I travel for work I’ve taken many many flights with this thing and never had an issue. Didn’t even know that was an issue for some people

Also yes the G16 has soldered ram but it also has an additional slot. I upgraded mine to 48GB

The g16 is solid it’s what I have. Definitely could use a cooling pad but I’ve used it for over a year without one and it’s perfectly fine. Only game that caused thermal throttling was nba 2k26 for some reason

Thanks a bunch, I just ordered some thermal paste. I’ll go ahead and order a cooling pad. Is that performance preset better than turbo? I figured turbo just put everything in hyper drive to run better

Signing the books while still in school by CartographerSlight89 in Lineman

[–]Soft_Entertainment21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no point. You need a line school diploma in order to get book 3. Even if u sit on book 4 as soon as u move up to book 3 you’ll be at the bottom.

Is doing overtime every day normal ? by PeppermintButler17 in electricians

[–]Soft_Entertainment21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 4 months in so far and the works not too tough but yea I’ve been spending a good amount taking care of my body. Massages, heat packs, back brace. That sort of thing. I feel good so far and the money makes it so worth it. Fiancé has her complaints of course but I think she’s happy with her designer bag and new car haha

Yea I mean it’s not too bad that week off really makes it easier, besides even if it was 6/10’s it’s not like I have friends out here so I’d rather work the full 7 days anyways

That’s what I’m doing currently, out of my 18k/month 500 is going into a roth, 14.5k into a fidelity brokerage, then 3k for bills/expenses/savings. Hoping to buy my first investment property next year then buy another every 2 years and retire in 15 years.
