512MB was a huge flash drive now it’s not enough ram. Turns out Spotify can’t open-source Car Thing because it’s a potato https://www.androidauthority.com/spotify-car-thing-open-source-3449487/

    I mean, VPSs with 512MB of RAM exist, so surely it’s still useful for something.

      Yup, and I use them. 512MB is more than enough for a lot of things.

        You’re referring to dumb home routers right?

        Because for example OPNsense recommeds at least 8GB of RAM, though the bare minimum is 2GB.
        And even purpose-built enterprise routers are certainly in similar ballpark. BGP will eat that.

        I don’t think I’ve seen one of those dumb ones with nearly that much RAM. Usually they’re like 16MB/32MB. Guess I’ll have to check.

          My Mikrotik router at home (entry level enterprise gear) has 512MB RAM, and it can do most of what those bigger routers can, just a lot fewer connections.
