Is 256gb RAM enough for YouTube?

Britain is where the Canuckians got that from. Our colonies ranged very far and very wide, and for that we’re very sorry.

Sorry.

My company finishes at 4. 3:56 every day I clock out so I can get out of the yard before everyone else and not get stuck in traffic.

My mama didn’t raise no fools. Well, apart from my little brother.

Couple of weeks back I was on holiday in Corfu. The number work has for me - and by extension the people who I work with - is my personal phone number, for which the company pays me a small stipend every month.

I was genuinely expecting a couple of calls because that’s just how it rolls, but nope. Got nothing. It was lovely.

We use Google Forms and Sheets at work, precisely because easy for a bunch of us to access, and our boss is tight as fuck, so it being free is a massive draw.

I keep looking to other ways to perform the few functions we use, but ultimately I lack the knowledge and resources to roll my own.

Yeah, that seems about right.

Anyone who doesn’t think that the end goal for the Cybertruck isn’t military/police contracts hasn’t really been paying attention to how tech firms grow.

I’m mostly surprised that no US police departments have any of them yet.

Elon basically saw the Robocop action toys from the ‘90s and thought “Yes, I want that to be real”.

Landlords are vermin, AI is peddled by vermin, and spambots are vermin.

Yeah, that’s awesome.

Now, let’s see about Red Dead II…

I have an M2 Air which can run the Windows version of Steam via Whisky. Its ability can be patchy, but the fact it runs any games at all is little short of a miracle. I’ve been playing The Talos Principle II that way, and while my wife thinks the glitchy graphics are hilarious, I’m not too fussed because the gameplay is still there.

Of course, it’s not perfect, and while I can get Fallout 4 to run, it looks like shit even on the lowest settings. However, in the context of the gripes in this thread, it means I can play Portal 2 and its various mod packs on my Mac. And they look great.

Speaking as a macOS user, it’s a relatively straightforward process using a specific version of the Kindle app and a bit of knowledge of how to use Calibre. It can be a bit of a fiddle to set up, but once it is it’s wonderful to be able to take advantage of discounts on Kindle while reading on my Kobo.

I can’t speak for how easy it is on Windows/Linux, mind.

I have 16gb on my M2 Air, and 8gb on my 2014 mini. I’m genuinely surprised at how usable that mini still is. Hell, it’s running Sonoma through OCLP, but it’s only when I boot up the Win11 VM I have installed that it really starts to struggle.

No ublock for Safari, which, yeah, is Apple’s fault for being dicks, but it still sucks.

iPhone mini gang rise up!

Eh, I dunno.

I was pondering using the new Journal app on my iPhone, but would far prefer to type with a physical keyboard, so haven’t gotten around to it. Not saying that this particular board would change my mind, of course, but ultimately I do vastly prefer the tactile feel of a real board.

Hell, I’m typing this on my iPad using Universal Control from my Mac.

He really did, which made me really appreciate that I came away from that video absolutely certain of why I think that car is dog shit.

I’m mostly joking.

Mostly.

I tried using Invidious, but found that it misses quite a lot of new posts in my subscriptions. So in the end I _ahem flew to Ukraine to take advantage of family Premium for around £3 a month.

Because honestly, I have no real problem paying for Premium, but I massively object to paying £20 A MONTH to watch (mostly) amateur content that YouTube aren’t actually paying anyone to commission. How is Disney+ almost half the damn cost of a YT Premium family plan? Because Google are money-grubbing cunts, that’s how.
