Gaming and heavy workloads excepted, most things we do ought to be possible on 15 year old CPU’s and 2GB. All we need is efficiency and low expectations. Fuck em.

The total computing power including the mainframes “back home” was a wee bit more. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_System/360_Model_91 (Also besides the fact that it was 200000+ gallons of kerosene that did the “going”)
