All it takes is putting a SODIMM socket into the device instead of soldering in the RAM, making it possible to salvage the device if the RAM begins to fail. It’s a basic laptop, meant for browsing/writing documents, I can’t really see anyone swapping in 16 gb of ram to a device like this, and seeing any performance uplift.

The laptop is built on an A18 Pro, a mobile chip first seen in the iPhone 16 Pro, which limits the machine to 8 GB of RAM. Storage comes in 256 or 512 GB, and whichever one you buy is the one you keep.

They could have easily made the RAM and Storage user serviceable/upgradeable, and from what I can find, they don’t provide a way for the enduser to expand storage with a secondary SSD/HDD either, so you’re either forced to carry around an external hard drive for a product that is meant to be portable, or use cloud storage where you might not always have reliable access to the internet/data caps.Anecdotal, but the only component that has ever failed on me is a hard drive, if that happened to me on the new mac book, it would be e-waste.
I actually thought your instance was dead for a while. Kind of funny finding out it’s still around on a post about another instance being offline.

3·1 month agoIf Steam is running in the background, it could be taking your controller input and remapping it to a keyboard and mouse input. You can quickly check by fully exiting Steam and seeing if your controller is detected correctly. If it is, you can try adding pcsx2 as a non-steam game like the other comment suggested (but then you would need to do this for every other non-steam game using a controller), or you could disable Steam Input for “Non-game controller layouts”.
With your controller connected, open steam in the upper left, and open to Settings > Controller > Desktop Layout > Edit. From there, disable Steam Input, and see if PCSX2 starts detecting your controller as a controller instead of a mouse and keyboard.

It’s an issue with VA panels starting cold. You probably notice that it’s more common when the temperature in the room is cold.
If your monitor has a startup graphic when powered on, or its settings menu appears at the bottom of your screen/overlap with the affected area, you’ll know the issue is with the panel and not your gpu/cables if the artifacts appear over top of the menu.
My MSI Optix G24C has the same issues (uses a VA panel manufactured by Samsung), and can take a couple min to warm up if the room is cold and hasn’t been used in a while. The issue typically goes away in the summer/resolves itself faster.

It shows for me, are you accidently filtering it out because of how you’re sorting posts?

Have you checked that you haven’t blocked the person posting?
Also, those posts in the signed out view all have the English tag set, you may need to go into your settings and add English to your selected languages. Keep Undetermined selected as a fallback for when people do not set a language for their posts/comments.
Bots advertising crypto scam. If you look at the first comments they’re essentially all the same nonsense and just adding in random buzz words associated with crypto/ai.

1·2 years agoYour subscription list is hidden when you’re currently viewing a community or a user’s profile. It should be at the bottom of your sidebar on the right if you’re on https://lemmy.world/ or whatever instance your account belongs to when using the default desktop view.
You can also use something like https://old.lemmy.world/ and your subscriptions will be in the dropdown in the upper left under “my communities”. This can be viewed even when viewing another community/user’s profile.

10·2 years agoA little more complicated than that, if you want to go to a community hosted on your instance (in your case lemmy.ml), you would go to
https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy. This is different from the Ask lemmy hosted at lemmy.world.To navigate to this community hosted on lemmy.world from your instance, you would instead use

It was more so a comment that they could have used a connector for the ram to make it user serviceable, instead of soldered on, and I combined it with a sentence that the storage should be user serviceable and upgradable instead of making my earlier comment overly explicit/wordy. The quote I took from ifixit right above even says that the mobile chip is why it was limited to 8 GB of RAM.
Some changes would have to the layout be made to accommodate fitting a physical stick instead of just the soldered modules, but there’s CAD software that plots traces, so that really shouldn’t be an issue.
