Thank you, Google Chrome!

Amazing how the simple act of unchecking the Use hardware video acceleration box in Chrome allows you to waste several more hours watching cat videos (and videos on how transformer neural nets work :love:). /ravi

Curious: what problems were you seeing with it checked? (And does this mean it's time for you to upgrade your rig? If so I'll help you go shopping. I have a couple in mind...)

Hi Chris, I have a one year old NUC (i7-1165G7 @ 2.80 GHz, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD, Win10 with Win11 capability) that runs well. After my latest Chrome upgrade, playing a few YouTube (but not Vimeo) videos would cause my screen to blink randomly, even after I'd shutdown all instances of Chrome. This had never happened before. Disabling hardware video acceleration in Chrome fixed it! /ravi

I have a similar issue with the latest NVidia drivers and Chrome. It causes temporary full screen artifacts sometimes, but it's like they flash on the screen and then go away, so I've lived with it. At first I was really concerned. See, my mobo lost the little PCIe clasp for the GPU slot. I'd put it back in, but if I do so for reasons I will never be able to remove the GPU again without disassembling my entire mobo, including CPU, cooler and RAM. My mobo is horizontal, so it shouldn't be a problem, but for a bit there I thought that might be the culprit - a loose connection. Then I realized it only happens when I'm using Chrome. I suppose I could disable hardware acceleration, but it doesn't occur frequently enough, or for long enough at any given time to be that bothersome to me. :)

I've been considering an M3 Air. Is that on your short list?

I also saw the annoying artifacts. Worse, after watching a couple of YouTube videos my Android emulator (started from within VS) displayed rendering errors (missing bottom navigation bar, missing app icons on home screen). I feared I would need to do a dreaded system rebuild or worse get a new box, but a bit o' Googling thankfully pointed me to the solution. All's well now. :thumbsup: /ravi

That actually is my short list.
