Is 8GB a lot? Depends on the context.

Can someone explain to me why it always seems like everyone on lemmy are in one of these two categories:
1: "I remember my first computer used ferro-magnetic beads that we glued to lengths of string. We could store nearly 10 bytes in one string".
2: "My first computer was an old iPad that only had 64GB storage, couldn't even store my photo album."
It's like everyone is aged either 89 or 19, nobody in between.
I typed my response before I saw this but yeah, it's my first response every time.
My first computer was two sticks we had to bang together but now modern technology has ruined what was a good thing.
Lol. Mine was a tape drive, then 360kb diskette. But even today I have a OpenMediaVault server with 256MB of memory and its fine for audio and 720p streaming. The key is software optimization...which Windows seems bad at.
Because there are no humans and AI can only think so much.
