Long ago man landed on the moon using 4 kb of ram. Today it takes 1 gb of RAM to open a chrome tab.
- minikites 6y agoGoing to the moon was a government project. We need the extra 1023 MB of RAM to store all the advertisements and user tracking scripts required for a company to do anything under capitalism.
- chii 6y agoand that 1gb of ram costs less than $5. That 4kb of ram costs, i bet, way more than the inflation adjusted $5 back then. And chrome's UI is much more fancy, displays way more data, and has way more functionality, than the UI that was powered by the 4kb of ram. It's a cute comparison, but ultimately, it's meaningless.
