This issue was great. It gave me an excuse to upgrade to a better SSD, which also gave me an excuse to try Linux for the first time in like a decade (other than the Steam Deck). Threw Nobara on the drive that Windows would murder. Haven’t had time to play around with it much, but I’m excited to try it.

Even if the headline weren’t misleading, I wouldn’t be shocked if they have a hard time getting telemetry reports from failed drives from users if the OS is installed on said drive.

Then again, a modern OS should be able to phone home with a crash report as it crashes depending on what has failed, so I guess I’ve talked myself out of that hypothetical lack of shock.

So…disregard this. 😅

It’s not that computationally intensive to upscale frames. TVs have been doing it algorithmically for ages and looking good doing it. Hell, nVidia graphics cards can do it for every single frame of high end games with DLSS. Calling it “AI” because the type of algorithm it’s using is just cashing in on the buzzword.

(Unless I’m misunderstanding what’s going on.)

Stuff like slicing Austin and Houston into pieces that extend WAY out into the rural areas, to lump in sufficient red votes to drown out the blue of the cities.

I feel like that should’ve already been a given when the 13th and 14th gen Core processors permanently kneecap themselves if they feel like it. But that’s just me.
