minus-squaredouglasg14b@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-211 months agoIt’s honestly crazy to think about that we used to say the same about 4GB only 5-7 years ago… And the same about 2GB a measly 10 years ago… 5 years ago I used to think 32GB was great. Now I regularly cap out and start page filing doing my normal day-to-day work on 48GB. It’s crazy now.
