512MB was a huge flash drive now it’s not enough ram. Turns out Spotify can’t open-source Car Thing because it’s a potato https://www.androidauthority.com/spotify-car-thing-open-source-3449487/

I suddenly felt so old. My first computer had 8MB RAM… 486 DX2 66MHz

My first PC was FULL of memory. It had ALL the memory. No amount of money could add more. It had 640KB. It was crazy.

My first computer wasn’t a PC, it had 64KB RAM. I never needed more.

You decadent young whippersnappers have no idea.

16kb of RAM, z80 CPU. That’s how we did it in my day.

You don’t know you’re born.

But did it have that sweet, sweet local bus goodness?

Also if it is any consolation, 486DX266 was way after I got my first computer.
