After CachyOS stopped detecting my CPU fan at random (probably after a certain update), I switched back to Windows as a "sanity check" so to speak.
Since it is a brand new pc with newly purchased hardware. I thought Linux may not be the issue
But it's flying on Windows. Much more quiet too

The article has spoilers but this post won't.
I agree with the article, though. This show is a VERY slow burn. But it's a good, fun watch
There were a lot of great TV shows this year with Pluribus, Welcome to Derry, even Alien Earth had some really great moments

‘Pluribus’ May Be Slow, but It Was Never Boring
Vince Gilligan's Apple sci-fi drama 'Pluribus' has been criticized for its slow pace, but the show is never boring.

We knew this was on the horizon ... but it still hurts. LCD pricing allowed it to be such a massive value buy
It makes me wonder what this will do to the resale market

So, the "Steam Machine" I've been working on...recently stopped working properly.
I dunno if it was an update to CachyOS, or a setting I changed. But it could no longer detect the CPU fan.
The fan itself only ran at a set speed, low. The bigger load put on the cores the faster it thermal throttled

I agree with this sentiment, more or less. There could be a few AI related catalysts that keep money flowing to the industry (extending this price pressure), but I don't see it lasting much longer than this

Android 16 QPR2 experimental releases will be available soon. We're dealing with a lot of attacks on the project branching off from the smear campaign in France. We'd appreciate if our community would debunk this nonsense across platforms for us so we can focus on QPR2. Thanks.
