We don't need more RAM, we need better software
RAM prices are, frankly, insultingly high. Like so ridiculously high it's absurd. It's got me thinking: We need better software. Electron, Windows, Chrome, Discord - these are RAM hogs to the highest order. Single webpages require what an entire operating system required in terms of resources less than 15 years ago. Chrome is famously bad at memory management and eats it for lunch. Windows idles at 6gb RAM usage. Even Apple is hitting the upper limit on what currently runs smoothly at 8gb for some of their applications.
In short: we have a software problem more than a RAM problem. Maybe software companies should, like, care more about this? Dependency upon dependency eats away at minimum RAM requirements for software these days, and the entire chain is responsible for using this resource so inefficiently.
Well, here we are: RAM is no longer affordable. If you want to get lots and lots of people to use your software - reduce its RAM requirements now. RAM just became a very finite resource.
