  What do you think they’re doing that requires gigabytes of ram?

  Thinking having a cellular connection is significantly any more memory intensive than a wifi or ethernet connection tells me that it’s you who doesn’t have the faintest idea of anything. You’re projecting

    They’re using it for who knows how many dozens of things - simply a look at task manager on windows. They’re preloading heavens knows what to make the users experience better.

    You’re talking about closed source operating systems and how they shouldn’t be using the ram that is available to them, and you think that I don’t have the faintest idea? 🤣

    RAM is there to be used. You’re never using too much ram until you need to use more ram than you have. I’d have no issue with my windows using 60GB of RAM while “idling” if it makes the experience better, which it could.

      you’re talking about caching, which is not counted and does not count as in use. Closed source != magic. They don’t do anything open source stuff can’t (I still can’t believe you thought a cellular connection was magic)

        No, I’m not talking about caching lol.

        Where did I say a cellular connection was magic? 🤡

        I still can’t believe you thought Android was hard coded to reserve 3GB of ram for emojis. Wow, making stupid shit up is easy and fun, I see why you do it!
