Generally you can upgrade RAM of different capacities, but only the amount of RAM that matches the original will run in dual channel. I’ve done it in a couple of machines, and it worked fine. the extra RAM should take a small performance hit, but In my case the tradeoff was worth it. I’ve also upgraded RAM beyond the specified max. Hasn’t always worked.

Who would pay for stuff? Ads are not inherently bad, it’s misuse is. I wouldn’t mind a website with one or two ads per page. I hate these sites with an ad after each paragraph. I use Ublock origin, Privacy badger and Next DNS because of Ad excesses. Ultimately the greed of website publishers is their own demise

I hope that downvotes are mainly due to the cheapskate remark, because most of the post is quite correct. The fact that people think they have a right to enjoy entertaiment that costs millions to produce and which not only make a profit, but also emplys thousands, many super skilled, foe free, is just plain wrong.

I can’t believe this is so far down. I do SMB tech support. I have clients where I have installed cable, wifi and power lane. In one case cable, wifi, and wifi,/cable powerline.
Which is best? Depends on your use case. Is cable, 2m away from the router best? Well, if you use a laptop that moves from the desk several times a day, it becomes a pain.
