    It depends on how it’s done.

    “This device uses previously used RAM that may have been used for many years. While the RAM has been previously used, we still offer our full and regular warranty and it has been thoroughly tested to still function”

    Granted… i doubt we’d ever get something along those lines.

      Yeah, that still is just a disclosure tho. My point was more the “why” that disclosure is there in the first place is something that’s lost on most people. The technical reason can’t be meaningfully communicated in a reasonable way.

      A good disclosure can cover almost all the needed ground either way. But your right we will be lucky to get that.

        Oh so you mean, this might break earlier than expected or have decreased performance sooner kind of messages.

        Ya, i dont see something like that ever being added, and some people wouldn’t realize it.

          yeah. No sane company is going to add that sort of message even tho it REALLY should in that sort of instance.
