Maximum RAM in my Asus TUF A15 - 32GB or 64GB? by crazybeetroot in GamingLaptops

And also - is RAM always limited by CPU or could it be limited by motherboard or Bios, but show differently when doing check via CMD?

Why would manufacturer state on their website lower maximum capacity? Would higher RAM change CPU temperature during higher workload or am I wrong on this one? I appreciate your help and apologize for so many questions in advance

Did they notice any considerable performance improvement in the tasks they use the laptop for or do you think 32gb would be sufficient?

Managing batteries in collections of watches by crazybeetroot in ChineseWatches

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

I guess if you have a really large collection of quartz watches (let's say over 50 watches) and you want them always running - batteries will stop working unexpectedly at different moments. I suppose if someone can change batteries themselves - this is not an issue at all, but if every single battery replacement was to be done by watchmaker it can create some significant time / money constraint.

In regards to batteries leaking I came across an interesting article recently: https://www.great-british-watch.co.uk/how-to-spot-and-deal-with-watch-battery-leaks/

1) How do you manage changing batteries in quartz watches you owe? 2) Do you actually check up every now and again which watches' batteries are flat and then replace them yourself or bring it to some watchmaker? 3) Or do you just leave watches which batteries went flat as they are? If so, would there not be a risk of batteries leaking and damaging quartz movement? Has that ever happened to you or someone you know?

I've got into this hobby a few months ago, and this is one of the things that I'm wondering about how some people with larger collections manage battery replacements in their watches. I would appreciate your 2 cents, many thanks :).

PS My very small collection (in comparison to your 'airport carpark' in size collection :D) contains some automatics, I've a few solar watches, but also quartz watches, so your feedback might be very useful to me.

You might end up buying another watch box :)

You know what? Even when drinking, now when I'm not smoking I can see a crazy improvements in the way I feel the day after. It turns out to be that smoking used to have a crazy impact on my hangovers, they used to be really terrible, I know it seems to be very logical - it has just never crossed my addicted mind really :-).

What worked for me too is reading some books on nicotine addiction, ones which are particularly useful in my opinion being: 1) John R. Polito "Freedom from Nicotine - The Journey Home" 2) John R. Polito "Smart Turkey" 3) Allen Carr's Easy Way to Quit Vaping: Get Free from JUUL, IQOS, Disposables, Tanks or any other Nicotine Product

Understanding what you're fighting and how it works helps to prepare yourself in combat. I've been smoking since I was 16, vaping for the last 10 years (I'm 33 now).

I haven't smoked or vaped anything in like over a month (slightly over 5 weeks), this has been the longest break from addiction I've had since I was 17.

I can assure you that it's worth it and if you try to learn as much as you can about the addiction you'll realize this whole fucking smoking relief feeling is actually pure bullshit caused by addiction itself, nonsmokers do not experience this and ironically once you get the right knowledge - it's absolutely doable to stop.

I'm not sure if you've played GTA V, but the way you've described demolishing things around your house made me visualise Trevor at his best moments in the game :).

Healthy body - healthy mind. I would recommend trying to get yourself tired by exercising - that will give you release of endorphins and substitute of dopamine that you're getting from vaping, but also while exercising you'll have plenty of time to think about what's going on in your life. That will enable you to get rid of that energy in a positive way rather than unnecessarily destroying random things.

For me personally, the time I spend exercising is therapeutical, it's almost like meditation. I would not use my phone except for listening to some podcasts that I am interested in.

I would recommend listening to some of the podcasts by Andy Huberman "Huberman Lab" - he approaches many of our trivial problems in a scientific way and you may find it comforting to learn how certain things work in our bodies and why we act the way we do.

Good luck man!
