Microsoft now says 8GB RAM is fine for Windows 11, after years of pushing for 16GB
Microsoft updated its Surface buying guide to describe 8GB RAM as “great for everyday use like browsing, streaming, schoolwork, and productivity apps.” A companion FAQ adds that 16GB or more is what unlocks Copilot+ PC features. No acknowledgment that, for two years, Microsoft was the loudest voice telling everyone that 16GB was non-negotiable for a good Windows 11 experience.
What makes this infuriating is that Microsoft is one of the biggest reasons why the RAM situation got so bad in the first place.
Doesn’t Window 11 use 5-6 GB of RAM on idle? $1000 PC to browse text messages.

PlayStation is ending physical disc by 2028. In other words, once the lifespan of the console ends. You now are the proud owner of a $1500 plastic brick for holding doors. And all your full price digital games purchases will be revoked just like the +500 movies they deleted from account last week.
