  • Not sure why I’m being downvoted. If your only other option is desolder the NAND chips, you can build a cable for probably $10 in parts. Ask me how I know. That shit is easy. Get you a breakout board and find the connector or a close enough one that you can solder or crimp and get to it.

    Way easier and less work than messing with the board level components, FFS people.

    There are also people who will build you one as a service if it is beyond you.

    Downvotes for adding to the discussion giving a real alternative to a stated problem is asinine.

    Edit: also, if you’re willing to desolder the fucking NAND chips, just solder directly on the connector header on the PCB. Fucking duh!















  • Well you did say the tradeoff of security was “for nothing” which is why I said that. I don’t know about you, but I struggle with memory issues in my older age and would love to have a memory coprocessor that helps me. I think the interface (interaction between user and the tech) will be critical here for making it usable. Regarding privacy, M$ has been touting it is offline (unless that has changed), which is why they are going to the trouble of building out these LLMs and multimodal LLMs and the Copilot PC with accelerator chips built in. It will be as secure as any other file on your computer, but the stakes will be higher for leaks, no doubt. New encryption schemes will undoubtedly be required as it’s on the cusp of being a digital part of the users’ self.
