Who can afford that much RAM?

I'm going back to the days when 640k was all we could ever use.

I just got a decent HP laptop for my mother (browsing/emails/light videos) for <$1k, it has 32GB. Good deals are out there.

Spyware and bloat ain't cheap these days.

Linux users don't rejoice too much, the Fedoras and Ubuntus were eating so much of my RAM I had to take refuge in Alpine.

CachyOS was using 3.25gb of ram while streaming video at 4k on my system.

My Windows work PC is currently using 28.2 gigs to have outlook, teams and 6 browser tabs open.

I run Windows 10 on a laptop with 16GB RAM and on fresh boot it uses ~2.5GB, which leaves a lot of memory for other stuff, but I guess when even the new Notepad uses 20x more RAM that the old one it makes sense to require 32GB RAM.. One can hope that due to the high price of RAM more effort will be put into reducing memory usage in general, because right now it's ridiculous

I have win 10 iot running on devices with 4gb of ram (they mostly have to run one dedicated app) and it works fine!
