minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•6 months agoIt’s not about how tight the spec is - it’s about how poorly designed the connector is if it is easy to partially connect. You can have very tight specs and not be failure prone.
minus-square@kadulink1•6 months agoIf a partial connection, a very common event, is not problematic with other GPUs but very problematic with this one - yes, it’s correct to affirm being so tightly within spec is a problem, as deviations in real world usage are more than expected.
