Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

Just upgraded my laptop from 16GB to 64GB RAM. It's amazing!

I also have a hard drive upgrade planned but will try a different OS this time, so needs a bit more planning (going from Nobara to Bazzite). Will be going from 1TB to 4TB storage.

That's a nice upgrade! Haven't seen the need to go past 16GB on my laptop or 32GB on my desktop. Although I don't really do anything that demanding any more.

Sometimes I need to open Firefox and Jetbrains IDE at the same time, and then my laptop chokes.

I have all sorts of background programmes, docker containers, and typically 5-10 foreground programs open. My laptop doesn't like me 😅. Or it does now, that I just increased the RAM by x4!
