That’s what I do, so yeah, very little use for Windows now.

- Comment on Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11 3 days ago:
Same, now I have Win 11 in a VM but when I boot it I just apply Windows updates so I am booting it much less frequently now.

As always, it depends. A certain amount of negativity can be healthy.

“Oh dear the facial scanning software is not good enough. I guess we’ll need to get government servers to authenticate your social media connections.”

Maybe your Internet will be dead, but mine will be alive in the corners that corporats [sic] don’t care about.
- Comment on Department of War Doesn’t Defend its Web Streams From Hackers 6 days ago:
The truly sad part is that it’s still the Department of Defense, only Congress can change that. They’re giving it a second name to puff themselves up, or is it to win the Nobel Peace prize when they eventually drop the new name?
- Comment on DDR4 costs soar as manufacturers pull the plug — panic buying and stockpiling impact DDR4 spot pricing as supply dwindles 6 days ago:
In the example there is 8GB installed and usage is normally under 4GB. You said “doesn’t mean you won’t benefit from more”. Unless you use that unused 4GB, installing additional RAM is not very useful.
So, to push the metaphor, if my keyboard and mouse fit fine on the 4GB half of the desk and the other 4GB is enough for the other things I want to do, then 8GB is enough and I won’t benefit from more. When 4GB is not enough, then more RAM makes sense.

Silly me, I should buy a car each time I have four passengers and sell it afterwards, to avoid any wasted space.
- Comment on DDR4 costs soar as manufacturers pull the plug — panic buying and stockpiling impact DDR4 spot pricing as supply dwindles 1 week ago:
That doesn’t make sense. If I have my keyboard and mouse comfortably on half a desk and still have room on the other half for all my little projects, why do I need more desk space?
- Comment on DDR4 costs soar as manufacturers pull the plug — panic buying and stockpiling impact DDR4 spot pricing as supply dwindles 1 week ago:
Sure, not forever obviously. But why right now when I already have a DDR4 setup that works fine and just needed some more RAM for some applications? It just seems overkill to replace everything now for questionable benefit when I could buy new kit later.
- Comment on DDR4 costs soar as manufacturers pull the plug — panic buying and stockpiling impact DDR4 spot pricing as supply dwindles 1 week ago:
How does it follow then that one should use nearly all of it at all times? Sometimes I need all the memory, sometimes I don’t. Sure, I don’t get the benefit all the time. Same as I don’t have four passengers in my car at all times.
- Comment on DDR4 costs soar as manufacturers pull the plug — panic buying and stockpiling impact DDR4 spot pricing as supply dwindles 1 week ago:
It might mean you won’t benefit from more. If it’s got 4GB of headroom, why would adding more help?
- Comment on DDR4 costs soar as manufacturers pull the plug — panic buying and stockpiling impact DDR4 spot pricing as supply dwindles 1 week ago:
Explain why.
- Comment on DDR4 costs soar as manufacturers pull the plug — panic buying and stockpiling impact DDR4 spot pricing as supply dwindles 1 week ago:
The issue is that’s a weird alternative to just buying some DDR4 RAM.

- Comment on If your happiness is derived from your enjoyment of a false (i.e. fictional) stories, is that truely happiness, or is that technically a delusion? 4 weeks ago:
It’s not even technically a delusion. You can be aware that something is fiction and still enjoy it.
- Comment on Actors that have been the least believable scientist castings, I’ll start. 4 weeks ago:
As a fan of the 1995 Ghost in the Shell I didn’t like my first viewing of this remake but have since realised it was because of my own expectations. Now I watch it as a different film and enjoy it a lot more.

He was great in Adaptation. Strange film meets strange actor, a perfect match.
