Good old days, friend! I am still remembering my first build of 486DX4 with 1GHz and 4Mb RAM. Doom ran smoothly! 🐶🐾😂🤣🫂

What I loved about those days is people actually optimizing their software to use least RAM possible. Now it’s like oh you got 32GB? Ok I’ll use 16GB
Yes, now the complexity reduction is prioritized, not the resource usage optimization. Understandable, but still sucks. Even IOT things are moving toward that, oh boy! 🐶🐾😂
Ha, had one as well, around 1995 or so. Played Doom II over modem with a buddy and used PGP when mailing friends.
