%100 ram growth in 5 years still very slow and cheap.
- flemhans 1y agoI think 8GB was also what we had in ... 2012? Or am I wrong. Memory has been going so slow.
- wltr 1y agoFirst Retina MacBook Pros 13" were with 8 GB base memory. That was either 2013 or even 2012, so, yeah.
- tracker1 1y agoYou could (unsupported) run 16gb ram on 2010 rMBP models, back before it was soldered on. Worked great, not to mention swapping the spinning drive for an SSD. At this point, I get the soldered on ram, for better or worse... I do wish at least storage was more approachable.
- polshaw 1y agoIndeed. RAM is the tool of planned obselecence (and profiteering for that matter).
- astrange 1y agoGet an ad blocker and then get all the people writing Java/Electron apps to fix their memory usage and you'll be good. Exceptions apply to those running local LLMs.
