I feel like a new law needs to be named after this, maybe it already exists and I am just unaware of it, but 'basic computing functions and operating system requires expand to match the standard level of computing performance available"
It's crazy how things that were considered basic many years ago so run well within the performance we have in modern systems, yet the basic system has requirements much higher than it used too.
Teams is a massive example of this, is just text chat and video conferencing, stuff that was easily done 10 years or more ago, yet there are plenty of systems available today that run it like crap, let, alone imagining to run this on a ten year old system.
- npteljes 4y agoThere's Andy and Bill's law: "what Andy giveth, Bill taketh away". Reflecting on the fact that software will eat whatever resources are available. In a way, I think this reflects how life works in general. The way I see it, life expands until there's significant hindrance, or resources are exhausted. I don't mean it in a cynical way, like how Agent Smith does in the Matrix, regarding humanity, I just think that this is the nature of life in general. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_and_Bill%27s_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_and_Bill%27s_law
