actually I could with 8MB, but 32MB with all the services is nice too for a busy webserver with a 128MB SWAP file

Or thinking you install modems with Regedit.

99%+ of the members on this forum are likely to be running a linux server with less than 8meg of ram

no they can't, 100% of users would have their mobo come with 4GB RAM

does butters know that his bluetooth controlled internet of things vibrating buttplug is likely running linux with 4meg or less of ram ?

everything is linux-unix based. 'cept for 1 or 2 MS os.

as usual with all your posts

See the previous post. The witless fucker hasn't got a clue.

embedded devices with Linux running out of a ROM, is hardly a PC with 4MB of RAM, you clueless little Indian call boys

Not having had a Mac I was told that there is very little that you can get for free. I have windows 7 laptop in Bris and a Lenovo all in one in my thai office on windows 10. the laptop is about 7 years old and no real problems. I have a lot of freeware on mine including bitdefender AV. malwarebytes and glary utilities. Have had a couple of viruses but have been able to fix it myself and i'm no i.t. geek. Dont know if there is any privacy issues with Mac. Maybe someone in the know can post.

There is very little that an average computer user would need to purchase outside of whats packaged. Pages & NTFS for Mac are just about the only ones I need.

Whatever argument comes forth with this one, its undeniable that Mac is safer & more secure than a PC. "Privacy" a lot of the time comes down to your own online activity & the sites you use more than the device you work from. Furthermore, 99% of it comes down to the user to be the first buffer against bullshit. The user and their mouse clicks are the first safeguard against problems - there isn't an AV that can safeguard users from themselves.

neither is more secure than the other

can you ssh to your vibrating butplug ?

Disagree. The encryption used in my Mac pre-log in ensures no-one will get into my data. Even if its stolen & taken apart. All they'll see is 0100101001011100110101

Can do the same with a PC of course but you will need to go out of your way to make it so.

Anyway I'm not entirely sure how you can state such a thing. The end user is always the target. PC is the biggest target.

because it is reality

PEBKAC - is the security issue

do you understand the science behind rubber hose cryptoanalysis ?

I tried but it didn't work,

First I gotta see how it performs on 8GB and more important how the 8GB is configured, they don't mention it but I guess 2x4GB.
If it is 1x8GB then I'll buy another 8GB module immediately.

It was a single 8GB module so another one is on its way.

with the i/o speed of NVMe and ssd it is the CPU/software which now becomes the bottleneck

an M.2 x4 slot is very desirable on any new mobo - desktop or laptop

I recently replaced my MacBook Air battery, it was losing power too quickly and exhausted itself in under two hours, and although it seemed to do the trick I find that it is again losing power too quickly and the battery icon is now displaying the exhortation to " service battery ". Is this a common fault and does it mean the power board is fucking up - it is now four years old and until recently hasn't missed a beat. The upgrade to Mojave is not the issue since the fault developed before it was released.
Incidentally, the new Mac Mini looks a good buy and has more power although I have to say it is probably redundant for most folk.

I am sure most people would be exhausted in well under two hours of having to put up with you so I see no reason why you should complain. In fact, a few months without you having access to a computer or tablet of any sort would benefit all members here.

If you want a birthday present you are defo going to like the best thing to do is buy it yourself so I got an Asus Vivobook S14 S046AU

CoffeeLake I7 8th Gen 4 cores 8 threads (the first laptop processor from Intel to have 4 cores)
500 GB SSD
16 Gb RAM
14 inch FHD 1080p

1.2 Kg

$1300

Keyboard is a bit shit after my Lenovo but it goes like greased shit up a drainpipe at running multiple VMs and building database servers.

it should be obvious that your lower sonic maintenance assembly module has short circuited, resulting in an implosion in the backup lithium particle battery plate, this is because your tertiary resonance brexotic array has overloaded, causing total shutdown in the tertiary dystopian hyperbolic proton array.

if i were you i would get rid of that macbook thingy, look around you, they are for people with more money than sense, and get a chromebook, or an android device.
