J'ai accédé à la carte contrôleur et je pense avoir identifié la RAM, mais celle-ci est soudée.
Là on est au dessus de mes compétences de réparation. Plutôt que de risquer un remplacement hasardeux et gâcher un module mémoire (en supposant que j'arrive à trouver la bonne réf), je vais plutôt la laisser pour pièces à qui le souhaite à venir récupérer proche de Bondy (ou j'envoie par transporteur / relais, mais dans ce cas vous payez les frais de port).

Never underestimate the impact of open source on long-term development in innovation in hardware and software.

I remember discussions claiming that RISC-V would never compete with other processors, and so on. It reminds me of the discussions in the late nineties where people said Linux was nice but would never compete with SunOS, AIX, or HP/UX.

People should focus on RISC-V, not just ARM or other proprietary architecture.

Looking at recent changes and RISC-V evolutions:

🔗 2D 32-bit RISC-V processor electronicsweekly.com/news/bus

The original open source design is based on 🔗 github.com/olofk/serv SERV - The SErial RISC-V CPU made by Olof Kindgren

When Prof. Krste Asanović and graduate student Yunsup Lee started the open-source project 10 years ago, I suppose they didn’t expect such an impact today. And it seems to be just the beginning.

"Those well-meaning agitators at the Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) are back, this time with an interactive "Electronic Waste Graveyard" cataloging a range of devices tossed aside after software support expires or cloud connections flatline.... its latest effort is an online 'rogues' gallery' showcasing more than 100 tech products that no longer function properly or were effectively junked after manufacturers ended support."

I'm using Thinkpad X220 with second generation i5 and 16GB RAM.

I have RHEL 9.5 (Alma with Plasma 5) and run constantly:
- Zen (firefox) with many tabs
- VSCode with Copilot
- GIMP
- PromotionNG via Q4Wine
- Tuba (podcasts)
- Slack, Signal, Discord

5+ days of this and I see no speed downgrade. Everything is smooth and super stable. I do not need to say anything more about the build quality of retro Thinkpads. For now it is the best PC I got.
