It's roughly twice the size of the base app, if it's the same as Edge, which on my machine is 1.82GB. It's shady as hell, but "massive" is doing a lot of lifting in this headline.

I built my original Windows 10 gaming PC in 2015, with 16GB RAM. I recently re-rolled it as a CachyOS gaming PC, and had the same RAM. All was fine. VRAM on the other hand, yeah, go big or don't bother. I thought I was getting a great deal on a RTX 5050 with 8GB VRAM. It is woefully inadequate for modern AAA games, for sure. Thank goodness for protondb.com though.

RTX 5090 is only $4000 right now... /s

YMMV depending on the types of games you play. GPU-bound ones (most, these days) will suffer without a good GPU. CPU-bound games (Civilization series comes to mind) are easier to build for.

I was hoping the RAM shortage and resulting VRAM price hikes would force the game development industry to renew a focus on performance and efficiency in resource utilization, but I think they are just trying to ride out this likely multi-year RAM price gouging we're currently in.

I'm betting it is

Looks like they are back-tracking, but knowing MS, it won't be fully rolled back, just made slightly less shitty. They locked comments on the PR after the backlash.

Thank you all for your feedback, professional or otherwise. Sorry about the regression. I will work on fixing this in 1.119.

There is a number of issues with the Co-Author functionality:

• It should never have been enabled when disableAIFeatures is on.
• It should not add attribution to changes that were not done by AI.
• We need to make sure it receives a more test coverage before change the default.

This is why I went with Unraid. Being able to slap whatever drives in that I have on hand was the primary driver for getting away from btrfs (Synology). And that build was about 3 months before RAM prices started to explode last year, which I read as "all parts gonna skyrocket", which they have.

They must not know about how terrible DX12 games perform with Nvidia cards...
