The annoying thing is I have had people claim that 8GB and 16GB is fine on Apple and works better than on PC laptops. To the point one redditor point blank refused to believe I owned an Apple laptop. I literally had to take a photograph of said laptop and show it to them before they would believe me about the RAM capacity.
You should have said "sure buddy" and ignored them.
The problem is they will then keep spreading misinformation.
And that's your problem? Do you hold $AAPL
Apple helped spread that misinformation. So why would I hold some of their stock if I am trying to counter it?
No, I want companies to stop spreading this bullshit and for people to stop falling for it. I don't hold any stocks at all. In fact that kind of bullshit I am fairly against.
...or $SPY, or $QQQ, or...
What even are those?
They're just popular ETFs which contain a lot of $AAPL. I was just commenting that even if someone doesn't explicitly hold any $AAPL, if they own ETFs/mutual funds, they are likely exposed to $AAPL.
Doesn't apply to you though since you said you don't own any stock :)
Obviously it depends on the situation but sometimes it is worth talking to idiots not because you have any chance of changing their mind but just demonstrate to everyone else in the thread that they are in fact an idiot. Just in case somebody thinks they have a point.
Sure buddy.
I own a 8GB MacBook Pro for work, it's definitely better than a PC with 8GB of RAM, but not better or even close to a PC with 16GB. Just the amount of stutters/freezes while the swap file goes is insane
Maybe this is true if you use Windows. If you use Linux on your PC versus macOS on a MacBook you will probably find the PC performs comparably if not better.
Oh totally, Linux is in the same ballpark as, if not better than, Macs when it comes to RAM usage. Windows is just a hog
Until you open a web browser or an Electron app. Them folks don't really seem to give a shit about RAM usage.
A Windows application and a Mac application will use pretty much the same amount of memory regardless of operating system.
The real issue is how much memory the OS uses up. Windows is a massive waste of RAM but not enough to make any difference, certainly not with 8 GB versus 16 GB. You're still better off on PC then.
We are talking about PC vs Mac. Both have the same problem when it comes to chromium based things.
That's probably all the telemetrics in Windows taking their toll.
While that might have some impact, it's not really the main problem with Windows. For the most part it's how it's actually engineered. For a start look at their compiler.
