Maybe this can be a path toward independent software that's less RAM intensive. It's kind of wild the amount of overhead that's now required to accomplish tasks that were functional in the 90s when that much space simply did not exist on any consumer product.
Yeah, the fact that so many things just automatically require 16gb of RAM is wild to me. Why does a web browser need 16gb of RAM??? Why did a calculator leak 32gb of RAM???
They need a centralized spying service in the computer. Too many redundant services
