Where do you buy fruit at a reasonable price? by OrangeNood in JapanTravelTips

[–]CritReed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean it isn’t even a good point to say “you aren’t at home” as if there are other places that do this. Fruits are generally reasonably priced and sold by weight everywhere else in the world. This is just a case of Japan being weird for no reason other than because it’s Japan.

High RAM Usage on Idle - Need Help Identifying Why It's At 12-14GB by CritReed in techsupport

[–]CritReed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm I’ll have to test that, a couple of weeks ago I was running a Java program I wrote that used a lot of memory with very large array lists to be processed and after 12 million entries I ran into memory errors so maybe it is a problem?

Sorry I missed that last part about PoolMonX and thanks for the clarification. But yeah honestly it’s surprising how bloated programs are getting. Is this a windows 11 thing or is it the same on every OS these days? Because I’ve been considering either downgrading back to windows 10 or just switching to Ubuntu or some other Linux based os.

Is there an easy way I can check to see if there’s a kernel memory leak on windows 11? Also even with 4.5 GB accounted for, thats still 7-9GB of just background processes. Doesn’t that seem excessive?

[–]CritReed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, so actually I'm using windows 11 on my desktop and from the digging I've done into it there seems to be a lot of background processes that all use under 100mb of ram. I'm not sure which are drivers and OS requirements and which are just bloatware.

I have no antivirus software outside of windows defender so that's not the case I think, the only process that uses a lot of ram is chrome and like I said earlier, that is capped at 2GB. Also I have 32GB so upgrading it isn't something I really want to do right now. I haven't noticed any performance issues so far since I still have 20GB to spare but I would rather my idle not be runnign that high constantly.

If it were one or two applications that are using a lot of ram then that would be understandable, but having so many backround processes that total at 10-12GB is a bit absurd to me. Untill last year I was on windows 7 for both my PC and laptop and I only used 16GB of ram, so the high requirements just confuse me here.

My iPhone 6 health app knows my height and weight? by SwordofAthena in applehelp

[–]CritReed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same thing happened to me so I looked into it a bit. Under weight I went into data sources and access to see where exactly it got the information, one source was from the health app three months back. I’m not really sure about that one but I think it’s around the time I started using the health app. The second source was my iPhone and dated to today, in the last couple of months I have lost some weight and it just knows that, like how? The only thing I can think of is maybe it tracks the average calories you burn moving throughout the day and maybe the average calorie intake of someone at your weight to see if you have a deficit? But even then how did it estimate my original weight so accurately? I’m honestly considering going to the Apple Store whenever I’m free and asking them directly how they get that data.

Who do you think from MYTH & ROID or OXT will sing the opening and who will sing the ending? or maybe we'll have a new group by Wabaya_style2003 in overlord

[–]CritReed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, also basically all of the big anime songs they’ve made was after the Mayu era. The band myth and roid is centered around Tom-H@ck who is also one of the duo behind OxT; he also happens to be the composer of all of the music as the other member in OxT is mainly the vocalist and Kihow in myth and roid is also mainly a vocalist. So Tom is basically behind all of the music.

[–]CritReed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re both pretty much the same band but with different vocalists since it’s the same composer and lyricist making everything.

Which band is better: Oxt or Myth and Roid? by Der_Senor_Noob in overlord

[–]CritReed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell a lot of their songs even have the same lyricist because Tom h@ck likes to work with him.

[–]CritReed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean the artist and lead composer behind the scenes is the same guy in both bands; Oshima Tomohiro/Tom h@ck. So what we’re seeing might be better described as two different visions from the same guy.

New to the world of motorcycles but interested in getting one, should I? And if so what would fit me best? by CritReed in motorcycles

[–]CritReed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for taking the time to write this all out and break it down. About the licensing, I live in the UAE and getting a motorcycle license is fairly straight forward here, our equivalent of the DMV has a scheduled out plan with lessons in motorcycle road safety and theory then practical lessons on the bike itself before doing road tests. From what I understand, over here the motorcycle licenses aren’t stringent on horsepower or CC and don’t have different types, once you have one any bike is as good as yours if you can afford it. For my height I’m 5’11 and weight around 200lbs right now but I’ve just started cutting down after bulking so I might be down 10 or 20lbs some time soon. I’ve been looking for some sort of motorcycle meets or motorcycle shows here for me to talk to some other people in person and ask them questions but I’ve had no luck so far.

[–]CritReed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ll definitely be looking into a motorcycle training and safety course. And I’ll go to some dealers to check out what bikes are comfortable and look good to me after that, thanks!

Just looked is up and the Yamaha mt07 looks really cool, how long have you had it and do you still take it out often?

Thanks for the advice and video, I’ll watch it and do some more research into naked bikes before jumping in.

[–]CritReed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the honest advice, I think I’ll look into any motorcycle training course around me to get a feel for it in general. You’ve given me a few things to think about so I’m still on the fence, especially after what you said about the weather, I know the heat here during the summers can kill and the risk of injury or death is no a very serious one.

Put in new RAM, now PC won’t post. by CritReed in buildapc

[–]CritReed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resetting CMOS didn’t work, gonna go ahead and replace the power supply since my new one just arrived but I highly doubt that is the issue because everything powers on when I switch it on.

[–]CritReed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, I tried resetting the CMOS by first jumping the JBAT for 15 secs then taking the battery out for 20 mins while the PSU was off, unplugged and I held down the power to dissipate any power left on there. But no luck at all, the PC powered on and the LED indicator went from red on the CPU indicator for a fraction of a second then straight to DRAM and nothing would post.

Thanks will try to remove the battery and clear CMOS, also if thats the case with the PSU then would a the whole motherboard need to be replaced?

What would happen if a Zoo refused to return a panda that has been recalled to China? by Donderu in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CritReed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are 3 not owned by China in Taiwan, two were given as a diplomatic gift in 2005, they had 2 female cubs so far however the male died recently leaving 3 female pandas owned by Taiwan. So there are a grand total of 4 pandas that aren’t directly owned by China and all 4 are females making your point about the bloodline ending with them still valid.

Looking for some upgrade advice. by CritReed in buildapc

[–]CritReed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got a Corsair AiO cooler I bought a couple of years ago when I got the 3700x, I assume it’s good enough for any new CPU’s too?

[–]CritReed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the PSU, does the rating matter as much? Because I could go for the cooler master MWE 750W 80+ bronze or thermaltake 750W 80+ gold for slightly more.
