A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

And thanks to the 8GB soldered RAM you've got, you will enjoy this ludicrous speed for about 5 minutes of mild usage, thanks to liquid glass, electron apps and modern web. Brilliant.
8GB is not enough RAM. however, Apple memory management feels kinda magic? my base m2 air is fast enough even when swapping. i like to have a lot of apps open at once and i don't close them until I've finished a project so it's not enough memory for me. for the average person id argue it's fine... and i bet apple is going to do a base spec upgrade anyways in a year or two and make a ton of money because of it :p
Swapping is a nice way to burn that soldered on SSD fast!
