I usually do 24. While 16 would do it is not much more and I like the headroom. My latest laptop was 32 because 24 was not a valid configuration.
Could be but not very efficient. Memory works best when paired.
Someones "bright idea" for shaving a few bucks and using up a bunch of old 4G sticks, while allowing the option to have the sheer minimum for W10 (4G+0) pre-installed during manufacturing.
Probably. A single 4 gb stick in a lot is under 10 dollars so no good system designer would do that on purpose.
When bean-counters get their grubby mitts into a design process "less than optimal" things happen.
Yeah, witness the trashcan mac pro that apple eventually had to reverse course on. Does anyone think a competent designer of a pro machine would do things like a small case? With apple though they seem to be letting the art department run the show.
This is why my last three computers have been "built to order". I tell them what parts I want in it, after doing my research.
I would love to do that but continually get frustrated by apple. I fell in love with them back in the 70s and did stuff like solder things in to mine that were not part of the original build. They even hired Captain Crunch after his jail term but had to discard the modem he built because it was also a blue box. Probably the only reason Woz himself has not said anything publicly is it his not his style.
Thanks for the heads up. I use my iPhone for that kind of thing generally, the password manager there keeps track,but it's good to know I can have the same thing on my PC.
I just let it install when it wanted to and then I generally ignore it. You can still use Firefox or whatever as default.
Chrome warns you of compromised passwords as well. It has for a while.
You can run Edge on Wine on linux. I kill me! Edge is Chromium-based now so it's likely as doable as using Google Chrome.
