According to AMD, bringing fsr4.1 to pre-rdna4 must be done on a case by case basis to ensure quality standards are met.

Has anyone done extensive testing of OptiScaler of various older rdna cards and apus? To see just how big of an improvement there?

If such a database was compiled we would know the answer then, worth the effort or not. Because right now, seems a whole bunch of he said vs she said, not evidence based.

Optiscaler upscaling should be explored and tested more. If I may make a suggestion, it'd be nice if this site started.

Don't need to test everything. Just the main handheld apus would be enough. (Deck, Z1 extreme 780m, z2 extreme 890m and halo 8060s)

Correct. Now that's all left is grassroots organised collective action through mass general strikes and protest movements.

Throughout history whenever there's been mass concentrations of wealth and power, it's never been given back freely to the people. It's always had be fought after through struggle.

Monterey Park, CA made history recently becoming one of the first US cities to ban AI data centre rollout. It happened because people united both local officials and environmentalists.

Also shows that while nothing can be done with federal/national govt level, local officials are more workable/willing and less corrupt. It's a better strategy to fight at local levels for change than waste down waiting for any change to come from the top.

Yup. Same neoliberal policies and austerity agenda been happening for decades in the all Western governments.

Man, I can't believe the fact that nearly 5 months after panther lake release I still couldn't find a decently priced one. Only ones that caught my eye were the OmniBook 7 and Xs. Both were north of 1300, with a 1200p 16 inch display. Expected better from HP and the industry.

I heard 30-50? years ago, CN was leading in 5 out of 61 (or 65) fields, now it's like 60, so leading in most.
