It’s not even going to run chrome my guys
zswap and zram
becoming highly critical software againtrying to shove your fat 16Gb allocated application into 8Gb of RAM with room to spare:
Apples going to come out with a 4gb phone and somehow still pitch it as a glorious innovation.
All web browsers are nearly unusable with 4gb of RAM lately. Even with desktop Linux I usually have nearly my full 8gb used. With 8gb AND Windows it’s only a matter of time before these computers become unusable…
lol lets fuck all other computational sciences so that people can generate cats drinking whiskey in robes de chambre.
I bought a 64gb desktop in late 2024, in addition to many other expensive features. They can kiss my ass.
Dell and Lenovo price gouge consumers
FTFY
8 GIGABYTES!!? How am I supposed to load a mouse driver in THAT!?
You don’t need to load the mouse driver on your laptop. We have a subscription service for it!

Cool! Is the scroll wheel split into up and down services?
5 cents per scroll. Because pennies are over.
Seems reasonable. Can I buy left and right click separately as monthly subscriptions?
Boy was I wrong about modern computing, it’s all so powerful and useful!
laughs in MS-DOS
We’ll trim it down so the mouse driver only has a little AI.
You can have a little AI, as a treat
8 GB of RAM would be enough if every fucking application didn’t use Electron.
Or web applications, Firefox/Chrome uses like 32 GB RAM and constantly crashes my computer because of it
Not for me on linux
thank you. came here to say this.
or, well, it also doesn’t play well with ARM, i.e. on macbooks the ram isn’t the bottle neck, its the CPU struggling with electron despite objectively being faster than x86 equivalents.
Was lucky enough to get one of the last 64GB 2-in-1 thinkpad x1 at 25% discount, a few days later an “upgrade” appeared with max 32GB and 700€ more expensive…
Lol, forget a browser, is that even enough to run Windows 11 well?
(In before jokes about windows 11 ever running “well”)
I speak on behalf of all IT Support personnel everywhere when I say “fuck you”
“WHY IS IT SO SLOW?!?!?!”
Shit, looks like the crazy stock bubble is starting to dwarf and eat into the consumer market instead of just bursting…
Infect everything. Claim you need bailouts because everything has AI in it.
Waaaayyy back in the day Dell had a real bad habit of limiting their low and midrange laptops to pitiful amounts of memory to stratify their product line even though the chipset might support more.
Large computing will exist solely in the cloud where you will pay a subscription for it. Can’t have these grubbing consumers buy anything we elites don’t get a monthly cut of.
I wish this was sarcasm.
I am honestly not sure if that’s a bad thing aside from the capitalism of it all. Almost all tasks normal people do could be done with a 10 year old computer running Linux.
I will find it hilarious if this RAM pricing issue causes people to move to Linux rather than have slow ass Windows 11.
I’m positive its a bad thing. It will mean the end of ownership. Our children will be born and their only worth with be as consumers for which they can crushed for any reason the owners see fit. Its slavery and feudalism nothing more nothing less.
Vasectomy
Sounds like a really good decision for you.
