    Yeah but this is unironically unacceptable.

    There was a time when I could not type faster than my computer could respond. The steady “upgrades” of software have made computers consistently worse, outpacing any hardware improvements by far.

      Holy sheeps, I’m not the only one?! I know I need to get my butt off Windows, but oh my lordie, the slowness of typing feedback gets so bad on Word or Mail that it literally sometimes refuses to graphically acknowledge an entire short word, leaving the screen void of the word I know I just typed, until I backspace one measly letter and the word (minus the letter) finally shows up.

      It is absolutely, unironically infuriating.

    Parents these days are the most technologically advanced people this world has ever or will ever see they grew up between the time when nobody had internet and we moved to smartphones.

    The worst is when someone is sharing their screen in zoom and then complaining about the lag in Chrome, while you can see the 80+ tabs… I even mentioned it to someone once but did she close them? No. Of course not.

      Honestly … I think that’s a myth. I have 200+ FF Nightly tabs open, and I did have up to five tab groups with 100+ tabs each, as well as dozens of Addons, including the notoriously laggy Dark Reader, and I don’t notice any slowdown I wouldn’t call acceptable - just the usual suspects (Teams and google apps) are crap, but that’s just incompatibility with standards on their part. And I don’t have any crazy PC or something, just a pretty old 5 2600 and for the most part 16 GB Ram (which did get pretty tight with Minecraft, Idea and FF running), now 32 GB Detotaded Wam.

        Both Firefox (see about:unloads) & Chromium have a feature to unload old tabs when running low on memory. On session restore all tabs start unloaded
