Climate change is real and the links to humans are somewhat clear. What these "science denying" scientists are debating is whether or not we're all going to die within the next couple of years because of it and the only way to fix that is through drastic government intervention.

I think the cleaner the world, the better the world, and I'm a huge fan of the environment, but from a libertarian standpoint, I believe people should be able to use whatever energy source they choose, and not be forced to use technology that isn't even that efficient yet. Sorry.

so I don't exactly know what's going on here, Philip DeFranco summed it up pretty well

basically to sum it up, at Evergreen State College, which is a super liberal campus as is, the Day of Absence came around and they wanted to switch it up a bit
instead of having all the black people leave campus and have a discussion, for two days they wanted no white people on campus
a teacher objected and now they have basically taken over the school and are shouting at pretty much everyone

so yeah

« on: May 31, 2017, 05:34:46 PM »

well stuff I have so many questions

I searched my computer and I found a "specific module" for it on Amazon (for anyone wanting to do this yourself my computer is a Dell XPS 8500)

how trustworthy is this and if I downloaded Speccy and checked would the specs match up

also Windows 10 Pro supports up to 512 GB of RAM but RAM is hardware so is there a possibility I wouldn't be able to physically install up to 504 GB of RAM

ALSO if I open up the motherboard and I find that there's four sticks of 2 GB instead of one 8 GB stick and I have to remove some sticks in order to make room will I lose my files and all my data

Well you got to determine which kind of RAM your system supports
Theres 3 kinds, DDR1, DDR2, and DDR3, with DDR4 being phased in at the moment, and two form-factors - DIMM and SODIMM
DDR4 is top of the line but most contemporary computers use DDR3 or DDR2
Now, if your computer is a Laptop, you're most likely going to be using SODIMM modules, which are the smaller sticks, while regular computers mostly use DIMMs

Heres an image that sums up what the two look like


Now, once you've determined whether your RAM compatibility is DIMM or SODIMM, you'll have to look up that DDR number your computer uses, which is important because computers can only support one DDR type which is determined by the motherboard.

So once you've determined the DDR and whether its SODIMM or DIMM, then choose a frequency and I think you should be set. Someone else can tell you about frequency.

As for actually installing it, you'll have to literally open up your computer case to do it, as with the majority of hardware.
There are tutorials on youtube about how to do this, and the procedure varies between computer models but the concept is the same and is pretty easy

One thing to remember though, always use an electro-static wrist strap
Static Electricity is like a guillotine to electronics

how would I figure any of this out
