Hey All, hope everyone is having a nice day today. I work in a data center where we are currently replacing about 12,000 sticks of rams in some of our servers, so have a photo of a bin of ram for your time.

Is this RAM Ryzen-compatible?

Can it run Chrome?

First week, first real job, I was tasked to install RAM in a Sparc server.

The RAM cost more than I did, and I’d never done it before. Listening to that grinding noise as I installed it made me think it might just be my last week at that job.

When I was working on my PC earlier in the week, I remembered how satisfying it is to click those RAM sticks into place.

That satisfaction probably wears off after a dozen sticks when you realize you need to do one thousand dozens.

Seems like a lot of work? Maybe it would be more efficient to burn down the datacenter and build a new one?

Can it run Chrome?

Let’s not ask the impossible, there’s only 12,000 sticks.

Cheers. Keeping all the things running is helping the most people possible stay at home. Next time there’s a recognition event at your work, I hope the infrastructure folks get all the love.
