Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough (www.xda-developers.com)

There were a number of exciting announcements from Apple at WWDC 2024, from macOS Sequoia to Apple Intelligence. However, a subtle addition to Xcode 16 — the development environment for Apple platforms, like iOS and macOS — is a feature called Predictive Code Completion. Unfortunately, if you bought into Apple's claim that 8GB of unified memory was enough for base-model Apple silicon Macs, you won't be able to use it. There's a memory requirement for Predictive Code Completion in Xcode 16, and it's the closest thing we'll get from Apple to an admission that 8GB of memory isn't really enough for a new Mac in 2024.

"Disrespectful" would be telling you that you in particular should continue to use windows or mac, and avoid Linux like the plague.

OK you know what, let me make it up to you. Just walk down the street, third entry to the right, we came into some really nice designer clothes, choose whatever you want, it's on the house. Just walk in the door, go ahead.

If I wanted your clothes, I wouldn't have left them at goodwill.
