    This person fundamentally misunderstands RAM on Windows…

    Apps reserve a portion of the total available memory. That memory is not necessarily in use. Memory not in use will still be available to other applications as soon as the system reallocates it when a given application needs more. Usually of you have more RAM, applications will reserve more of it. You can check a better explanation of your current memory usage in the windows resource monitor. You’ll see memory allocated, memory in use, and memory being used to cache data (which windows does to reduce disk reads and writes), as well as memory completely unallocated. Chrome can easily allocate 1/3 of your total available memory by the third tab, but that doesn’t mean chrome is actually using that much.

    I don’t know who is doing the testing, but they don’t know what they’re doing. 313MB

        Fable is so expensive. I made a Blinko notes desktop app on Opencode last night using Minimax M3 and it would have cost me 3000usd if I was using Fable.

        The screenshot is from my $300 HP Elite Desk 4. It doesn’t support Win11, but I installed it anyway.

        Oh, you meant Claude. I use the free version to help me write automations and dashboards for Home Assistant. I have never given Anthropic a dime.

    I’m shocked to learn that a dedicated browser always running in the background for a chat app uses 100x the memory and resources

    I’m not using it nor the Facebook Messenger app, but rather their messenger in the browser. Meta is an evil necessity in my country because the businesses I deal with are mostly active on Facebook, and almost all people are tethered to it, and I have to use a facade where I don’t have to give Zuck anything about myself.

    Pah, only 1.2GB? How can it even move a mouse pointer or accept keyboard input?!?

    Windows 11?

    I heard it’s terrible

    Many flavours of Linux

    Are comparable

    If you want Windows to spy & train on you

    Simply open your doors

    Let the verified perverts in too
