That's why I got 32GB ram when I upgrade my PC. I don't give a fuck to how many ram they use now.

This is the same coping mechanism as "just build another 4 lane highway. That should solve the traffic issues". You are just shifting the problem.

I got 32 on my desktop so I'm fine there, but my laptop explodes if I try to run the same amount of stuff with 8GB ram

Have you considered downloading more ram?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but RAM is a bit costly, so saving up for it.

My friend... have you heard of our lord and savior downloadmoreram.com? You can DOWNLOAD more ram FOR FREE!

Hmm, what a great idea that totally doesn't look like a scam!

Easy solution, get a laptop with 32 GB RAM/s

Seriously though, the problem is either on both or on neither. It's an additional expense on the customer though, like everything else nowadays. I personally ended up getting a super powered laptop/tablet and relying on it for all my computing needs because laptops are good enough for most use cases nowadays and desktops are limited to specific use cases.

Thinking about it though, the reason it's only limited tasks needing more power might be because everything else is electron.
