A: "How much memory do you have?"
B: "1TB"
A: "No, I mean RAM, not storage"
B: "Oh sorry, 2TB"

[yamanaltay]

"A single stick of this RAM has more capacity than your entire system"

Oh yeah I've heard about those 16GB sticks

[keirmerikh]

“Mom, how else will i open 700 tabs of google classroom. Its for school”

[ashadedblobfish]

"A single stick of this has more capacity than your entire system"
Damn that one hurt a little

[jamie]

This system has more ram than I have storage and ram together in my system.

I would love to see you make a ramdisk with this and see how games perform/load

[tonysmart]

me: looks at laptop


laptop: don't even think about it.

I love how Linus is so frustrated by how slow it is, but I have to deal with that regularly when my $1000+ PC decides its a $10 PC for 20 minutes...

[Obi-Wan_Kenobi]

Crazy to think that in a few short years, Samsung is producing individual terabyte ram sticks. Crazy how far we’ve come and better yet, still have to go.

Linus: "we reached 6000 tabs"

My mother's phone: *first time?*

[sebseb]

"6000 tabs is well beyond what is actually usable"
Meanwhile my moms phone : *9 million tabs*

[itsbiirdy]

I can imagine his computer was yelling, " PLEASE NO!! NO MORE!!!

[Too-Bits]

Me with 8GB of 6 year old DDR3 ram that starts to lag with 10 tabs open and sometimes lags anyway when it feels like it: 👁👄👁

[wChris_]

chrome: gimme all that RAM
*after eating 200Gb*
chrome: i don't feel so good

[steel]

"How much memory do you have?"
"2tb"
"I meant RAM, not storage"
"..."

this was just 2 years ago but it still has the "some guy in his house" vibe

I know using the Windows API, there are a lot of odd limits on controls and such. Even in 64 bit, Windows is using 32-bit IDs (not that 4 billion shouldn't be enough), but you often get odd limits such as 16k items in lists (hold overs from Win16 APIs) or odd things such as the X, Y coordinates of the ScreenToClient() can't exceed 16k, so a grid control might be fine with say 1, 000 x 1, 000 but it isn't fine with 200 rows x 5, 000 columns. I've also run into if you hide tabs, it does linear searches so even though only 4 tabs are visible, it fires off events to the 1, 000 hidden ones.

Him : 2TB ram is crazy


NASA: oh, that's cute

[deepeshgavali]

Linus : We have reached 6000 tabs.

My Mom : Amatuers

Not daily, maybe weekly I fire up 15-20 Firefox profiles with 50-300 tabs each (~2000 total) when I organize things. 7th gen 4C Intel, 64G RAM. It works, but the system asks for some relief. Never tested for the max, and not all tabs are loaded. The session is autosaved by FF, tabs are grouped, and multirowed in 5-10 rows if someone asks.
If I project this saturation level to the system in the video, it would reach around 30-40000 tabs. I'll try one day.

My PC only has 16GB ram and the OS is using maybe 3-4 usually. yet I've had open over 300+ tabs at one point. Many windows. It does use a lot of ram. but I'm impressed I never had any real issues. My problem is I'll open so many things and not take the time to finish what I started. - I believe there is an extension to save all your tabs. I think it was Session Buddy. Honestly I kinda wish it just said "You cannot open any more tabs" Just to force me to tidy things up more often :D
