user with 537 tabs and documents open on three 4k monitors: why do computers these days use so much ram? this never happened when I had one single Internet Explorer window open on a 800x600 monitor
I also think that people forget just how much computers crashed before we started making them more "memory inefficient". It used to be completely normal that your personal computer would just explode two or three times a day and you'd lose all your work. I still have the "control-s every five seconds" reflex to this day.
