Whenever a new hype is going around I like to think back about the 3D printing craze and how little is left of all the glorious promises.

They are cool and a neat way of manufacturing things, but what they are absolutely not is magic machines.

AI/ML will find it’s niche and will allow for new and even exciting things, but it won’t be the end-all-be-all in it’s current form. It’s an overgrown version of statistics after all.

Neat, didn’t think of that!

I can really recommend those cards! They come in several sizes for laptop and desktop. I am not sure about USB. Just make sure you get the regular PCIe version and not the CNVio version (unless you have a compatible Intel Mainboard and somewhat recent processor). They differ in the naming, e.g. AX210/AX211 if I remember that right.

Unlikely, but who knows? Can you try and boot Windows (install iso probably enough)? Or some very old Linux distro? It might just be your monitor becoming weird with age.

Edit: Alsobtry with a laptop or something and see how it goes.

No, it’s just a common saying that shows how people react to this sort of news. It’s a bit cynical but not untrue.
