    Tom's Hardware[^]:

    The issue is related to a graphics driver bug that causes undesired power sequencing delays in the display itself, which can physically harm the LCD panels found on Intel-based laptops.

    Good thing you don't need those things with Linux

    Doesn't everyone just SSH into their laptop? :) Did that PR come from Redmond?

      Either that or the bug was introduced by a competitor. :rolleyes: on the other hand... what is worse? The linux bug? or the windows dozens of bugs?

      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
