    @fribbledom best part is the ads they show you won't be anything related to socks.

      @fribbledom I was so proud when I could carry TWO Linux kernels on a single 3 inch floppy. 2 gigs on a tab is so obscene

      @ATLeagle

      why do you need two kernels ? One is enough, IMHO

        Spent my childhood optimizing CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT to fit everything into 640 KB.

        Now one browser tab needs 2 GB of RAM so 17 analytics companies can find out I looked at socks.

        @fribbledom only to suggest you buy a weirdly shaped object. they don't even use all that data they collect in a way that would advance anything!

          @fribbledom
          I can sadly confirm that figure. A docker container with a scraper worker that starts internally a browser and does the whole Chaptcha bullshit comes at about 1.5-2.0GB depending on the website, so a fully interactive website with some history on memory at 2.0gb sounds reasonable with Chrome.

          And it doesn't sound too bad my router has 64GB nowadays.

          But then I remember my first computer had 64KB RAM (and wasn't that huge) and a super fast 1Mhz 8 bit CPU.

                                  @fribbledom 640 KB? Luxury!

                                  When I were a lad, I used to have to write x=10 rather than x = 10 so that I could fit everything into 16 KB.

                                    @fribbledom I hated that the guy in the electronics shop thought he had to explain usb stick sizes to me because I was a clueless old lady, not because my first computer had 16K of RAM and a cassette tape. 128 gig of storage the size of a car key blows my mind.
