What It Takes to Break a RAM with ESD (ft. Linus Tech Tips) - Summary

Summary

The summary is:

The speaker is a tech YouTuber who collaborates with another tech YouTuber, Linus, to test the effects of electrostatic discharge (ESD) on RAM modules. They use an ESD gun to charge their bodies and zap the RAM with their fingers, but they fail to kill it after many attempts. They remove the heat spreader from the RAM and increase the voltage, and finally manage to kill it. The speaker also promotes ExpressVPN as a sponsor and encourages viewers to watch Linus's video and subscribe to his channel.
