Today is the day. Major bench renovation done and I'm very pleased with it. And here it is.....
(SNIP)
All 8 feet (2.44 meters) of it. It more than doubles the work space and equipment is much more accessible. Plus room for expansion.
Sweet! It looks like you built it all together at the same time... like it belongs there. Well done!
Luxo LED Magnifier All it needs now is one of these. I used to keep two of them on my bench, situated so I could set one over the other for microsoldering.
Before my eyes got so bad even that didn't work...
I just find out that under the keyboard of my used Lenovo, they installed just 16BG RAM in just one stick. I was so sure they were 2x8GB 'cause dual channel hello? McFly? I already bought 2xGB sticks to get the 32GB I needed. Oh well I have to return those sticks and buy another 16GB RAM stick.
Ok, I have room for the 64GB in the future but how many times should we correct the junk of the previous moron? That's the life of us, Ebay used gear parasites.
I could've toldja the same. It came that way from the factory; not some idiot user. Lenovo is made in the same factories as the RAM they put in it. Of course it's cheapest for them to buy one SODIMM vs 2 EVERY TIME.
EDIT: I've bought like a dozen off-lease Lenovo laptops recently, (3 for myself) and they ALL have a single SODIMM and an empty slot. Things change. Do your research before you buy. In other words, RTFM.
DDR3 & up are all async by default per SPD anyways for DOS boxes (because at this level, they're STILL DOS boxes with MicroSuck's abysmal memory management), even if you populate both slots. Even if you set the RAM to sync mode manually you don't get any real improvement, as the RAM will self-config per the SPD tables so it runs slower to ensure stability.
The only way to get any real benefit from "Dual Channel" mode now in consumer hardware is to do the gamers' OCD memory tweaking schizz; then you have to beat on it for hours...sometimes days... to get the timing and voltage just right. Then, 6 months or a year later, it all blows up and you have to do it again because your timing is so tight and the actual latency or refresh needs drifts as the RAM ages.
Ay yeah it was really close - New Jersey so not far from JFK at all. Need to get myself out there one day for a few days - it's on the bucket list
Edit: the stupid bit is I actually live close enough to the Heathrow approach that you can see the half frozen people clinging onto the landing gear as the planes fly over my house. But it'll take 5 days for it to get from Heathrow to here and probably go via some warehouse 200 miles away.
Edit 2: so I hit Google maps and drop the pin randomly in NJ then hit street view and what do I land on? Someone letting their dog piss up a mail box
Yes, that's where they put the people who sign up for "stand-by" seating.
They used to call it "Steerage", but since the Titanic and Lusitania, that class ticket has bad mojo. Dude... I routinely have packages take a day or two to get to CA or NY from Asia... then ~2 weeks to make it to the middle of the country.
I think now that since Chump/McTurtle/Lyin-Ryan have slashed the USPS budget yet again, the ePacket service that WE created to serve US businesses doing R&D with China-made components has now become not only not a priority, but is "officially unofficially" relegated to "Last-Class" or "No-Class" service where if there's NOTHING ELSE to stuff in a hole in the container, even balled-up garbage, THEN it gets to go to the next stop. But not a single second quicker.
Because you know... the Chinese. Never mind that they STILL hold half the debt we carry in our endless war for oil... lets fuck our own people because it LOOKS like we're getting back at them for some imagined affront, when it was OUR coprolite overlords who moved all our jobs over there where slavery is still legal.

Re: the photo/EDIT2... is it my imagination, or did Guurgle blur the woman's thigh/almost a buttcheek, yet completely ignore the doody-bombing mutt-butt?
They have effing algorithms for this shit, but not for someone/something actually taking a shit? SERIOUSLY?mnem
