You can run Windows on 200 MB of RAM
The moment you use a file that is bigger than 1GB, that computer will explode.
Some of us do more than just browse Lemmy.
HP printer ink, that is their main source of revenue

And that IT department also knows how to disable it with a single Group Policy
It really is a none issue
Are you trying to promote the tipping culture in that job as well or something?
You guys don’t have paid vacation or something?
Any computer with only 1MB of RAM is also usable … as paperweight.
