Clearly fake. Those slots were desoldered from a board, and DIMMs placed in them for the lulz.

How you know mr “I solder stuff”?

If you've ever seen an idiot actually rip surface-mounted components off a PCB, you'll know. They tend to take pads and traces with them, and it's not pretty.

Now, the OOP anon could have ripped those off and scraped off the remnants, but it's unlikely they would do that for the sake of the photo if they were genuinely stupid enough to pull out the connector.

Ah, thank you. Lol to downvotes I got for asking. Didn’t think my silly name calling could be genuinely taken as condescending, but I was actually asking so thanks
