If you think the public memes about Google's AI Overviews in Search were something, you should see the internal ones, basically everyone is asking what the hell is going on, asking if there was a dogfood/beta participation chance they missed, etc. It smells like the whole thing was a shareholders idea, though then again it's a large company, and I mean, it could've been fun at least, but the way it's presented makes me uncomfortable too, as much as I don't want to throw colleagues under the bus.

Am I missing something, or is the (LP)CAMM2 memory standard kind of a mess? https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/motherboards/msi-delivers-first-motherboard-with-camm2-memory-z790-project-zero-brings-new-ram-standard-to-desktops

I have so many questions

• What do you mean 'higher density', you can now only have a single stick per machine or am I seeing that wrong?
• "DIMM is inefficient" okay so you squish more DRAM modules on a single PCB so now you have to throw out even more good DRAM modules when one of them dies? How is that efficient?..
• it also looks significantly more fragile, like adding a CPU socket
• why?! 😭

another schematic picture, showing the LPCAMM2 module for laptops instead, where the entire module is basically the size of the connector, so you only have the topside to actually add dimms
