Been on 16GB 3000MHz since 2016 until today. Lightroom exports faster, loads faster, processes faster. What's not to like. Was on 80% RAM usage before when working in Lightroom, now on 50% or below. The RGB has no use for me, it was just cheaper than the non RGB version, and the Pro offers slightly tighter timings

Although.... disco inferno!

Can't you turn them off via iCue?

mrk · 18 Jul 2021 at 18:35

You can, I don't use iCue so am installing it just to turn the lights off then uninstalling again.

We bought a new patio. 65 m² of resin bound stone which we think looks fantastic.

I need to take better pictures.

Thank god you've removed any signs of natural life from your garden

Yes, because those 2 photos obviously show the garden in its entirety. Whilst I did purchase the grass, plants and everything else in the garden I didn't pay for them on Friday so didn't feel the need to show a picture of them. That OK with you?

Went to Silverstone for 3 days. Brutal heat meant sweaty caps, so kept getting new ones

This. Really weird choice for a patio material. But if you're happy, that's all that matters.

Raymond Lin · 19 Jul 2021 at 09:24

There is only 1 question on that patio, it might be the photo but is there a gradient built in away from the house? If you see where i am going with this?

{SAS}TB · 19 Jul 2021 at 09:41

That certainly is an expanse of bonded resin. It could be the angle of the pictures but does seem to grade towards the house?

Hope there is some drainage channel, gravel or something to soak up / disburse the run off

It's the photo, the surface is level.

You don't want it to be "level"...you want it to slope slightly away from the house. I am sure it is, but the second photo with the fence/door looks to be sloping towards the house.

On the face of it is is quite an expanse, but in context when compared to the size of the garden it really isn't all that big. There's also a big chuck of it that was previously dead space behind a shed (space freed up after moving the fence forward) so we've not lost any grass or planted areas.

The surface is permeable so you could argue that the whole surface is a soakaway.

If the surface was impermeable, then yes. But the surface is permeable so any water goes straight through to the sub base. It won't run towards the house.

Anyway, it's "level" as opposed to level, there is a very very slight slope towards the fence.

I personally quite like the clean look of it.

How much per sq meter does that work out as? (I need mine done)
