Chrome memory Memes

Remember when we had to optimize code to run on 2MB of RAM? Now we're out here with 16GB machines running Electron apps that somehow still manage to lag. The PS5 and Xbox Series X sitting smugly next to our gaming rigs while ancient consoles like the SNES and original PlayStation got by with kilobytes. Those old-school devs were literal wizards—squeezing Doom into memory smaller than a modern email attachment. Meanwhile, I'm over here watching Chrome devour RAM like it's an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Spent $300 on 32GB of RAM just to run a PlayStation 2 emulator that originally worked on a console with 32MB. That's the tech equivalent of buying a Ferrari to drive to the mailbox. But hey, at least Chrome can finally handle more than three tabs without having an existential crisis.
