I remember when virtual ram was a thing. I can't remember exactly how it worked but IIRC software designated part of your hard disk as temporary ram. Which is a convoluted way of saying it used to be possible
It is still possible. Its called swap
swap is way slower than physical RAM though
Used to be?
Yup, it's swap on nix and "page file" or whatever on Windows. Without it, the OS would have to kill apps or just crash when it runs out.
Pff as if they know what a ram is..
