I’m a frequent user of that feature - especially for cases when the first thing I see from a channel is a clickbait thumbnail with a “shocked” face on it. I understand that it’s a working tactic for some channels, but unless I know the channel and can assume the video would be good despite the clickbait, I’m not going for it. It’s a trend that needs to die.

… and the irony that Windows can also fuck up your bootloader in a dual boot scenario.
1·6 days agoI remember that with Opera (before the switch to Chromium) I was able to open literally 100+ tabs on a machine with 1 gig of RAM. Sure, the web was simpler back then, but not by much.
Regardless of the OS, if you’re using the computer for anything productive, the application software, not the OS, will eat the majority of the RAM anyway. If you’re looking at the minimum requirements, chances are you’re not looking to do anything besides browsing the web with 5 tabs open.
It sucks though, I agree - software should get more efficient over time, just like hardware does. Out of curiosity, do we have anything more specific, i.e. how they tested that, what apps were running and so on? Or maybe they now deem that more things should be running?
In a better world this would be caught by analytics and videos like that would be penalised - like it should happen for web search results. In reality we’re far from that unfortunately…
