Apple has a memory problem and we’re all paying for it::Apple still sells expensive “Pro” computers with just 8GB of RAM and charges a fortune for more.
I’ve always been interested in if there were a way to bake more RAM onto these boards. Presumably the pads are there and they’re just not populated, so could you make a stencil for the solder balls with a cnc and buy another RAM chip and stick it in to one of those directed heat platforms. Would macos accept that, or would it throw a hissy fit because of miss matched licenses.
Knowing how hard Apple locks down their hardware, I’m sure each RAM module has some sort of signature that disallows this sort of thing.
