Computers are slow as fuck

submitted by Trope to technology 16 hoursMay 7, 2025 10:24:22 ago (+33/-0)     (technology)

Living in the distant future, we have remarkable technology. More Memory, Storage, and Processing power than we could ever need, want, or imagine. We even have the graphics chips integrated directly onto the CPU with specs unfathomable 25 years ago.

And despite all this, the software has gotten slower. There are delays when clicking/opening different windows, panels, and interfaces.

I've had junk computers running Windows 98 and XP that ran snappier than modern systems. What a joke.

That's pretty much it. Hardware has been making pretty decent progress, but the software devs that should be taking advantage of this progress are being replaced with browns so the end-users are experiencing regressions in whatever software it is they're using. And to be honest, some of the hardware progression (mainly multiple CPU cores on one chip) is inherently difficult to make the most of. A team of high IQ Whites (and some yellows) would be able to do it though, it's just that we may not see that with mainstream products due to all the outsourcing and population replacement.
