Re: "Anyone here participating in the old computer challenge?"
Totally understandable, @totroptof !
Personally I am, and I kinda wish I was using properly old hardware, because it's been super easy so far. My GPU is terrible by modern standards, but still much better than ones of the era, which gives me a pretty big advantage. I've been watching 720p youtube videos (albeit not on the proper website) with no trouble at all. The only change I've made is disabling some of my janky & inefficient scripts I've written, because those were eating a good 50MB of ram lol
But even still, maybe the easiness just says a lot about how I like to use my computer, that I can do everything fine with half a gig of RAM & a crap CPU :P

Absolutely! I know I would struggle with that little memory.
Anyone here participating in the old computer challenge? — Either on old hardware, or by slowing down your modern PC. It starts on Monday, and seems like the kind of thing folks here would be into. :)
