The bug is in the Webbrowsers, because a random webpage can do that.
It’s all intentional to get you to be so frustrated with your current browser and switch to Google Chrome.
Oh no
anyway
i like that the explanation sounds like nobody is able to review the code and find / fix the bug.
Either someones on vacation or Gemini is still trying to vibecode a solution
If I were forced to pick, I’d say it was caused by an inexperienced programmer using AI that caused this.
Does a thing like crowd-sourcing ram work? Is it a thing? This would probably be the symptoms though, yeah?
I guess I should have looked it up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_volunteer_computing_projects
RAM’s main advantage over HDDs/SSDs is fast access times.
Needing to fetch anything over the internet would make it faster to just use HDDs.
Theoretically, you could do whatever processing you need using the user’s CPU and RAM and then send the result back over the Internet. Not saying that’s what’s happening, of course, but it’s not completely ridiculous.
That’s what distributed computing is, after all. Like Folding@Home.
