    A while back I posted about my frustration with Chromium browsers trying to force people into buying new computers by throwing a curveball to older GPUs with the new "Accelerated Graphics" feature.

    Now, just a few days after Election Day, Chrome released an update that fixed the problem. I might be a little crazy but my BS detector is telling me that
    they didn't want people with older computers to use internet until after the elections.

    This sounds dull and maybe even stupid, but the name of the game for the left is "Control people." They had little incentive to fix the issue, but they also had no excuse not to fix it. And, there was no reason to let it go unfixed for as long as they did, other than to either 1) get people to buy new computers or 2) get people to buy new GPUs or 3) get poor people to stay off the internet for the past 6 months.

    Yup. I don't rely on any of these technologies and use them only when necessary.
