      I low key predicted this a few months ago when GPUs were all the craze, and balled out on 128 gigs of ram for my primary PC. No regrets now.

          Good news there then. Apples explotive RAM price gouging is now inline with other ram prices.

            They’ve always way overcharged on RAM upgrades, except for when the M4 came out and they bumped all base RAM to 16GB for free, making the M4 Macs a slightly better than average value when comparing to prior Macs.

            I don’t think the RAM upgrade cost has recently gone up either, but I could be wrong.

              Yeah I miss the little door on the PowerBooks and early MacBook pros and iMacs that let you put standardized memory in. All mine had maxed out Crucial or Corsair ram modules a month or 2 after getting the Mac.

              Then they started tying graphics cards to package upgrades and you ended up getting more ram no matter what.

              Then the Stewart enshitification culminated in single board PCs with zero owner upgrade paths.

              It hasent gone up. Their long term gouge now just matches the rest of the industry for the first time ever.

        I bought 96GB for 400 a few months and thought myself a genius. I know now that I was a fool for underestimating the greed of man.

    I can’t stand looking at too many tabs, I get claustrophobic, I usually close the browser which purges all history, cookies, etc and open it again to start fresh

      same, it gets overwhelming and I have to close them. Naturally this makes me forget whatever that was in the backlog of tabs forever but it’s a price to pay…

        Yeah if I feel any interest for later I’ll bookmark it and put it in a folder that I’ll never click on until years later just to check of the link still works

    I literally cannot comprehend this. What are you keeping in these things?

    If any of you are playing games, and I know you are, there’s no way those games aren’t slideshows.

    Sooo literally how?

    If I leave the computer for longer than taking a piss, the browser is closed. Zero tabs.

    I get actually uncomfortable with more than 5 or so open.

    At least at home. Work computers I can understand because you gotta do whatever you’re doing, but even then double digit amounts seems actually crazy.

    If you’re just opening them thinking “I’m gonna read this article” and just leave it, then you gotta get some better meds.

      some projects take longer than an hour and I don’t want to go through the effort of bookmarking stuff when they’re already neatly organized into tab groups

      like, if there’s no downside… why not?

        I learned of tab sleeping in another reply. Having all of that juggling in RAM would be the downside, but apparently that feature takes care of that. I haven’t looked into it yet or learned about it, still just going off someone mentioning it.

        Although for me if it’s important enough to need to keep around, I would bookmark it anyway because I never trust reopening to bring everything back.

          yeah the sleeping is a bit annoying at times when you want the page loaded in the background, but that’s a tradeoff I’m willing to take for having everything just there and organized and mostly ready to view. and with bookmarks I’d have to reload the page anyways, so it’s not like that gets around it

          it has to be categorized and then deleted after. and when I want to access it, I have to pick it out of bookmarks, and do that for every page I want to see.

          or, I could just leave them in a tab group and close the group in a week or two, meanwhile they’re all nicely accessible and ordered

    I have like 1.5k tabs, I find ones I need because it suggests open tabs in the address bar. If I need to go from my first few tabs to something at the end or vice versa, I click on one of my pinned tabs which stays at the beginning and is always visible (doesn’t scroll) and then use the hotkey to go to next / prev tab which wraps and immediately scrolls to the end. It’s a lot faster than using the scroll wheel. That’s my main tab group, I have like 6 or 7 others with around 500 tabs each

      If I bookmark it it doesn’t exist. If it’s in a tab I’m more likely to remember to go back to it. If it’s in a tab for more than a week it’s dead, Jim
