At that point it'd be better PR for Apple not to donate at all lmao

Of course the average amount of ram in computers isn't some secret. What are you on about? It's only thanks to the fact that we have gigabytes of ram these days that inefficient practices are possible. If developers didn't know that, they would have no idea that was possible. How on earth do you think developers would ever optimise software and determine their performance requirements if specs were unknown? I'm not saying they're snooping on YOU individually (although there's a ton of telemetry these days everywhere and ram is probably a common statistic collected by software - Steam's hardware survey is public and shows millions of computer's specs. Any software you use knows your ram capacity - it's not secret. The ram capacity of newly sold systems is public is obviously shown on spec sheets)...

The idea is that increasing road capacity will increase demand and basically make traffic as bas again and similarly "just add more ram"-ing will just lead to developers using less memory efficient practices leading the same situation down the line.

If it was irreversible, life would've become impossible a long time ago because we would've run out of resources. Microbes and bacteria can break down waste though and make useful products for life again. It's true that you've altered the universe, it's just that literally everything you do -or don't do- does.

The point is that building the 4 lane highway is a poor solution

Yup. Hunter gatherers has a lot of free time. Honestly, I think it was pretty swell, except for lack of medical ability perhaps.

I doubt conventional trains are regularly traveling at the speed record. Thats a poor way to compare the speeds of things.

At this point GIFs in their original form as .GIF files barely exist anymore. GIF basically just means "short clip". Why would the author get any say at all at that point?

Yeah. This meme makes no sense..

Let's avoid misinforming people please. The reality is bad enough, no need to start lying and deceiving

The problem is largely that it gives power to Google to implement what they want (and how they want it) and everyone else just has to go along or become incompatible with 70% of all web users

This is exactly why I hate PvP games with unlockables. Just put everyone on a level playing field from the start, à la CSGO etc.
