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

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

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

my pc also has a full networking stack, just like the phone. And it has a bunch of services running. And i didn’t count cached memory for either, just what is in use at the moment.
If you had 64gigs of ram you’d want 60+ to be used as cache, not to be “in use”. And i force closed all apps except the one I’m using to write this comment.
Why is it so hard for you to believe stuff is bloated and can actually be significantly more efficient?
My phone doesn’t have all the services my pc has either…

my pc at home, which doubles as a server, which runs plex, qbittorrent and other stuff, idles at less about 1.5 to 2 gigs.
The phone i am typing this on is currently sitting at just under 5gigs in use, jerboa is the only open app.

the fact that systems exist which don’t, but still do the same things

oh ok. then that’s the same here

here we didn’t get to bring our own meals. We weren’t even allowed to go home or keep our phones at all
- Comment on I hate Android! 1 week ago:
read the op’s complaint. And all those extra services shouldn’t need gb of ram anyway.
- Comment on I hate Android! 1 week ago:
yes i know that obviously. But what do modern oses do more than they did with the memory limitations back then? They serve you more ads and they convince that taking up literally half of your memory and not even leaving enough resources for two apps is somehow necessary, when older computers hosted the os and the apps comfortably in a tiny fraction of that.
- Comment on I hate Android! 1 week ago:
the question is: why do two, not even three, apps consume all of the 4gb?
- Comment on I hate Android! 1 week ago:
ah today’s young ones… can’t imagine a whole computer with less than 128 mb of ram and still being able to multitask better than a phone with 12g of ram

stop fucking ~remastering~ trying to sell us the same games over and over again, and just make new ones already!

hdmi cec can automatically turn on your tv and switch to the right source. It also works the other way round, you can turn off your tv and the ps5 goes to sleep

a game collection on my shelf, one shelf for each generation of playstation. I don’t need any more shelves, apparently. My “collection” is complete
- Comment on Whatever happened to the days when shit just...worked? 7 months ago:
windows 10 never had a fullscreen start menu (enabled by default). 7 never had it in any way.
If the start menu was fullscreen on 10, it’s because you explicitly enabled it. It’s not the default.

that’s windows 8

that would be a very tense situation

a compatibility layer would involve dedicated hardware in the soc itself, like apple did with the m series chips

yes, but thanks for telling me anyway :)

everything is fucking videos now. You get stuch at a very particular place? Prepare to sift through literally hours of video instead of, for example, just searching for the name of the place you’re in ingame

banks have the most obnoxious, yet the stupidest security measures.
- Comment on And what car did you learn in? 8 months ago:
if we do our test on a manual we’re allowed to drive automatics too. But not the other way round. So i learned on a manual. I now drive an electric without any gears to switch, much less a clutch (but still have a classic mini too)

not really. It’s faster while writing it sometimes. But if you factor in the time it takes to try reading it a year later you end up with a net loss

unless you own mickey mouse, of course
- Comment on Does it feel like the PS5's library is *severely* lacking compared to the PS4's around the same time in its lifecycle? 10 months ago:
whether you factor backwards compatibility or not is irrelevant. Those are still ps4 games. There are comparatively quite few ps5 games
