Do you need a safe space? Or a hug? 2019 seems off to a rough start for you? |

All my settings (Browser, windows, gmail accounts...) are set to USA and english to force google and Youtube to look for results in english but even me switching everything to "american" settings and using Chrome addons to prevent sites from tracking me, they still to (YT will switch my account location almost daily to Brazil) and I get a lot of results in Portuguese. Im not a lazy douche trying to have a laugh. I spent a couple of hours to get the answers and I just could not. On my first post I even described what Ive found. --- End quote --- I'm not having the problem you do. If I type "How does a RAM work?", all the results are in English. I don't need any special settings. I even tried other languages. Comment fonctionne une RAM? give me all the results in French. Wie funktioniert ein RAM? gave me all German. Even Russian is no problem: Как работает RAM? But I don't use Chrome. As for the information you're looking for, Wikipedia is a good starting point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive The confusion you are experiencing is perhaps because DRAMs, which are Dynamic RAMs, use capacitance as a means of temporarily storing information. However, they are called Dynamic because their tiny capacitors can't retain information for a long time, so they need to be refreshed periodically (in the range of milliseconds, that is), and that requires them to be on. As soon as you turn them off, the capacitors will not retain their charge. And SSDs can be DRAM based, which can employ batteries to maintain the refreshing going on. In fact when you put your laptop to sleep mode, that's exactly what you do: you turn everything else off, and keep the DRAM being refreshed, basically. |
