This cycle used to be called wintel https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Now things have moved to content and display so shit in browser, games, video and display tech for content. Ever hiking resolution, hdr etc.
Cycles to milk really work. Some is true innovation but most is just uping cycle with a lot of marketing. Smartphones are a good example of it.
What only relying on JavaScript for HTML form input validation looks like
Found something true as 1 == 1
If modern computers have more memory but websites demand more memory, doesn't that defeat the benefit?
For example, let's assume YouTube's HTML-based user interface from 2014 needed 100 MB of RAM per tab. Now, computers might have 4 times the RAM on average, but YouTube's polymer JS-based user interface (UI) might need 400 MB per tab, a proportional increase. In fact, the browser needs to walk through a heavy 10 MB pile of JavaScript before being able to show anything on modern YouTube.
It seems like the higher demands nullify the performance benefit from the increased specifications of modern hardware. Computers get stronger but demands and workloads rise too, so performance isn't improved because some website operators feel the need to show off their "fancy" JavaScript.
