Branduri de laptop

Norm Wright - laptop detail

Eu când mi-am luat laptop m-am uitat întâi la niște branduri producătoare. Și la fiecare brand am citit să văd care sunt niște familii de laptopuri mai bune.

De căutat la Google care sunt cele mai bune branduri de laptopuri.

Iar legat de upgrade-ul de RAM/stocare, recent am fost în situația de a merge cu un laptop (nu al meu) la un service, că chiar și cu manual detaliat era complicat tare de făcut upgrade.

Sugerez să căutați în manualul laptopului înainte să îl cumperi.

De asemenea, e de preferat să cumpărați cu 16 GB, și ulterior să upgradați, și cu un hard disk sau SSD mai slab, și ulterior să îl schimbați.

De unde cumpăr cărți?

adriana serra - Old book

Eu îmi fac liste de cărți, le actualizez constant, și cumpăr din două surse:

Altfel, există tot felul de site-uri cu promoții – librarie.net au prețuri bune, de exemplu.

Sau, pe teme ortodoxe:

Dacă cumperi fizic, din magazin, trebuie să plătești și niște lucruri precum chirie/salarii etc.

Online sunt prețuri mai mici, și e firesc.

Partea importantă a vaccinării COVID

jeanneg. - Second Covid Vaccine for Mom Today

Vaccinurile Covid ale companiilor Pfizer, Moderna și AstraZeneca au crescut ușor incidența unor afecțiuni neurologice, sanguine și cardiace, a demonstrat cel mai mare studiu de până acum privind efectele adverse ale vaccinurilor Covid. 99 de milioane de persoane au fost incluse în cercetare. Totuși, specialiștii spun că riscurile asociate îmbolnăvirii de Covid depășesc cu mult riscurile vaccinării.

Am subliniat partea în bold, mi se pare importantă. De văzut partea finală a articolului.

Beneficiile sunt mai mari decât riscurile.

More sleep

Hari K Patibanda - A White-eye mouthful with a berry

We Don’t Need More Sleep
“No, we don’t need more sleep. It’s our souls that are tired, not our bodies. We need nature. We need magic. We need adventure. We need freedom. We need truth. We need stillness. We don’t need more sleep, we need to wake up and live.”
Brooke Hampton

I like to think that in order to do more things, some concessions need to be made. We should still sleep, but at times we need to do other things.

There are occasions when sleep is not that good.

Arguments

Hari K Patibanda - A Pair of Wood Sandpipers fighting for the perch

Three stories:

  • A client is upset with me. I get defensive and try to present the situation.
  • A person who doesn’t like an argument I make is aggressive. I refuse to reply.
  • I posted a photo on 9Gag; I got an aggressive comment. I ignored the aggressiveness and tried to present something optimistic.

I think the latter option is the best. Try to find something good in an argument.

Sometimes, in arguments, I have two opposing tendencies:

  • To reply to everything that is said.
  • To not reply to something that is said aggressively.

I recently found a better option – reply just partially and try to improve on the conversation.

And perhaps not get offended easily? (easier said than done)

How to read news from people/pages on Facebook?

BRICK 101 - Brik Book | LEGO Compatible MacBook Case

Sometimes, I talk to people saying one of the following:

  • „Facebook constantly feeds me with lots of advertising”;
  • „Facebook only rarely, if ever, shows me your messages.”

Sure, if you go to Facebook.com and allow Facebook to determine what is essential for you, then you’ll have the above issues.

How to fix this? Two solutions:

  • Unfollow most people; I only follow a handful of people;
  • Instead of allowing Facebook to create a newsfeed for me, I visit the people/entities profiles/pages; so, I don’t read Facebook.com, but I read, for example, Facebook.com/undeiesiminconstanta – I periodically visit URLs like these. I have created bookmarks and a folder for those bookmarks, and, with various periodicity, I visit those URLs.

A house by the beach

Pasăre la mare, pe plajă

I see people deciding where to build a house in Romania. And people constantly choose places far from the sea. I even know of a family who bought a new place, but not by the sea, but around 30 minutes – one-hour drive from the sea.

„Why would you do this?” I keep asking myself.

I’ve lived for most of my life by the sea, at a 20/30-minute walk from the sea (10 minutes by car).

The air is fresh, you can choose to find a place not far away from a city, you can get an urban lifestyle and a closeness to nature.

There are only a few downsides to living by the sea, but I consider living by the seaside as an (almost) free ticket to being happy.
