When she’s not investigating all things hardware here, she's either constructing a passionate defence of a 7/10 game, daydreaming about her debut novel, or feeling wistful about the last time she chased some nerds around a field with an oversized foam sword. More and more, AI appears to be the reason we can't have nice things on the internet.

- Check settings after major updates: defaults sometimes reset without warning.
- Backup before big version jumps; it costs minutes and saves hours.
