  This is probably one of those times where the reporter doesn’t understand how virtual memory works.

  Anyone remember when Windows 95 could run (like shit) on only 4MB RAM? Not GB, MB…

  Pepperidge Farm remembers.

      Of course not. In that time we didn’t have machines with GiBs of RAM.

  Isn’t it using webview2? I thought that shares resources across all webview2 apps.

  Can’t you just buy a few computers? One for weather, another for text editor, third for audio, etc?..

    Of course, just need a few windows licenses.
