X-ALT-PFP: a white-haired catgirl with big fluffy ears, blushing deeply and smiling like a cat who knows something that you don't. her shirt is red, the bow on her hair is red, and the eyes behind her square glasses are red. the background is reminiscent of a halo.
PRONOUN: it

interesting, I guess they didn't want to touch the card edge with probes, or else there was perhaps some other reason to bring both of them out
I'm thinking that the lines would continue straight down until forming a row of PTH test points

(the pins in card edge sockets tend to be thin and centered, so I think they wouldn't make contact with those strips)
a big unanswered question here is: why not use a flying probe or something to make contact with the card edge plated contacts for programming? I suspect (I can't see it) that the PCB is double sided, so maybe the thin strips are used to bring all of the pins to one side or something

my personal theory is that it's intended for the ground/power (left/right/center) to make contact first, and for the other pins (with the thin strips) to not make contact with the pins until later
so why keep the thin strip? factory testing! before the board had been cut off to make the card edge connector, it was connected to something else (a row of testpoints?) for factory testing or programming, since nobody wants to insert each cartridge one by one

i don't think i've ever tried to optimize for comfortable sleep until like a few weeks ago, and it makes such a huge difference for, well, existing

it's quite impressive just how much having a comforter with the right TOG rating, a good pillow, and a springy mattress do for improving your sleep quality

is there even a spec for 10 Gbps type-A ports? I thought only type-C went above 5
