"With all the advances in tech..." Hmmm. When I joined virtualization startup Bromium shortly after it was founded in 2011 (product now sold by HP as HP Sure Click), we were planning to put 100s of VMs on a single laptop, for security purposes, and were counting on and hoping() for the amount of RAM available to us on customer devices exponentially increasing over time, as had been the norm until them. In 2011, a typical low-end laptop came with 4GiB of RAM, and a high-end one with 8GiB. I was a the company for five years, and those specs stayed exactly the same. Now in 2023, almost 12 years later, the minimum spec for a laptop has grown to 8GiBs of RAM, whereas Moore's law (transistors per unit space doubling every 18 months) would have predicted somewhere around 256GiB of RAM (4 (2*(12/2)) = 256GiB). So where is the feast we were promised? *) We actually made that happen, using lots of cool software tricks, but that is a story for another day.
