I find 48gb just about enough to run chrome (and the VMs I need to run)... Would love a mac that could cope with that or 32gb but needs meant I had to buy this beast of dell...Originally posted by NickFitz View PostNo actual contract through yet
Got my VAT return sorted. That's two nil returns in a row
Now ploughing my way through Safari tabs, bookmarking, reading , or closing as appropriate. Once again, I've proved that on this machine, around sixty tabs is pretty much the limit before the 4GB of RAM starts to struggle - though, of course, that's with other memory-hungry apps like Excel and PyCharm open.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

My iMac has 32GB. It can handle 64, but it's nigh-on impossible to find modules with that capacity and the high(er) speed. Even Crucial never have them in stock.Originally posted by eek View PostComment

Suddenly remembered there's aStasiNeighbourhood Watch meeting tonight
They brought it forward a week and though I was told ages ago, I forgot to change it on my calendar, so none of my iThings reminded me.
Ah well, that means I don't have time to cook dinner, which gives me an excuse to go to the Chinese afterwards

Apparently a crew from ITV are making several programmes about the neighbourhood on behalf of the BBC. (That's open markets in TV production for you.)
It's all because of that study the other month declaring that my road has the most diverse bunch of shopkeepers in the UK, or whatever it was. Despite the fact that the study was of shopkeepers, who don't necessarily live here in the manner of Arkwright in Open All Hours, the TV people want to show the diversity of the area. For some reason, the Neighbourhood Watch group might be included as an example of members of the community in action
I did wonder why the Neighbourhood Watch group would be of interest to them, consisting as it does entirely of white British middle-aged middle-class people. But then I remembered that for several years now the official figures have shown white British people to be a minority in Leicester, so we are, in fact, evidence of diversity
In fact, if you take the definition of a minority as any group constituting less than 50% of the population, there are nothing but minorities in the city, which is rather cool really
