Only when memory capacities got larger and the RAM became significantly faster than ROM did this change. Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search. Due to the high...

Without a charged DAS, it’s incredibly difficult to move falling pieces left and right before they are dropped and locked into place. As soon as you get a piece, rotate it to match the slot you need.
