    Sacked Ukraine Commissioner admits to LYING over Russian atrocities to get more weapons

    I think anyone with an once of critical thinking didn't fall for it, except the main stream media and the hysterical anti-Putin crowd

     

    a lot of propaganda coming from all sides,

  2. I don't have a problem with spending extra for more RAM, I just find it ridiculous to use 8GB for a simple OS doing basic stuff. If I could get away with 1GB RAM, I would ????

     

    my WinXP went from 256MB RAM to 1GB RAM over 10 years and everything was run efficiently, and I like it that way

     

    giving it more RAM and your Windows will just keep eating it up with stupid process and stupid things. You need to starve that beast ????

     

  3. Germany and France were the lazy ones for the Minsk accord, they were to follow up on the ceasefire and ask Ukraine to comply to the accords that they signed, but of course, Zelensky freshly elected completely ignored that accord and was in clear violation of the spirit of the accord to move things forward.

     

    It's the collective laziness of EU leaders that triggered the situation, they knew Russia would react eventually, or maybe they were simply testing Putin to see how far he would go. I guess they have their answers now.

     

    Except the EU leaders were not on the font lines and were taking any risk, it's the poor civilians in Ukraine.

     

    They played Russian Roulette, and they lost.

    You lucky buggers and if you kick Greece into touch also the Franc-German alliance will go from strength to strength to Dominate Europe again so with Putin pretending to be Peter The Great 11, looks like a good return to the past

    that would be a better future than the last 25 disastrous years for the EU

     

    I understand perfectly the Brits for leaving the EU, it wasn't completely out of any good sense

    Sooner or later the USA & UK will get involved in military support for the Ukraine

    they don't have the international support for it, and the last thing the US needs is to lose another war,

     

    without the needed coalition covering up their military incompetence, it's not going to happen

     

    but again, with Biden, anything is possible on his "good" days ????

    Windows 10 needs about 8GB of ram to spread its wings and get the optimal performance

    Windows had always loved spreading its wings with more RAM, but it seems to be working perfectly fine with 4GB, which surprised me too

     

    maybe the RAM on Video Card GPU is being solicited more for heavy UI interactions than the general CPU and RAM

    Surely not running VM's with any sort of mulitasking, right?

    I do actually, allocating 600MB to run Linux VMs, works great. Unless you are doing something crazy, 600MB RAM for a Linux WMs is perfectly acceptable. Most people have no clue and oversize everything because they have  no idea what to do. A bit like an Indian tailor oversizing a suit to make sure your fat <deleted> can fit in ????

    What would be the point of limiting it to 1GB if you only have 4GB of ram on Windows10?

    because Win10 is now using RAM instead of swap as the main source of memory, or some applications bypass the swap thing and go direct to RAM, without the OS playing stupid tricks with the Swap. Wouldn't have worked under WinXP or Win7. Found this running some AI project, swap file would stay the same and not grow, yet full RAM was being used. Go figure.

    unfortunately 4 GB RAM is not enought for the modern Web, and even Windows 10 alone. I believe your system is swapping hard thus lowering the overall performance and the lifespan of the SSD. Check the size of C:\pagefile.sys file while browsing the Web.

     

     

    nope, not even close. Swap file is 256MB and no swapping, full 4GB used

     

    Win10 dramatically changed the way it manages RAM and swap, not like before

     

    I have limited my SWAP to 256MB on 4 partitions, and never swap above 1GB
