Friendly self-reminder to never open the comment section on Phoronix ever again.

I'm "stuck" with an Apple Thunderbold Display. Can't deny it's great, sturdy, integrated mic, camera, usb ports and ethernet are actually a great thing to have and everything in it looks great despite it being "old" - but I have a super annoying issue where at like 70% of the times I turn on the computer the display won't turn on - I have to restart the PC with the REISUB thing, then turn it on, then press f9/f10 like wanting to go to the boot/bios screen, then turn the PC off, then turn it on again - it's until that time the display turns on. All I just know about this is that this is most probably due to the Titan Ridge driver in the Thunderbolt adapter my PC has, an HP Elitedesk 800 g4.

So I was looking forward to this and, if they ever have success/luck and I have money, potentially getting a Mac Mini M4 new/second hand to replace the PC. But maybe I should be looking forward to another monitor brand that offers the same features and quality.
