And often I don't get a say in what browser to use, cuz fricking public libraries or workstations at work all have Chrome by default, and I can't just always use my personal work laptop whenever I wish.
Lol nobody gives a shit about Edge.
Like I know I've bitched and moaned about how trash Google is, but every time i see something which encapsulates just HOW brokenshit horrifyingly bad shit has become in just 10 years alone. Video is about 26 min, I'll summarize the bullet points - as in each point is horrifying enough to put a bullet into your own head 
[1] Even though Google has been proven to be worse than a decade ago through incompetence, beyond that Google ALSO makes their search results ACTIVELY worse and DELIBERATELY worse. Why???
They need people to "suffer", aka spend more time wrestling with the system because that leads to retention of attention - in other words, the longer a user spends on the Google frontpage to search for shit, the longer they can be exposed to advertisements. And it doesn't matter that 100% of dramatards have adblock, 80% of users are turbo boomer normies who don't know any better and/or are willing to tolerate ungodly amounts of spammy ads and and shit.
[2] Both men are aghast the Top Level Leadership of Google is to actively go against the very objective of the Product of Google: where the original intention of Google was to aid people in finding stuff on the internet, and thus it's bad for ad revenue if peeps find stuff IMMEDIATELY.
One man interestingly makes a comment that he cannot think of many industries which deliberately makes a worse product for the goal of greater income, to which his co-host immediately replies that there are many non-software examples: such as the proliferation of Shrinkflation (trying to sell smaller products for the same price, hoping consumers won't notice), or planned obsolescence (the practice of designing products to break quickly or become obsolete in the short to mid-term, so as to sell more of it to the same targets), and so on. Thus it's unsurprising that Google would follow the same pattern.
[3] From the discussion came that Google deliberately tries to get people to spend time up until page 2 of search results, as that is the maximum target page searchers reach before giving up entirely or using another search engine - the fricks at Google do this for the sake of DOUBLING the potential adverts shown to people.
[4] I knew reddit results shown behind searches increased the likeliness of getting tech or hardware help, but I wasn't aware Google had an active fricking business PARTNERSHIP with reddit which actively promoted reddit's fricking search results.
[5] Google is constantly looking to datascrape "curated" content like reddit subreddits, in order to have databases from which to pull from in their AI models. But it's also small forum sites which Google is pillaging, which in turn could end up being the death of small scale hobby specialist forums or websites.
An example being talked was a metric shitload of AI spam in places like Youtube Shorts, where AI generated crap outnumbers the legitimate content. An example cited between the two men was AI Bloat trash having taken over Gardening Instruction Videos on Youtube and especially Youtube Shorts.
And Yes darmatards 
I know you high IQ guys probably hate and don't like Youtube Shorts, and I don't either, and I personally don't give a shit about gardening either - but I do care about widescale internet link rot and consolidation, and Gardening Hobbies and other niche shit being fricked over by AI spam will never remain contained.
And apparently many of these smallscale hobbyist channels or sites fricked by AI span were reliant on Youtube Shorts to get a foot in the door of attracting a beginner audience.
Deviant Art has been positively spammed by AI Slop shit - I would scroll cool DA art on my phone and be excited to find my feed clogged up with dogshit uncanny valley bullshit
Thus Google's AI generated bullshit may end up being the death of niche hobbyist websites or communities.
[6] Soooooo much AI spam crap already exists on all corners of the internet, that AI models scraping shit like Deviant Art for example are being polluted by existing AI art - so that they frick up the models, because these new art are not always labelled as AI, and currently AI is too stupid to detect IF art is AI to begin with.
Thus a perpetual incestuous cycle can begin, where the uncanny valley might be increased constantly 
And this is also the reason the men are most Doomposting in their talk 
because AI or Gemini shit replacing tech support search or niche hobby/topic websites would mean future content be perpetually degrading AI swill to support it.
Thoughts dramatards?

What's the point of having ram if you don't use it right?

Man, I was looking at the PC building subreddit and these BIPOCs are recommending 64gb of ram.
What the frick are you BIPOCs doing with 64 gigs of ram? Like the bulk of good games are all CPU intensive and not ram intensive. I have 16 gigs of ram and I never even get close to maxing that sucker out.

Lmao I used to have 16gb and would have to close shit to run certain games all the time.
I never do with 64gb though.
