- bombela 3y agoThat's absurd. I remember using winamp (and the skin compatible Linux clone, I forgot it's name) streaming internet radios while programing a toy OS in 2004. I could listen to music while compiling and running the BOSHS emulator on my AMD Atlon CPU with a whooping 256MiB of RAM.
- Nextgrid 3y agoI used a 12" Macbook as my main development machine. It ran IntelliJ with Python/Django applications, Postgres & Redis running in parallel (along with Safari, Mail, etc) around 2018-2020 just fine. Tried it somewhat recently around Ventura and the machine clearly appeared to be struggling with the OS alone. So we had a machine that used to be capable of actual, productive work, and is now seemingly struggling at idle? It doesn't look like the new OS brought anything new or useful to the table (besides copious amounts of whitespace) either.
