Fucking piece of shit Sam Altman should be executed on a wooden plank and his corpse should be displayed on a public square for the next 100 years.
I was saving up for building a pc but at this point I’d rather just throw my money in a fire than buy RAM or SSD. Even Apple has better Ram pricing than these goons.
Remember when 16 GB of RAM was high-end for anything a typical user would need?
That really wasn’t so long ago.
I was chuffed when I got a 16KB upgrade for my ZX81.
7 years ago 16gb wasn’t enough for me and all I do is play games and watch YouTube. 16gb means Minecraft + chrome crashed videos.
Now I have 32gb and don’t use chrome and memory no longer causes any issues.
I have never owned any device with more than 8 GB of RAM, still playing games and having many dozens of Firefox tabs open simultaneously.
I dedicate that much to vanilla minecraft, we have very different expectations on results I think. If I’m playing modded I dedicate 16 just so I don’t ever have to worry about running out.
Firefox almost halved my browser ram usage back in the day though.
Me having always played games on a laptop, and then seeing people in the last 15 years with their $2000+ rigs, gives a Winter Palace feeling.
I have a laptop, it’s just unreasonable. Need the ability to just pick it up and walk off. I figure if I spend more time on my laptop than anything else it probably should be one of my most high end things.
