OP is either a time traveller or a liar. Hybrid theory came out 24th October 2000. That was around 23 years 11 months ago. If they were 15 at release then the oldest they could be right now is 38 years 11 months, not 40. Such brazen dishonesty.

I would have thought that after a while they would just become Numb to it

I assume it is the racial slur originally directed at Pakistanis but is now used against all brown people because racists can’t tell the difference. Not that it would make a difference if they could. Racists gonna racist.

Can confirm. Happened to me with my old laptop. Tried to upgrade it with some rescued RAM and it refused to use all of it. It would only use up to the laptops advertised max.

(Not the brand in question, but motherboards can definitely limit the RAM utilisation)
