Given the administration’s recent approaches, I’d expect the FCC to review the licenses, come to a quick conclusion, and follow-through with revoking those licenses. Then, things will get interesting when Disney files with the courts, and the Trump admin just blatantly ignores court injunctions and later rulings to reinstate the licenses—actually challenging the authority and legitimacy of an entire branch of our government (if the executive branch refuses to enforce a judicial ruling, do we really have a functional government?).

If you’re developing in Xcode, you did not buy an 8GB Mac in the last 10-years.

If you are just using your Mac for Facebook and email, I don’t think you know what RAM is.

If you know what RAM is, and you bought an 8GB Mac in the last 10-years, then you are likely self-aware of your limited demands and/or made an informed compromise.
