Comment on The Great Software Quality Collapse: How We Normalized Catastrophe
MotoAsh@piefed.social 22 hours agoWell, it’s also stupid to use RAM size as an indicator of a machines CPU load capability…
Definitely sending off some tech illiterate vibes.

Most software shouldn’t saturate either RAM or CPU on a modern computer.
Yes, Photoshop, compiling large codevases, and video encoding and things like that should make just of an the performance available.
But an app like Teams or Discord should not be hitting limits basically ever (I’ll excuse running a 4k stream, but most screen sharing is actually 720p)

You’re right, they shouldn’t be stressing either resource. Though my point was that referencing how much RAM is in the system is a bit silly when referring to a CPU being pinned at 100%. There is a HUGE swathe of CPUs with an even bigger range of performance that are all sold in 32GB systems.
I’m positive the low end of that scale could be rightfully pinned at 100% for certain common tasks.
