it will be hilarious when they try to power them up

didn’t see the guy! fucker threw cash right into my eyes!

no it’s not!!!

you’re talking about caching, which is not counted and does not count as in use. Closed source != magic. They don’t do anything open source stuff can’t (I still can’t believe you thought a cellular connection was magic)

more than two seasons nowadays is a minor miracle

What do you think they’re doing that requires gigabytes of ram?

Thinking having a cellular connection is significantly any more memory intensive than a wifi or ethernet connection tells me that it’s you who doesn’t have the faintest idea of anything. You’re projecting

always will be. I just don’t afford a couple hundred grand for the “bigger living room” optional accessory

well actually, yes we do know, by actually checking. You cannot guarantee anything.

in my laptop, not my pc, but yes. And it doesn’t make a difference. It needs a couple of megabytes of ram. Not gigabytes. A cellular modem does its thing in its own firmware, the driver side is tiny in comparison.

When you work in embedded stuff with kilobytes of ram, you learn to appreciate just how much a little memory could go. Yes, I do know, this shit is my bread and butter

my pc also has a full networking stack, just like the phone. And it has a bunch of services running. And i didn’t count cached memory for either, just what is in use at the moment.

If you had 64gigs of ram you’d want 60+ to be used as cache, not to be “in use”. And i force closed all apps except the one I’m using to write this comment.

Why is it so hard for you to believe stuff is bloated and can actually be significantly more efficient?

My phone doesn’t have all the services my pc has either…

my pc at home, which doubles as a server, which runs plex, qbittorrent and other stuff, idles at about 1.5 to 2 gigs. While signed in to kde

The phone i am typing this on is currently sitting at just under 5gigs in use, jerboa is the only open app.

the fact that systems exist which don’t, but still do the same things

oh ok. then that’s the same here

here we didn’t get to bring our own meals. We weren’t even allowed to go home or keep our phones at all, nor get visitors

are you serious? or maybe you just accidentally ran headfirst into a corner of one of your walls?

in the us… the hyundai is sold elsewhere too. in places where cybertruck isn’t even road legal

read the op’s complaint. And all those extra services shouldn’t need gb of ram anyway.

syncthing fork ran just fine always enabled. Basicsync seems to suck down my battery like crazy

yes i know that obviously. But what do modern oses do more than they did with the memory limitations back then? They serve you more ads and they convince that taking up literally half of your memory and not even leaving enough resources for two apps is somehow necessary, when older computers hosted the os and the apps comfortably in a tiny fraction of that.

name before type makes it easier for compiler writers. Not the language users imo.
