I have modern I7, 64GB RAM, RTX3090, a 7gbps NVME SSD and a 1Gbps internet connection. Can run pretty much any game maxxed out in 4k with 100 fps. Download 100GB files in few minutes. Can do all sorts of tasks and workloads. Can calculate the 20th billionth number of PI in a microsecond. What I cant do however is use twitter without stutters and hitches, or windows, or any shopping website.

Nice work, webdevelopers!

> or any shopping website

Could you give an example? I used a shopping website yesterday, both on a laptop and on an android phone, and apart from cookie banner popups (design choice, not hardware limitation), did not have any significant inconveniences.

Amazon, Ebay, Yeezy (which was better than most), Armani, Nike, any assortment of the regular webshopping webiste, even computer parts shopping websites lol. They're all slow and a glithcy mess. They're all horrible. Trying to browse them on my old 13inch screen thinkpad is akin to torture.
