There’s no place for expensive laptops with 8GB of RAM anymore
&quot;What Andy giveth, Bill taketh away&quot;<p>Instead of asking software vendors to make better apps,  we ask hardware vendors to put more RAM.<p>Instead of asking an industry that can distribute the change in months, we ask the industry that will take years to change the entirety of the installed base.<p>Instead of asking for higher efficiency and better use of resources we already have, we accept bloat as a natural fact of life and accommodate to that.<p>Instead of maximizing the use of all the resources we have already mined and the energy we have already used, the devices that are functional but slow when used with bloated software, we encourage active obscolecence and further pollution of our environment, exploitation of resources in dubious onditions, more-than-grey working conditions, all in the name of &quot;it is possible to do more, so we should do more&quot;.<p>Is this really the direction we want ?
