Wait until smartphone prices skyrocket. Shit's gonna be fun.
I've read a couple of days ago that they're already reducing the RAM of future smartphones, like 4GB for entry level phones.
there's a slim chance that could be a good thing. it would require Android to actually optimize their operating system. if Microsoft and Apple have to do the same, maybe just maybe we will see quality operating systems again.
a man can dream.
Bloat OS, bloat apps, bloat background spyware. Something has to give.
I already had a taste of this on my 32 GB home computer.
Me: "Hey this IDE is using 10 GB of ram and it's mostly a text editor and parser. This is ridiculous."
Engineer: "Memory is there to be used. You still have over 20 GB to dispose of."
Me: "My browser is using over 1 GB."
Engineer: "Memory is there to be used. You still have over 19 GB to dispose of."
Me running another memory expensive program: "This tool tells me I'm almost out of free memory."
Engineer: "Your computer is a few years old; just buy more ram."
I think the meme of Spidermans all pointing at each other is going to be real in the form of software vendors all telling us that we'd better pony up for more memory or stop using other software. Unfortunately corporations would sooner use a popular piece of garbage than an efficient program that does the job far better.
