A friend wants to send me some old ddr ram sticksBut he doesn't have any anti-static bagsIs there a do-it-yourself solution? Like tinfoil or something?
Several reasons - the cost is prohibitive, it can taint the food and it is not very good at the jobWhy are you cooking in foil anyway?
Yeahtry aluminum foil, if you can't have anything elseYou want something CONDUCTING, not something non-conductingThe anti-static bags are made of a slightly conductive plastic, that's why they're usedconduction keeps static from building upCotton is not a good idea, bubble-wrap is an absolutely horrible idea - regular non-conductive bubble wrap can hold a static chargetry rubbing some on a cat, then see it stick to the wall or ceilingThat same static charge could absolutely trash your DRAM sticksdoesn't take much Back in '79, I bought a memory upgrade for my very first personal computer, an Exidy Sorcererthey just sold the 8 individual chips, which made up an extra 16K of RAMdouble the memory! Back in those days, they shipped DRAM in aluminum tubesconductive plastic was still a rare thing, and DRAM were one of the first MOS devices (versus TTL), very static sensitiveIn fact, much more fragile than today's chips, but still, it's winter, and winter staticAnd you can still destroy a DRAM chip with a static charge too weak for you to feel, see, or hear.

That's a great answer Peace gaveIn fact I am going to unblock him although I despise his foreign policy ideaslol If he is that smart, I want his input whether he makes me mad or notedit - El Marxista - just what do you consider crap? Seriously dude, it's not okay for the dollar to inflate because of the Oil situation or whatever excuse they are using currently.
Aluminum foil hats just don't work as well as actual tin foilI have to make my hats out several sheets in order to approach the level of brain protection I can get from a single sheet of tin foil.
