Weedle posted:ok just plan for them. every time your pc runs out of memory, which with 4GB is often, it has to switch over to virtual memory which is absolutely slow as frozen dog poo poo if you have an hdd. eventually this will make you want to kill yourself "make you want to kill yourself" translation: Your computer works the way all computers did a few years ago, and every once in awhile when you context switch, the computer takes 30 seconds to load something. If you have an SSD its not even a problem. OSes are really really good at managing virtual memory because we've been doing it for like 40 years.

Xegaus posted:Yeah its bad, especially if i'm watching any kind of video. I like Chrome a lot too and if it was a problem at 32 gb then I'd definitely switch to Firefox. But hey it lets me brag about having 32 GB of ram in my rig that does jack poo poo for gaming! Install The Great Suspender already https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/the-great-suspender/klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg?hl=en Memory usage goes away!

Hopper posted:Serious question, what do people who have 50+ Tabs open think bookmarks are for? I get irritated when my tab count reaches 10 open tabs because my ocd doesn't like overcrowded poo poo like that... bookmarks are for long term things. Sometimes there's lots of stuff you're working with but eventually you'll be done with it all. But that's what OneTab is for

there seems to be, at any given time, always a reason for me to have both firefox and chrome installed. i've switched multiple times over the years for many reasons as to which one is my main browser but there's always some little thing that ensures that i keep both installed.

I don't want to speak for anyone else, but I know that I'm never annoyed or feel like I'm "having to put up with" people venting in games chat. Life is hard enough as it is an our communities should be willing to support us when we're down. We all have terrible, awful, no-good, very bad days and it helps to just put that poo poo out into the ether. If it feels like it helps to just go off about it with your forums friends, by all means go off about it.

the HDD to SSD conversion is by far the most significant step forward in computer-human relations in the past 10 years meanwhile we must purge the vile printer horde from this earth; death to all printers except the Game Boy Printer

I wouldn't even say conversion, the ideal situation is both. Have an SSD with your OS, core apps and virtual memory page, and then have a fat-rear end platter HDD where you store all your music and movies and other games. Course we're moving towards a world where the HDD solution will be replaced by the Cloud. But I still trust a local magnetic drive more.

it's kind of like how if you've taken shits in outhouses your whole life it doesn't seem that bad, but now you've had indoor plumbing for a few years and not only have you realized how much better it is, somehow your diet has changed to one that an outhouse is unequipped to deal with

I have my OS on an SSD but have magnetic storage for everything else. I got caught right before SSD prices started dropping fast. I should think about grabbing a bigger boot drive and a storage-sized SSD for games I frequently play.

Y'all got M.2 drives or you still using the big chunky laptop drives? I kinda snoozed on M.2 for a few years and then felt like an idiot when I realized I should have bought one long ago instead of the SATA drives I'd been buying.

But I went out of my way to say nvme vs ssd so yeah I fuckin' get it mate.
