CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@thomasfuchs a silver lining is that cities are slowly but surely rebuilding their streets to no longer give cars the highest priority, making it practical for more people to not need a car

@glyph true, but I think the iOS precedence does make it more likely.

If I were working at Apple in a leadership position and involved in this project, this would be the first step in a 20 year plan to take large market share from Windows. So it'd be pointless to kneecap the Neo; you'd want it work as well as it can so as people need more power they're happy to pay more b/c of the trust established

@glyph Apple's in a unique position here: like on iOS, they could force app memory onto disk if they're in the background and using too much memory. they could even publicly shame the app, saying on screen what happened to explain slower access times as it's rehydrated into memory

@glyph honestly for average use cases (browsers, docs, spreadsheets) 8 GB is plenty. If memory hogs like browsers could just intelligently reset to avoid using swap there'd be no need to do the manual 'quit everything' cycle to free memory
