Hi there
I work as a sysadmin for an insurance company and I’ve remarked that there’s been more than usually Memory Dimms failing in our server farm.
Also, this morning my Wii Joystick has ceased to communicate with the station before I could get my daily dose of Wii Fit.
Are these just coincidences or is something actually burning electronics? Is it just where I live or more global?
Is there a sloar storm? Is it the 5G antennas increasing their activity? The Chinese pre-programmed failures in order to sell us new Dimms with embedded 5Gsnitch that’d send them the data that goes through?
Any idea?
Edit: the Wii works again. Thanks God, I hate throwing devices I’ve had less than 13 years. Might have been something with the surrounding magnetic waves...
Making no assumptions about the brand / quality of the servers in your farm, but they do have a higher failure rate after 4 years or so due to thermal cycling and cracking.
Earlier / more frequent if they're chicom manufactured, and more likely to have impurities in the solder or misaligned chips.
There's also a global shortage in semiconductors now and has been for over a year, memory supply has been constrained for almost two years. They're cranking them out as fast as possible to meet demand, so QC is suffering.
