I don't know, it would take quite a subtle prompt to get an LLM to write the sub-edited slop in the latter part of the article:

> But there’s also something new on the software side. The advent of new technologies like DLSS, FSR, and more recently Framegen have also changed the performance equation a bit.

As somebody who only buys used electronics, I am worried that this means the used-electronics-prices are going to start rising closer to a more accurate (and more expensive) level. Bad for me, but probably good for allocation of resources.
55 answers to that poll, with no idea of if or how it has changed from last year. I do believe that many people are postponing upgrades, but those poll results are not worst spending that many words on.
Am I the only one who hasn’t felt the need to upgrade in _way_ more than just one year? I still have an old XPS 15 9560 (pushing 10 years!!!) running Ubuntu which is perfectly usable. I upgraded the ram (32Gb) and the battery, and I still consider it to be totally usable for most day to day tasks. Development, docker containers, browsing the web with an unhealthy number of tabs open. What more do I need?
Same. My daily driver is a high spec Dell laptop from 2018. I do CAD work on it and it's approximately fine. I upgraded the memory last year and I've had to repaste the heatsink and replace the battery, but I still can't justify getting a new machine given that it does everything I actually need flawlessly.

These aren't the words of a human – they're the words of an LLM

It just distracts the discussion away and adds nothing.

Today I checked its price on the web I bought it and it was almost 300€ more.
