base

i dont doubt that. atleast that its your daily life. but a lot of stuff in my daily life simply is an edge case. nothing wrong about it. beeing on lemmy is all in all an edge case. i wish it wouldnt be. but in fact i have met so far only a single guy who even knew what reddit is in rl. let alone lemmy. with that in mind i want to go back to the phone with 32gb of ram but with a midspec 5 year old soc. yes, i can imagine someone which can make use of that configuration. it still is a weird ass config. case in point; every other hardware config of a popular current phones. so i dont really know whats your point with your screenshot and i dont know how i dismiss your experience. like wtf

i fucking mentioned edge cases in my first post

so, running 50+ instances of different programs at the same time is your argument why a phone needs 32gigs of ram. thanks for the discussion dear internet person. especially after i stated several hours ago there might be edge cases.

lmao. so you cant give me reason and just post some memes instead. fair enough. idgf. its a cool device. having 32gb of RAM is fucking rad on a phone. but its stupid. its an inbalenced configuration with that weak ass soc. that was my whole point. but you couldnt even prove your point on an academic level.

it is. i firmly state: fuck apple. now give me a single reason why an underpowered linux device needs 32gb.

The best part is they havent made a compelling game in 10 years. So i wont buy a game of them ever again either way. Its an easy life tbh.

fair enough, maybe i'm stupid(which i am) but give me a usecase for 32gb of ram. completly disregarding the fact that this thing is a phone. Using it as an desktop device via an usb-c hub. when do you need 32gb of ram involving software which isnt bottlenecked by a 5 year old mobile chip? My 12 core AMD 3900X and my 5800X3d ramp up their cooling fans before my RAM gets maxed out with eg Firefox. C'mon i already admitted that there are edge cases. But this configuration is weird man. Especially considering that linux in itself isnt a ram hog in general.

As someone who watched funnee lets plays of it and also played the game itself 15 years ago: You'll get the full experience by watching a 10 minute video. Yeah, its funny that this turd made it onto actual store shelves. But there isnt much more to it. Its an utterly broken barely working 'game'. Had i fun driving really fast backwards and clipping through bridges? Yes, but for like 5 minutes and it wasnt more fun than watching someone else.

Selling this garbage despite its infamous meme status is an utter insult.

fair, but we're still talking about 32 frigging GB of ram in a phone. not that it should count as a best practice baseline but apple sells 16gb laptops as the entry point and tbf at the moment its just enough and their performance is sitting in a completly different league

Neben Linux kann man sich auch mit der Windows 10 LTSC IOT Edition beschäftigen, die bis 2032 Support hat. Kann man als Normalsterblicher nicht erwerben. Aber mit 'Massen.grab' lässt sich das umgehen. Persönlich(!) hätte ich - so rein als Gedankenspiel natürlich - moralisch kein Problem damit. Vielleicht gibts da ein Subreddit (ich weiß den virtuellen Gang dahin wollen wir hier eigentlich vermeiden, aber schnell die Infos abgraben ist IMHO noch drin) dazu der einem dabei hilft.

Offizieller Support von Softwarelösungen welcher Art auch immer und diverse moderne Features werden über die Zeit unter Umständern trotzdem zur Hürde. Aber bis dahin ist das in meinen Augen eine - rein theorethisch natürlich - ganz gute Lösung falls man noch nicht bereit sein sollte für den Wechsel zu Linux. Obs für einen selbst ist oder weil man low-level-tech-support für seine Liebsten leistet.

Ich kann an der Stelle nur sagen, dass die reine Desktop-Erfahrung als Nerd trotz 25 Jahren Windowsnutzung unter Linux inzwischen unfassbar gut ist. Gefällt mir richtig gut. Ich hab leider in der Vergangenheit u.A. ein paar Hardwarekäufe getätigt weswegen ich nicht ganz auf Windows verzichten kann. Was ich damit sagen will. Bevor ihr die Hardware wegschmeißt probiert wenigstens mal Linux Mint aus. Wenn das nicht taugen sollte kann man sich - rein akademisch natürlich - mit Windows 10 LTSC IOT beschäftigen.

Interesting, didnt know about the current state of eMMC. That would be certainly useable if its the new stuff.

Regarding the ram: Yeah, a lot of ram isnt bad. But it also costs money and i dont feel like that amount of ram in combination with the rest of the hardware is too beneficial. Maybe i lack the creativity but i dont see applications where you need that much of ram and wont be bottlenecked by that 5 year old mid tier mobile SOC. Like my desktop gaming rig has 32gb of ram and current flagship phones still use sometimes just 12gb and go up to 24gb in very rare cases. 32gb just feel imbalenced with the rest of the hardware.
