People being forced to run windows 11 with 8gb ram is going to be hilarious.

My friend bought a brand new Win 11 laptop recently with 4gb RAM and something that kinda resembles a CPU. In it’s default state it couldn’t browse the internet. It also has EMMC storage so that is slow as well. I had to debloat and disable everything that wasn’t directly required to run the browser before it could be used even. But it was $100 CAD new so I guess you get what you pay for.

You can buy a laptop with 4 GB of ram these days?!

It’s crazy. It shouldn’t be allowed, and Microsoft should not approve of OEMs shipping 4gb laptops with Windows 11. But 4gb is the official minimum requirement for Win 11. What is crazy as well is that he bought it about a year ago, when RAM prices were still cheap.

4gb is the minimum? i thought they had changed it to 8

It will run okay… Unless you have an HDD. Good thing the AI bubble using blowing up SSD prices too.
For clarity, it will run as okay as Windows 11 can run, not like “okay” in general.

There was some degree of sarcasm.
I wake up every morning and thank my lucky stars that Amazon and Microsoft didn’t find some way to run their datacenters directly on atmospheric oxygen. The fuckers are already stealing all of our water, power, and croplands.

Yeah, the croplands came up in a discussion here…
A farm was shutting down because a datacenter operator bought the land, a fully functioning farm. It was more profitable to sell the land than keep it viable for food production…
Now the chances of that land ever being appropriate for farming again…

Holy shit, will AI cause the Linux renaissance?

It’s already doing it. Steam data showed a 100% increase in Linux clients after a “one too many” Windows updates fucked something up last year.
Note: it’s still hovering around the margin of error, but it’s strengthening. I think it went from 1.5% to 3%.
Best_Jeanist@discuss.online 2 weeks ago
It’s 5% now

Why? It’s objective truth - it went from 1.5% to 3%, which is a 100% increase.
rumschlumpel@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
That’s literally what it means, though. Going from 1.5% to 3% is damned impressive (though I’m not quite sure what exactly the other commenter is referring to, it took about 2 years to get there).
