Maybe he will drop dead and the rest of the world can move past his sad existence

Brain worms.

It’s not a windows is shit at managing memory problem though. If you have 1MB of RAM left and you open something, something has to happen. A process killed, an alert generated, something moved to disk instead of RAM (paging), or a system lockup or something. This is the management piece. What to do when you’re out.

They only care about siphoning our data and advertising to us. And vibe coding apparently. Such a buggy pos these days.

Well it is a problem when it’s consistently getting close then I get tickets that computers are performing poorly shortly after. You’re on the cusp of page thrashing if you’re high on usage.

Your use case is not a typical one either, compared to what I’m dealing with. It sounds like maybe you have a few heavy hitters, but when you’re constantly switching between MS office, web pages, and CAD and things like that it becomes very noticeable. If a machine has 15.6GB used out of 16GB, a single web page could trigger some thrashing.

For example, I regularly saw Palo Alto panorama use around 1GB for just the single web page 😅

Ya that would not be a sustainable option in my case unfortunately.

This was so well done, very cool!

It’s crazy to me that I’m recommending 32GB RAM systems to everyone now because I regularly get alerts for a good chunk of machines that hit close to 16GB usage.

My Linux desktop boots so fast and I can’t tell ya how much ram on boot but I’m pretty sure it’s still less than 2GB 😂

Windows is like 6 or 7 easy.

But how else will you type an installed app name into the start menu and have it open Microsoft edge with shitty search results?

That’s super cool, respect.

Misses the principle of the matter though.

Yes but this doesn’t generate ad revenue!

But if they come visit you, they might get deported on their way home.

😅😬🥲

This is why you don’t use IoT cameras or leave ports forwarded to IP cameras. Leave it off the internet or use a VPN.

It costs them more to add config to disable on different plans. So dumb.

Shits coming more and more full circle. Netflix peaked around covid, then enshitification has just intensified since.

Oh wow really? Casting kinda sucked anyways. Why I moved away from Chromecast after so many issues trying to pause or reconnect to it

In inferior operating systems they refer to mountpoints as “drive letters”. “C” is like “root”

Agree, but this is why I do both. Sometimes I listen to my local stuff and having a great time because it’s more refined

I didn’t read your entire post (sorry it was long 😅) but have you heard of lorawan? It’s a low powered long distance mesh network technology. I believe that’s what the helium project uses.
