Or maybe they will launch Win 12 with optional TPM support.

Imho making the OS(es) TPM only cannot be good for their business, many people are still on Win 10 with no intention to switch, since their motheboard does not support TPM and do not want to upgrade PC / waste PCI-E slot on TPM extension.

So yesterday, a marten visited me, it probably wanted to make a den in the space between the soundproofing wall of the engine and the cabin, it tried to eat the foam in the space between and scattered it all over the engine bay, because surprise - it is actually foam and not cotton candy. And because it probably didn't like it there, it bit through the hoses in the cooling circuit, I'm guessing somewhere near the heat converter to the cabin (the heater didn't start even after a few km, I attributed it to the cold morning). I found out that something was wrong only after 10 minutes while driving uphill, when the temperature needle shot from a beautiful optimum to red faster than a rocket with Gagarin into space. I already suspected that something was wrong, so I opened the hood and the coolant was everywhere except in the cooling system and I see the foam from soundproof wall everywhere. It probably didn't bite it all the way through, but only a little, so when the car was stationary, nothing leaked, so there was no puddle under the car either, but when the coolant pump started, it logically started to gush out like a shot deer. Then I opened the coolant tank after it had cooled, and there was about as much of it as is left in a bottle of voda after hardcore Finish rave.

Now I'm dreading what the service bill will be like. I will probably say fuck it when it comes tothe soundproofing wall,the car is a beater anyway, but I assume that the new radiator hoses will be needed. Do you have similar experiences, how much did such a bloody uninvited visit cost you?

There are many games, mostly ported from older consoles, that are constrained to 30 FPS due to engine limitation and if the FPS unlocks, the engine goes bonkers. But what about frame gen? By basically generating additional frame, we could get 60 FPS without triggering the engine jank, since the way I understand it, the framegen completely bypasses the game rendering pipeline and happens only after the frame is rendered by the game.

So most games today require SSD (like recently Alan Wake 2 or Hogwarts Legacy) to load assetts fast enough while also taking loads of space. And here is my current conundrum. When I bough PC 4 years ago, I was not thinking that far ahead and went only with 500 GB ssd and 2 TB hdd, thinking that 500 GB is enough for few games here and there that will really need the ssd. What I ended up with is now I have huge hdd that simply is not up to snuff in modern games and small ssd to juggle few games between.

My case layout does not allow for any more internal drives, so either I throw away the hdd and buy internal ssd or go for external.

And here comes my question, is external via usb 3 good enough, or will I suffer and end up having to buy internal ssd later down the line anyways?
