    I think it’s even simpler than that

    it’s ram

    here is some ee 100 stuff not looked at the whole thing

    www.cs.emory.edu/~cheung/Courses/255/Syllabus/4-intro/SLIDES/s10a.html

    there’s probably a youtube video with a guy from India that’ll do it better

    ewww ran into ai slop on youtube instead

    this is decent

      Without more details, it’s hard to know.

      But I’d guess his dad would’ve simply said “ram” or “memory”, something everyone is at least mildly familiar with, vs the more specific phrasing, “similar to a data switch but on a way smaller scale”.

        It’s on the chips. It’s similar to a data switch, but on a waaaaaaay smaller scale.

        We’ve argued about this a lot. He doesn’t like to call them that. The term “electronic switch” is so old.

        this makes it pretty clear

        he’s explaining the function to someone that he thinks is hardware illiterate

        also if he’s really specialized it may literally be the ‘switch’ part

          Disagree, but we’ll have to ask @Xanthrax@lemmy.world 😎
