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

This is one guy you don’t see palling about with Donald Trump.

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.

As mentioned in other comments, constant negativity is poison to relationships.

“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.”

Maaaaate, you must have a blind spot bigger than a Bunnings there

Or they get off that social media. We’ll see.

Hmm, I was going to go with Mexican and Chinese but French has now thrown me!

We only had three bits and didn’t expect such a RUSH

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?

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.

That doesn’t make sense to me. 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?

Sure, not forever obviously. I’m not suggesting that. 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 always buy new kit later.

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.

It might mean you won’t benefit from more. If it’s got 4GB of headroom, why would adding more help?

Explain why.

The issue is that’s a weird alternative to just buying some DDR4 RAM.
