Why is that in my personal laptop chrome works like shit and in my work laptop it works wonders?! The only difference between them is that in y professional laptop we have thousands of different security apps. It's almost like chrome is shit because it invades u your computer like a virus lol
I have 32GB and for most of what I do, which is normal desktop stuff and gaming, and occasionally messing with VMs, it's fine if not overkill.
compile my own custom android
I “cheaped out” with 32 and regretted it, working with huge files in RAM.
getting into 3d art is a regret lowkey, I was fine with my specs before they felt op even
I was into vr too, I was like damn this laptops a beast now im constantly struggling
128 here and I capped it the other day doing an in-memory parsing, lol
16 here, because 🍎
How much is that in banana, for scale?
Let's see, it would take 3 Orangutans to make a Macbook. That's 36 bananas
took me a few days but I fully switched to firefox. my computer finally runs the way it should.
Ecosia is another option but it is also Chromium based
Yeah we should stop using Chromium based browsers, because they favour Google indirectly.

Linux and FreeBSD systems? Happy and snappy.
Work Windows system filled with crap corp security software? Open electron apps and wait for them to load.
Personal Windows system? Master of Orion, the remake.
I do wonder how many people only hate windows because their IT installed crapware that takes half the CPU scanning every file move.
I watched a fascinating rust video where this guy was talking about all of the things different OSs do differently just in the rust up install process. And how one of them (I assume windows but don't recall) was way worse but it was fixed by changing how they did IO. I don't work at that lower level so it's not a thing for me, but it was interesting. (I tried to find but failed)
The file system Windows uses (NTFS) has a lot of neat features, but ends up being astronomically slow in unexpected ways for some file operations as a result.
I remember playing around with NTFS streams. They’re usually used to store random metadata about a file. The size of which doesn’t appear in the normal file size calculation/display in Windows. So you can have this 2kb text file that has an alternate stream with a zip file of the entire discography of a band stuffed into it. Longest file transfer of 2kb ever. Another gotcha, the second you copy that file to a file system that doesn’t support the alternate streams they just vanish. So all the sudden that long file transfer is super quick.

I bought two double rank 16gb sticks so I had the option of 64gb later, but with zero page file I have not had a single issue. I also horde tabs when online shopping, but I use extensions to prevent them from loading until selected. Still, never even been over 25gb in daily use and gaming. I also have a 3090 though so that 24gb vram soaks up a lot.
Play some horribly unoptimized games, like the Oblivion Remaster that recommends having 32gb. Which is fucking insane.
Yeah, they defo need to work on optimization. It's an unreasonably heavy game both on cpu and gpu, runs worse than cyberpunk rt overdrive while looking worse...
Oblivion needs about stable 10GB with max settings on my System.
I wonder if they recommend 32 because 16gb is the minimum for maxed settings vanilla but they know everyone will have 2000 mods installed eventually and they are accounting for that. 🤔

Ditch Google trash. Go for alternatives. E.g., Firefox instead of Chrome.
Firefox isn't going to solve the issue of overly bloated websites.
It still has ManifestV2 and useful ad-blocking
can help
That seems like a fake website. Here is the real link: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock
This website is maintained by Uros Gazvoda, founder of Futuristica, to help spread uBlock Origin - free, open-source ad blocker.
Not fake, just unaffiliated. The presented links and info seem correct to me.
ubo is also warning about a different fake page on their repo but not this one.
May as well chop the "s" off "alternatives"

I'd be in trouble, since between ZFS and my various VMs, my system idles at ~170 GB RAM used. With only 32 I'd have to shut basically everything down.
My previous system had 64 GB, and while it wasn't great, I got by. Then one of the motherboard slots died and dropped me to 48 GB, which seriously hurt. That's when I decided to rebuild and went to 256.
Oh yay, lemmy is finally popular enough to have a nobody asked e-peen guy!
