All I did was close Chrome.

Why do browsers take up so much ram nowadays?
>>
how many tabs because chrome has never taken over 1GB of RAM with me having a few tabs open
>>
why is your disk at 100%?
>>
RAM is cheap. Buy more RAM.

Pagefile.

I have 3GBs of RAM and Chromium always runs at around 500mb.
>>
>>54238750
looks like you need to download more RAM
>>
It's not being used, so it's using it.

These threads always devolve into tech-illiterate consumer whores who don't know what cache is but complain about memory use
>>
>>54238750
So what? You have 8 gigs, why are you giving a shit on browser using it to store your tabs and session cache, and keep your extensions up for every single tab? Where is the exact problem here?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA

Let me finish composing my shitpost in another thread and I will return later to laugh more at how much Windows sucks.

>>54238750
I can explain this every time some retard complains about chrome using RAM.

When chrome detects you having unused RAM it pre-loads your commonly browsed webpages. This is why it appears so fast.

If you start actually using your RAM chrome will stop using it, and pages will load slower. You fucks should be thankful your wasted RAM is used.

Unused RAM is wasted RAM.

As an adult your brain is supposed to have developed to such level that you can't enjoy simple things like video games. Instead you should enjoy more stimulating things.

>desktop threads

Literally the most cancerous thing on this site. Worse then dick rate threads.

>>54239931
Like what oh great god of stimulation.
>>
>>54239931
>video games are simple
Video games are very stimulating and include intense problem solving and teamwork.

>enjoy more stimulating things
Like what? Watching Wheel of Fortune every night?
>>
>>54239931
>enslaving yourself to a daily routine
>enslaving yourself with marriage and kids
>enslaving yourself with expensive house or car

Games are as stimulating as movies/books/sports/whatever_the_fuck_makes_you_happy

You live a monotonously boring life, sorry for you buddy, you should ditch the bitch and start another life elsewhere.
