Peanuts! My wife’s workplace has an internal photo gallery page. If your device can cope with it and you wait long enough, it’ll load about 14GB of images (so far). In practice, it will crawl along badly and eventually just crash your browser (or more), especially if you’re on a phone.

The single-line change of adding loading=lazy to the <img> elements wouldn’t fix everything, but it would make the page at least basically usable.

Haha excellent. Presumably all the images are the full res haven’t been scaled down for the web at all?

Amazing. Well, any employee that wants more ram could use that internal site as an excuse.

"Why do you want 64 GB RAM in your laptop?"

"I need that to load the gallery"
