unbalanced ram. duel channel soldered memory

I have a e14 Thinkpad gen 5 Intel 1335u with 8gb soldered ram and a 8gb 3200 ddr4 stick. 16 is not enough ram for my use as a developer so I put a 16gb stick in knowing only first 16 will run dual channel. Now my computer crashes randomly with high memory usage... read online that a 32gb is more stable single channel but I'm...

tomyhaw OP ,

gotcha it is a team group one(I was skeptical too) I have another 16gb that is crucial I think but it's 2666 speed. Will try memtest tonight and report back.

tomyhaw OP ,

yes 8gb soldered. with a slot for a stick alongside the soldered shit. look I don't come up with this stuff but I got the laptop for 200 bucks on Facebook and it plays well with ubuntu

tomyhaw OP ,

I will try this as well, I have 2 16gb sticks kicking around the 3200 team group and a crucial 2666.

tomyhaw OP ,

neither had I and I got such a good deal I did not dig into that much before I purchased. I have been through the ringer with laptops the last couple years and dumped so much into new ones that break and the parts are too expensive that I gave up and just go based upon price not specs. would love to have a dedicated desktop but I have to work on the go all the time

tomyhaw OP ,

haha not only do I use IDEs, docker, etc I also use the computer for computer things at the same time! Like music, browser tabs, and thunderbird eat 3gb ish and gnome alone is about 3

tomyhaw OP ,

will try with a different brand and speed and runs tests thank you!

tomyhaw OP ,

ubuntu fresh 24.04 install. also it's still usable as is but crashes before I hit 24gb usage

tomyhaw OP ,

yea it's a 16gb but yea I agree. although it was in my server for 3 years(laptop that cooked itself)! Going to run memtest here in a minute and will post my findings on all sticks I have around once I'm done with work

tomyhaw OP ,

haha used is an understatement. was in a gaming laptop running frigate at like 90 degrees for 3 years. the other stick is a crucial 2666 16gb I have from same laptop. I'm too lazy to run memtest when I know there's an issue. going to try slower speed and do the testing

tomyhaw OP ,

good to know

tomyhaw OP ,

nothing haha just left the bad 16gb stick in there because it mostly works. It's hard to diagnose it as I use it for work 24/7.... mayb I need another Thinkpad for when I diagnose the other

tomyhaw ,

Wow thanks for posting this. I read the whole thing but what I'm not getting is the fact that their started concern is apks "side loaded". This is aimed directly at the foss community as normal people already won't I stall anything outside of the play store. No non tech enthusiasts go straight to git hub ...

tomyhaw OP ,

I'm not really understanding. I buy a phone. Peter codes and app with foss tools and emails it to me. No copyright or anything bad like a to do app. I want to use said app on my purchased phone. Now Peter will have to show his license and stuff? I guess developers are criminals.

tomyhaw OP ,

Makes sense. Is Google play store just apk files as well? I thought there was some other special sauce with it as well besides just running spyware in the background. This all sounds like a good way to get full names for YouTube add less app makers...

tomyhaw OP ,

Thanks for the explanation. So essentially custom roms with Google play services removed will actually be needed to download to he good apps like new pipe and the like

tomyhaw OP ,

Well I think we are such a small percentage of users that care that it probably does not matter in the grand scheme. I just got on android in 24' when rcs started working because my large family network was always worried they would lose communication with me. Because you know the little green text bubble things don't get pictures and stuff from non iOS... People have no clue and don't care as long as the phone works to swipe on sorry videos

tomyhaw OP ,

Well it says next year. And a lot could happen between then and now. Some comments think they will run into anti trust issues trying this.

tomyhaw OP ,

Well your not wrong a lot of privacy developers get more years than pedos

Regolith ubuntu ( lemmy.world )

I was using regolith ubuntu on an old MacBook and fell in love with i3wm on x11 or whatever it uses. Got a new computer Intel and the composters never worked right scrolling pages or watching videos. I gave up and went back to stock ubuntu. Wayland works well for me but my question is how hard is it to build a de like regolith...
