  • Wait? Normal people are constantly buying an extra stick of ram because their browsers slow down too much.

    We may not realize it’s a problem because the tech sphere (and especially the pc gaming sphere) is famous for overbuying. I used to frequent buildapc over on that other site and there are daily posts of people asking if their RTX 3060, 10th gen i5, and 16gb of ram is good enough for basic gaming and getting told no “actually you need at least a 4070, 13th gen i9, and 32gb of ram just to be low end!”

    Hell, I used to be a frequent commenter on lowendgaming and would constantly have to butt heads with gamers who believed that a 4060 ti was low end.

    It’s an unhealthy mindset that a lot of pc powerusers have that makes it impossible for them to engage reasonably with articles like this because they simply cannot wrap their heads what is actually normal in the world of pc users. /endrant

    Give them the chance to show you how they solved it on the board, if they can then great! Give ‘em the points and send em on their way. If not, then give them a zero for that part of the test and move on.
