Yes, that’s the restraint the writers are showing. That’s my point: the issue isn’t the multiverse aspect itself, it’s the replacability brought on by unrestrained multiverse implementations.

His future self opens a window and says “Hey, get some paper and a pen, I’ve got some winning lottery numbers for you!” and his past self goes “Oh boy!” and then immediately CLICK (closes the portal) before ever being shown the numbers.

Here’s your issue - it’s not the future self opening the window, it’s his past self. The future self can only speak through the window, but he can’t open it. So since the “current” self closes the window, the future self won’t be able to speak through it.

I get what you mean, but I have to disagree a bit. The slice of the multiverse we’re looking at is special because we’re looking at it. It only makes it irrelevant if the slices are treated as fully replaceable.

Take for example Invincible. The comics & series focus on a young superhero who could have become incredibly evil, but didn’t. The multiverse is used to highlight this: it shows alternative versions of him that did become evil, and it even says that most alternative versions did so. This makes the version of him we focus on that much more special, and allows for interesting character progression through being confronted with his fears.

But it only works because of the restraint of the writers, never showing us another good version of Invincible, only focusing on evil alternatives.

It’s absolutely crazy to me that there are unironically people recommending Arch to newbies.

I can’t stop using Linux.

My desktop computer? Linux.

My work laptop? Linux.

My phone? Linux.

My robot vacuum? Linux.

Linux. Linux. Linux.

His future self showed his past self the lottery numbers through the open window, but he closes the window, so his future self can’t show them to his past self.

We can turn this into some gourmet shit

When I was a child in kindergarten, one time we managed to make two beyblades produce a spark. To this day, that’s one of my proudest moments.

Fair enough, I hope you’re correct.

Did they explicitly say anywhere that future versions should be coming as well? I only see them mentioning Android 16, and devices still being “supported”, but that could also mean improvements in Android 16.

Could you please link this explanation?

Sadly they might not be able to update GrapheneOS to new Android versions anymore :(

You sure about that?

No?! Have you read the title of this post?

What? No. If DLSS requires less memory, you can use more memory for other things. This means you can use a less beefy GPU, which is worse for Nvidia.

Less VRAM usage means you can use higher-quality models and textures.

It’s fairly common knowledge that SSDs outperform HDDs in both sequential and random reads, and while the file size & number of files have an impact, it doesn’t negate this difference.

A quick search confirmed that SSDs perform better in your scenario than HDDs. I don’t care enough to spend time finding proper references, because again - this is simply common knowledge.

Of course SSDs are still much faster reading massive amounts of tiny files than HDDs are. Obviously random read speeds are much, much better, but even sequential reads of tiny files are a lot faster.

If you disagree, please provide numbers or references.
