Looks like Android OS emulators are asking for a minimum of
12G RAM. Linux or MS.
All available hardware here maxes out at 8G.
How serious is this RAM requirement? This is not for gaming.
Apps or Software for bluetooth-connected devices seem to generally ignore PC use - battery monitoring etc.
Older hardware would usually supply a serial com of some sort with standard terminal or custom GUI for PC)
In this case I'm looking to sub PC for nonexistent smart phone for hearing aid user's adjustments (92yr old). Otherwise it's a trip to the oculist (time and $). Hard enough getting user to wrestle with her PC.
Non smart phone hearing aids are supposedly no longer made, after recent chapter 8 events.
