reball is really easy when you get your practice, speaking from experience, now I’m learning to do hardcore part on those boards that was dead

Meanwhile I’m over here playing in the through-hole kiddie pool or dead-bug handwiring keyboards.

I started that way too, way to go, only thing you gotta do is don’t give up, i mean, sometimes you’ll go really slow, but just don’t stop doing what you doing and you’ll grow

SMD is way less scary than I thought! It’s best if you spin your own board though. Passives and SOICs are piss easy just with a hot poker and tin.

AMD did the same. I fear this is the end of the road for socketed RAM in laptops.
