I currently have 130+ tabs open in Firefox and 90+ in Chrome in addition to some other programs open and running (libreOffice, vpn, and others) Everything is working fine on my old laptop with an i5 processor and 16G ram and windows 10, ssd hd

I can't really game on this, and trying to run a virtual machine is a slog.

But VS Code, database, xshell, calibre, audacity, photopea, even basic video editing all run fine. Granted I usually do one project at a time, so I'm not using VS Code and editing videos at the same time.

The browser tabs are usually always open. Oh, and I actually just cleaned up my tabs. There were a lot more..

I feel like the memory issues are mostly worked out now for most of us.

We got some rechargeable motion activated lights. I love-love them. They last a long time. Less tripping over sleeping pets trying to go to the bathroom. Yes, I could turn a light on, but I don't want to be blinded, half asleep, and used to just shuffle in the dark. Plus when the power goes out, these still work, which is a bonus.

You should get a full dermatologist check. Especially if you have ever been sunburned.

Get any suspicious or annoying moles removed and biopsied.

I have 4 friends (granted 50+ years old) who have had skin cancers removed in the last year. Many, many stitches on faces, arms, and necks

This is my answer. When things seem to be going well, something bad is about to happen

I use it now quite a bit. And I've been subscribing more. Before I fell down the jjk rabbit hole, I hadn't realized how mamy creators were being suggested that I'd never hit follow on, but would watch often.

I had to clear my history because all I was getting was jujutsu kaisen and none of my subscription stuff was coming through.

Today I read your comment twice before I realized my brain had autocorrected all badminton to badmitton

I feel this way about music too. Not just pirated tunes, but copyright takedowns on shorts and in yt vids

Finding new artists as a fan is hard enough. If someone has reposted your music video as their own, sure I get it.

But a minute clip or less? Fans or haters talking about it? Let that thing fly free baby! I've found so much new music that was background music. I use the family Spotify account or buy merch more than I buy music these days to support.

I've bought so many books from authors that became my favs after they did a free epub once that got my attention.

There's always the "do this thing free for the exposure" problem - but people who say that are usually trying to exploit artists for their own gain. Fans are different, they are grass roots and not trying to exploit, but trying to recruit.
