The extra space is for two Electron apps of your choice.

[–] lemmyvore@feddit.nl 2 points 4 months ago

Let's start with one and see how it goes.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

discord and microsoft teams 😍

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You picked two of the crappiest apps ever.

[–] itsralC@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

That's the point

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Teams in browser is okay

[–] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You've clearly never lived with a cat. Your metaphor is crushed by the Kitty Expansion Theory: No piece of furniture is large enough for a cat and any other additional being.

[–] bruhduh@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Caching be like

[–] db2@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Just install Chrome or Firefox. Problem solved.

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)
[–] dditty@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Yup I max out 32GB building librewolf from source

[–] EddyBot@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)
[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

I compile them in swap and swap is of course Google Drive

[–] eldavi@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

and a vm or 2

[–] naught101@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

The other 28GB is for running chrome

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

My 2010 arm board with 256MB ram running openmediavault and minidlna for music streaming. Still lots of RAM left.

[–] poopsmith@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I was running out of RAM on my 16GB system for years (just doing normal work tasks), so I finally upgraded to a new laptop with 64GB of RAM. Now I never run out of memory.

[–] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 0 points 4 months ago

lol, you wish.

Much like a cat can stretch out and somehow occupy an entire queen-sized bed, Linux will happily cache your file system as long as there is available memory.

[–] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Note for the "unused RAM is wasted RAM" people, in the description of earlyoom:

Why is "available" memory checked as opposed to "free" memory? On a healthy Linux system, "free" memory is supposed to be close to zero, because Linux uses all available physical memory to cache disk access. These caches can be dropped any time the memory is needed for something else.

So yeah, there's a difference.

[–] teft@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

Just like the human eye can only register 60fps and no more, your computer can only register 4gb of RAM and no more. Anything more than that is just marketing.

Fucking /S since you clowns can't tell.

[–] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 0 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Jokes on you, because i looked into this once. I don't know the exact ms the light-sensitive rods in human eyes need to refresh the chemical anymore but it resulted in about 70 fps, so about 13 ms i guess (the color-sensitive cones are far slower). But psycho-optical effects can drive that number up to 100 fps in LCD displays. Though it looks like you can train yourself with certain computer tasks to follow movements with your eye, being far more sensible to flickering.

[–] iopq@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's not about training, eye tracking is just that much more sensitive to pixels jumping

You can immediately see choppy movement when you look around in a 1st person view game. Or if it's an RTS you can see the trail behind your mouse anyway

I can see this choppiness at 280 FPS. The only way to get rid of it is to turn on strobing, but that comes with double images at certain parts of the screen

Just give me a 480 FPS OLED with black frame insertion already, FFS

[–] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 0 points 4 months ago

Well, i do not follow movements (jump to the target) with my eyes and see no difference between 30 and 60 FPS, run comfortably Ark Survival on my iGPU at 20 FPS. And i'm still pretty good in shooters.

Yeah, it's bad that our current tech stack doesn't allow to just change image where change happens.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Does that refresh take place across the entire eye simultaneously or is each rod and/or cone doing its own thing?

[–] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

There's a neuron layer trimming data down to squeeze it through the optical nerve, so... no clue.

[–] Kelo@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Human eye can't see more than 1080p anyway, so what's the point

[–] starman@programming.dev 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It doesn't matter honestly, everyone knows humans can't see screens at all

[–] SomeBoyo@feddit.de 0 points 4 months ago

It honestly doesn't matter, reality only exists in your imagination anyway.

The cat is the Rimworld mod with a hefty memory leak yesterday. 32 GB was full in seconds. But it gave me enough time to find the culprit and kill Rimworld without trashing my session every time.

[–] PoolloverNathan@programming.dev 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Tip: Alt+SysRq+F to force an OOM kill. It'll usually target the leaking process.

[–] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Thanks! But where is the SysRq key?

[–] PoolloverNathan@programming.dev 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)
[–] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 0 points 4 months ago

Oh. Thanks!

[–] R3tl3f@feddit.de 0 points 4 months ago

More is more.

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

4GB of RAM: load a model into llama.cpp

Explodes

[–] bruhduh@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Apple be like: our 4gb is like 16gb from others

[–] maeries@feddit.de 0 points 4 months ago

That's right. Prize wise
