Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse - eviltoast

    jfc this is inane.

    there’s this thing called multitasking, you might have heard of it. when you want to open more than one app and use them all at the same time, GUESS WHAT BRIGHT LIGHTS? Takes more memory.

    This is the dumbest shit take I’ve ever seen.

      I‘m talking about smartphones. Funny that you‘d call me bright lights when you even lack the basic skill of reading.

      Never had any problems with „multitasking“ there since the iPhone 5.

        LOL, you think people don’t multitask on smart phones and tablets?

        oof… and yes, on android you can have both open on the same screen at the same time. I don’t know about fischer price unix, er, aye-aye-aye-os…

        nah, didn’t misread, you’re def the sharpest tool in the spoon drawer.

          Sure. I have just never encountered any problems. I used to, to be honest, as mentioned back with the iPhone 4 where Safari tabs were reloading because of the lack of RAM. But Android had its own problems back then, for example with the update policy of most manufacturers leaving my wife‘s Android phone obsolete after only one year.

          What exactly do you do? Hook up your smartphone as a desktop replacement with a bulky USB dongle, firing up some CAD software on two 6K displays while rendering an 8K HDR video in the background? People never disappoint creating completely made-up scenarios just to discredit.

          Never talked about tablets, so it’s reading – again!

            I mention tablets because it’s the same os - iOS or Android - on both. tsk. guess you forgot that point.

            or it never occurred to you. bright lights indeed.

              You still haven‘t come up with a multitasking smartphone use case that an iPhone can‘t handle compared to an Android smartphone due to lack of RAM.

                Okay bright lights, sure thing, you stick with your tiny amount of ram and see how that works out in the future. Meanwhile the rest of the world will move on.

                It’s funny, though, that ram is a commodity and you’re fine with apple’s ridiculous upsales, to the point where you’ll claim there’s no need. Frankly I’m surprised you’re not rocking an OG iphone with that attitude. You do you, keep simping for apple, stay in the 2010s. Aloha, from the future!

                Gonna block you now so I don’t have to reply to another stupid comment.

                  The whole world will move on, sure. But I think you‘ll stay wound up a little longer as this brain sprain of yours seems to have worn you out quite a bit. I hope, AI may solve this problem for you in the future. I heard loads of RAM help with that.
