Forget datacenters. This is where it all went.

This guy might be the one to crack fusion power. Purely by accident. After his PC goes nuclear.

    A lot of people misuse tabs. I see lot of horror usage at work. Many empty open tabs. Multiple tabs of the same thing. And the list is too big the person itself gets lost each time they need to go back to something. They don't even close anything. Always open in a new tab. So this image is almost real for some people I know.

    When I get too many tabs open in a browser, I simply open a new browser to keep things orderly. What? 17 browsers with 20 tabs each is killing my pc?

    Multiple tabs of the same thing is the worst. "But i have changed XYZ, why is it not on the page?" - "Bro, you have edited and saved the page in that tab, not in this one."

    I do often forget to close to tabs so I have that issue too. Usually about 30% of them stay open but unloaded because I want to look at them again but not clutter my bookmarks which seem too sacred. On my laptop I've just told it to not store my tabs on close.

    Couldn't be me lol. Every single tab I have is at maximum utility. Obscure articles, research topics, and scientific journals I "swear I'll get to" but don't have the time to read in its entirety. No bloatware from clunky news sites or unfinished searches, all my youtube stuff has been added to Watch Later and closed when not in use. I even installed Tab Stash to help but it only mildly shifted the problem and made way for new tabs.

    It's gotten so bad that I only allow myself to browse in-private anymore, so that way I really prioritize what I leave open "indefinitely" and what's worth looking at now, because I know the next time my browser crashes (which is about once or twice a month) I will lose all those pages now lol

    Browser crashing once or twice a month is big indicator your torturing it. Memory gets so full it is auto-killed (out of memory situation) I get a browser crash once in 5 years.

    TL;DR: 84,000 extensions and it took 2 hours to startup on a fat 42gb+ RAM workstation, but mostly because Firefox "regressed" from using SQLite to JSON for addons lol

    I have never understood this argument. Extra ram to me is in case I need it, not a new reason to try and test how much my machine can handle.

    Who the fuck writes "instagram" into the google search? You can't remember that it's "instagram.com"?

    well I kind of do it. I don't have an app for it so I just tipe In at the adreess bar and it takes me to a google seach where I click Instagram.com. It's faster to tipe In and click a link

    I don't have a personal instagram only one from my closed business, but I go there from time to time to see pictures of my nieces ans neaphews that live abroad. So I don't use often

    At this point, the specs are just impressive lol

    I got so many tabs open on this HP pos that if I attempt to so much as open corru.observer without closing all my background processes, my PC becomes a nuclear generator and after about half an hour I get a DOS message about emergency shutdown from an overheated battery lol (great game btw)

    RAM is fine. Now, the hard drive swapping data to/from the RAM is what's gonna give out first.
