I dont know how often it happens but I have seen resin encased battery packs catch on fire. Though they were 6 KW/h packs.

Hedrin doesn't use pesticides. It's made of dimeticone and is very effective from my experience.

"PDMS is effective for treating lice in humans. This is thought to be due not to suffocation (or poisoning), but to its blocking water excretion, which causes insects to die from physiological stress"

I like this take, it's like the LLM is doing a cold reading of what the expected response is.

You don't need to shave your head if you get lice! There are many treatment shampoos for lice.

Microsoft just improved dGPU performance on Windows 11 laptops (CASO) (devblogs.microsoft.com)

"In our tests, on a select set of popular PC games, we observed an average of ~16% FPS increase1 and ~27% display latency reduction1. In addition, CASO contributed to a 45% decrease in timeout detection and recovery events (TDRs)"

Cross Adapter Scan-Out (CASO) can improve the performance of hybrid laptops that have both an integrated GPU (iGPU) and a discrete GPU (dGPU) or external GPU (eGPU). CASO is a feature of DirectX that allows the dGPU/eGPU to directly display the rendered frames on the screen, bypassing the iGPU. This reduces the display latency and increases the FPS for gaming scenarios. CASO does not require any specialized hardware solutions like NVIDIA’s Advanced Optimus or AMD’s Smart Access Graphics (no mux switch needed), but it does require Windows 11 and compatible hardware (AMD 6000, Intel Iris, any nvidia dGPU).
