OMFG, I totally ate the onion for a minute.
It’s bc it said two, isn’t it? If it had been more believable and just said one…
This may be the onion now, but just wait until we end up needing extra sticks of RAM just for Chrome haha
Wait? Normal people are constantly buying an extra stick of ram because their browsers slow down too much.
We may not realize it’s a problem because the tech sphere (and especially the pc gaming sphere) is famous for overbuying. I used to frequent buildapc over on that other site and there are daily posts of people asking if their RTX 3060, 10th gen i5, and 16gb of ram is good enough for basic gaming and getting told no “actually you need at least a 4070, 13th gen i9, and 32gb of ram just to be low end!”
Hell, I used to be a frequent commenter on lowendgaming and would constantly have to butt heads with gamers who believed that a 4060 ti was low end.
It’s an unhealthy mindset that a lot of pc powerusers have that makes it impossible for them to engage reasonably with articles like this because they simply cannot wrap their heads what is actually normal in the world of pc users. /endrant
I dunno. If someone’s building a PC, they are most probably using it for more than just chrome-level stuff. And for me at least, if I’m going to spend the time and money on new components, I’m going to get the biggest and best that I can afford/justify. The higher end comments are going to fair much better as tech develops further along, and I consider them an investment into not going through the same process again in just a few years time.
Nobody did it so its a duty. Use Firefox people
Holy fuck the ads on that site make it nearly impossible to read
Edit: on Firefox on Android*… It’s atrocious
You’re using Firefox without unlock origin?
You need a new video card.
I need a new graphics card to read about the new graphics card I need 👍
Are you not using an ad blocker?
It’s a funny article I’d like to share to my friends but there’s no way I’m going to send someone into that mess
What mess? All I see is s clean ad free page.
Ok I’m sure it’s fine on desktop but I’m using Firefox on Mobile and it looks like this
There’s like three ads at a time and the ad at the bottom literally puts blue bars around the edges of the article. I’m just blown away by how shitty and intrusive it is.
You can use add-ons in Firefox for Android. Not sure what version you’re running (I’m on 125.2.0) and I can use many extensions:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/ublock-origin/ should directly let you add or remove the extension.
Thank you, didn’t know this and it works great
Try AdGuard. It’s an ad blocker for Android (using a local VPN sinkhole). Article is ad-free for me.
Wow thats 600 dollars per extra tab not worth it
