What to do.

The judge clearly didn't understand what he was implying. He did
not understand that he was asking for what essentially is an
encyclopedia that records changes a half-billion times per second.
He clearly doesn't understand it's technically impossible to comply.

To wit, he should be recused from the case.

Attention to details

Florence-Marie Cooper is a man? I'm sure that's going to surprise some people.

More importantly, what the judge ruled is that, under the laws of disclosure, data in RAM is subject to reporting. If anything, this suggests that the law is outdated, not that the judge doesn't understand the technology.

The solution isn't recusal. It's getting the legislature to amend the law.
I'll submit my RAM to them

I'll shut down my PC, pull the RAM out, and send it to them in a nice little envelope.

Data recovery is their problem.
