In this day in age, and if you’re an average user, I’d be surprised if you didn’t max out more often with 8 gigs of ram, compared to those with 16 gigs of ram. That’s not to say it can’t be done.

I’m running 32 gigs right now. I’m currently using 9.8 gigs. I have 2 or of 3 Edge browsers in use, 5 tabs in total. 2 Youtube videos are paused, and the rest are low end resource tabs. Steam on standby, Discord open, and Spotify open and ready. Closing Steam dropped it down to 9.1 gigs of ram in use.

HOLY MOLEY!! Look, I’m not you… But I am you in some ways. (348 games and I’ve probably only played 100 or so more than 5 hours, and the rest have less time or no time on them.) Make sure you remove your card info from Steam, so it’s one step you have to do if you were to be tempted to buy another game, to ‘collect dust.’

Stay strong.

Define “proper channels” for me.

That show is totally worth watching all the way through IMO. I liked season 1, but season 2 is probably my favorite in terms of story. Keep at it. =)

You can tend to find season recap videos for TV shows on Youtube. It’s been really useful for me, when I want to see the next season that came out but don’t really recall much of what happened since I last watched it.

100% agree. A lot of my favorite subreddits, were over 9 years old! “The Great Lemmy Migration” (aka Reddit Third-Party App Fiasco) only happened less than 3 years ago. Plus, the internet has so many more places to congregate in since 9 years ago. So Lemmy’s numbers are probably going to be lower overall, even with years passed. Which I’m totally fine with. I’d like for it to grow more in good content shared by more people on here, versus low quality content. This should come with time.

Just this morning, while watching a saved Youtube video on my phone, I had a bad experience that had me really wish there was a solid contender to Youtube as it’s really gone to shit with its user experience. You watch a skipable ad at the beginning that can be skipped after 5 seconds. It’s for a major jewelry store chain. I’m a dude who doesn’t own nor care to own a watch, necklace, etc. anytime soon. I’m also not seeing anyone. Haven’t mentioned online or in text of marriage or the like. So why am I seeing an ad for this?? Tap the tiny info icon near the number of ads, to see why this ad was targeted at me. “Age group.” FFS.

Skip ad and start into video about space and what’s beyond our solar system. Two minutes or so in, pop out ad appears on my phone screen while the video is still playing. “Gahhh.” Close it. Two minutes later, another broadly targeted ad. “What the heck Why am I seeing a perfume ad?” Skip ad after five seconds. Return to the video that only has about 8 minutes left. Three and a half minutes later, pop out ad. Close ad. Continue watching. Pop out ad shows up. This time, I don’t see an “X” to close it. “Wtf? Why can’t I close it?” Start thinking that I might need to exit fullscreen to see the exit option. Do so, but it’s being finicky. Phone won’t auto rotate now. Try to fix it. Finally get it to work and close the ad that now takes over the comment section and video suggestion just below the video. Close it. “Seriously, someone really needs to become a competitor to Youtube! This shit is outrageous now!”

This seems like the best time to start watching PeerTube videos first, then deal with the hell hole that is Youtube now, if I want to watch more content.

For sure post it to [email protected]

This party sucks… but I seem to keep visiting again and again.

I personally own a DataVac Electric Duster (with attachments) that I got on sale for just under $100. It might seem like a lot to pay, but I did the math and figured via forums that people tend to dust their computers 2-4 times a year. I’ve had mine for over 7 years now and it doesn’t seem like it’s going to die anytime soon. And why would it? I’ve used it about 20 times. It should have a life of 180 - 300 uses, but that’s just a hunch. It’s also powerful enough to be used around the shop or workbench for other things besides dusting your electronics. Just use a bit of caution while using. I tend to gently hold my fan blades while I focus the duster on them. It does well, and I then just use several q-tips to carefully wipe the blades clean of any lingering dust.

Here’s a breakdown of the cost. $100 / used 2 times a year / for 10 years = $5 a year.

I got curious about what compressed air in a can is now days and it seems to be about $4.50 - 5.25 per can online, and this was in a bulk buy of 6-12 cans, with each can being 10-12oz. While a can could be saved after using what you need, it has a chance of leaking compressed air from the can while it’s in storage. Not an issue with an electric duster. You don’t have to reorder cans if you just get an electric duster. And another selling point that was important for me, it’s a heck of a lot better on the environment to just get an electric duster for your PC than it is to have a pack of cans shipped to you, use and toss the spent can. And because it’s a compressed item, even after being spent, it’s harder to find anyone willing to recycle them.

Moving onto an electric duster was one of the best things I’ve done to help take care of my electronics. Especially my PC.

Lol! Of course it’s from Devin Townsend! Rad.

I’m only speaking of this from experience. Does that help?

The lattory is a ‘Stupid Person Tax.’ Meaning that stupid people throw their money at it because they buy into the feeling versus the logic behind it. “The overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 24.9. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.” source

You had better odds of you, a sperm cell, fertilizing your mother’s egg, than you do currently of winning the Powerball jackpot.

How much sperm is in semen? A typical sperm count may range from 15 million to more than 200 million per milliliter of semen

Let that info sink in for a moment.

Yeah, I need to comment that no one should be using BetterHelp or the like, if you care about your personal and/or sensitive data being stolen in a breach. BetterHelp already had privacy issues that came to light. 1 2 3

They are definitely not supposed to look like that. Call your doctor/primary care right away. It looks like an allergic reaction of some sort. Call your primary care.

Haha, I need a good laugh today. Thank you.
