When I reported my Whatsapp was using 320MB it had been running for a week. The writer is just not that good when it comes to analyzing technology. He wants to trigger outrage, which it seems he has done.
I don't have Facebook or Instagram. I use WhatsApp to communicate with my family that are a mix of iOS and Android. I have never seen an ad. As I posted, my WhatsApp uses about 320MB of ram. I have nothing to be outraged about.
It's something I've always done. I pick an app. ie: Firefox but then at some point I'll go to the alternative to see if it has something I might have missed. This way I can evaluate it myself rather than rely on someone else's bias. I've been using Edge for about 3 months now, and it really isn't that bad. I'm going to try Brave next.
As I mentioned earlier, I use the free version of Claude to help me with automations and dashboards in Home Assistant. It really is an incredible tool.
I don't know what that means. How much TEAM my PC has? You saw what Edge was using. This PC, which basically is a boy doing a man's job, has 32GB of RAM. It runs all of my 'ARR' apps.
I just don't see the issue with Whatsapp. It runs perfectly fine of my crappy HP I7 7700 PC.
What is wrong with some people?
