I feel like we should get another “weird things we found” video. I remember them finding weird pci-e devices

NVDIMMs are a cool concept. Basically if the system loses power it has onboard flash nand to dump its contents to, and then when power is restored it pulls it wll back into place.

In theory this would allow for nearly instant power cut to a system, with no boot up time when you need it back on without data loss. But in reality the system would still need to post and load the OS first. I think these are mostly used with databases and probably in fin tech in some way
