    Use Chromebook or Laptop USB C charger for phone? Samsung S21

    My wife has been using her chromebook charger on her Samsung S21. The charger is 45 watts I think but I don't know if it is USB PD PPS and was wondering if using it could hurt the battery. The Chromebook was from 2021 and is a Lenovo Ideapad Flex 3 if that makes a difference. Thanks

    DDR1067 7-7-7 vs DDR1333 9-9-9 OCZ Gold

    Hi have 8 GB of OCZ gold. It should be able to run 1333 9-9-9 but I get a few errors when I run Memtest over night. It is stable overnight at 1067 7-7-7. Do I lose much preformace with these settings? Obviously it runs slower but do the better timings help even it out?
