    Haha, I’ve used an analogy like this before. Not only is the CPU fast and the RAM low, but the entire system doesn’t like to go to sleep when you tell it to. Ever had a computer that woke up from sleep mode from the slightest bump? That’s me. That’s my brain. It’s why I was up at 4am this morning.

    One of my friends has ADHD and has described it to me as:" like having a GLA motor on a smart. And the clutch is completely worn out. It may rev high. But we’re getting nowhere" Not sure how correct of an explanation it was. But it was a woderful metaphor.

      I have a small amount of swap that I can use for extra burst maybe once or twice a week. I almost always use it up on work.

    My storage doesn’t randomly disconnect, but frequently (and randomly) when I open saved files, three to six other files open alongside it for whatever reason and that can get a bit overwhelming and for sure bogs everything down.

    Very helpful for making diverse connections between the files (how my OS knows which files are related is beyond my comprehension), but way too much for daily use.

      This is a great idea to illustrate what it is like having ADHD.

    I liken it to a single incredibly fast core and a scheduler that was written in Malbolge. I also have a ton of cache, but no RAM.
