Comment on I hate Android!
GoatSynagogue@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoYou’ve got cell reception in your pc/server?
No, it can be in use, not cached. Keep actual apps open and running in the background if you want them to. Do more in the background.
Stuff could be more efficient, but you’re talking like you know how much ram operating systems of all different types need/should be using better than the people making them. You don’t.

in my laptop, not my pc, but yes. And it doesn’t make a difference. It needs a couple of megabytes of ram. Not gigabytes. A cellular modem does its thing in its own firmware, the driver side is tiny in comparison.
When you work in embedded stuff with kilobytes of ram, you learn to appreciate just how much a little memory could go. Yes, I do know, this shit is my bread and butter

You have no idea what Android or iOS or Windows or any other operating system is doing in the background though, you just think it’s “bloat” and “inefficient”. I guarantee you that the people making these OS’s know more about it than you, and are making it as efficient as it can be.

well actually, yes we do know, by actually checking. You cannot guarantee anything.

How are you checking what closed source systems are doing?
