How old fashioned. Nowadays we download more RAM.
How long before OEMs are selling SSDs as RAM?
They tried that (sort of) back in the Vista days. It was called ReadyBoost. Basically it involved using a flash drive to hold parts of the Windows page file instead of using the hard disk.
Given that SSDs are also impacted by this fuckery that doesn't seem hugely likely. However, I've already seen at least one punter suggesting placing your swap file on cloud storage, and at this rate I can't quite tell if they were being facetious or if this is a genuine harbinger of the magnitude of stupidity we're all going to be staring down in six months.
I saw someone who put their swapfile on Google drive
It was incredibly slow and impractical
Just replace your swap file with an LLM. It'll just hallucinate your data as the CPU requests it. Problem solved.
Insufficient RAM to run it.
It's fine; I just hooked a shift register chip up to a webcam and pointed it at my lava lamp. It outputs random ones and zeroes into the memory bus and works almost as well.
