There needs to be more fidelity than "vote with wallet". Let's say I decided to not purchase your product. Why?
The question remains unanswered. Perhaps I didn't see it for sale or Bob in accounting just got one and I didn't want to look like I was copying Bob.
Even at scale this doesn't work. Let's say Lenovo switches to making all of their laptops hot pink with bedazzled rhinestone butterflies and sales plummet. You could argue it was the wrong pink or that the butterflies didn't shimmer enough ... any hypothesis you wish.
The market provides an extremely low information poor signal that really doesn't suggest any course of action.
If we really want something better, there needs to be more fruitful and meaningful communication lines. I've come up with various ideas over the years but haven't really implemented them.
You misunderstand the signal. The signal is “you’re doing something wrong”. Companies have tremendous incentive to figure out what that is. They do huge amounts of market research and customer feedback.
With SO-DIMM you gain expandability at the cost of higher power draw and latency as well as lower throughput.
> SO-DIMM memory is inherently slower than soldered memory. Moreover, considering the fact that SO-DIMM has a maximum speed of 6,400MHz means that it won’t be able to handle the DDR6 standard, which is already in the works.
People need to vote with their wallet, and not buy stuff that goes against their principles.
