Why do people need 32gb of ram? I can have 15 tabs in chrome, a music player, 3 windows of my IDE, and a word processor on my current 8gb laptop just fine.

- runamok 10y agoI think it's better to use cloud servers/containers once you have to run that many VMs concurrently but obviously that starts to cost more money.
- mvdwoord 10y agoIt's not only about the money. Connectivity is still not everywhere, and even if it is, bandwidth/latency issues arise. I really like having local data, local VMs and local everything. Sync when connected, but ready to go at any time.
