I teach a programming course and way too often I see students badly in need of more memory. Like, saving a text file taking minutes (I'm not making this up), and the student considering that normal. To these students, I recommend simple text editors such as notepad++. But nowadays with Zoom and Teams consuming all available resources even on more powerful laptops, I feel all hope is lost. Although often it helps to use the web versions of, say, Goto Meeting or Outlook, instead of the app version. Tragic as that is.
