This kind of thing is a real artform, and I love it.
Making something so bad it gets good again, because people then understand it's intentional.
Same for some visual effects in movies, or character traits, whatever. If it's too subtle, it might be seen as out of place, an oversight or a straight up error. But if you over-exaggerate it, then it suddenly works.
Reading this back, I now have no idea if I explained my thought process in a way that gets my point across.
Don't even get me started on adaptive sync. New Gsync monitors are finally capable to run VRR with AMD gpus now. Why do they bother still making them, then?
Like, with how the latency is obviously still tied to the base framerate, and the fact that lower framerates mean less information to calculate good interpolated frames from...
Basically, the tech is at its worst for low-end hardware that needs it the most. (Which is probably why they chose to restrict it to new models, now that I think about it)
A 4090 owner turning on DLSS3 is kinda like a dental surgeon getting a third car for their birthday.
Upscaling has come a long way though, and the anti-aliasing they use in DLSS is so good, they've released it as a standalone feature. That I can appreciate, anything is better than what some games do with TAA.
Just tells you how many tricks have been developed to make rasterization look as good as it does. Fascinating, really. It's always interesting to see how people work around a limitation.
The thing with real-time raytracing and pathtracing is that instead of being a workaround, it removes the limitation entirely, which is damn cool.
Just need faster hardware still, which will take at least another decade with how Nvidia keeps milking the smallest improvements gen after gen.
But when the time comes and the kid needs to write some assignments for school, you can be like Your Steam Deck can do that too, have a look at what this dock does
Imagine if handheld gaming is all they've ever used it and known it for, and all of a sudden you show them than it can be a full desktop experience, too
They might not know know, but there sure can be a lot of meta data one can use to determine that a person goes to school, where it might be, and what school it most likely is.
Or someone else straight up posted the information publicly. That's always a possibility you have to consider.
Either way, isolating certain websites and services from each other and/or the rest is certainly a good practice to limit what they can gather about you. If you don't do that already, that is.
Only 14.1? Now granted, there's so many different models that it might not apply to all of them, but the european/and qualcomm jfltexx for instance runs 18.1 just fine
(well, it's showing its age with Android 11, but still very usable)

Businesses and corporations choose their words very carefully, and people should stop trying to interprete or read between the lines in many cases.
„Our lowest price ever“ means exactly and exclusively that, nothing more, nothing less.
