Well, I remember vividly the last crash, few days ago, due to the crappy proprietary Nvidia drivers suffering from race conditions (seemingly). Even the physical reset button wouldn't work!
Besides, without the card and/or the proprietary Nvidia drivers, absolutely zero crashes, however.
Linux is amazing in this regard.

Submission + - Iran blocks accounts of Starlink users as crackdown continues (iranintl.com) 1
An anonymous reader writes: Iranian police said on Thursday they had blocked 61 bank accounts belonging to users of Starlink satellite internet in the central city of Yazd, as part of a broader crackdown on unauthorized connectivity.
A local police commander said six Starlink devices were seized and six people detained following searches carried out with judicial approval.
Authorities accused the suspects of trading access to the service, sharing information with foreign-based outlets and engaging in activities deemed hostile. The individuals were referred to prosecutors, police said.
The move comes amid a broader wave of arrests across Iran, with authorities detaining dozens in recent days on security-related charges, including alleged links to militant activity, contacts with foreign media and online activity. Officials have also reported seizing weapons, explosives and Starlink devices in multiple provinces.
Starlink is banned in Iran, where authorities have imposed a near-total internet blackout during the war. Monitoring group NetBlocks says connectivity has dropped to around 1% of normal levels, leaving satellite services among the few ways to access the global internet.

Submission + - Time To Flash OpenWrt
ptorrone writes: The FCC just added all foreign-made consumer routers to its Covered List, banning new models from receiving authorization for import or sale in the US. The agency cited Volt, Flax, and Salt Typhoon cyberattacks, but cybersecurity researchers note the same vulnerabilities existed on American-brand routers too (Salt Typhoon targeted Cisco hardware). No evidence of deliberate backdoors has been presented. Netgear stock jumped 16% after hours. There isn't a single router currently manufactured entirely in the USA. Existing models are grandfathered but firmware updates are only guaranteed through March 2027. If you're running a home network and don't want to wait for the government to pick winners, now's the time to flash OpenWrt, build a router from a Banana Pi or Raspberry Pi with pfSense, or support open-source networking projects like OPNsense. When proprietary supply chains get cut by policy, open-source firmware becomes the supply chain. Adafruit has a writeup with more actionable steps for makers and hackers.

This is a debate that will continue for some time. But AI will win.
We can only assume that AI will become increasingly powerful, and there will come a point when the question won’t even arise anymore: we will rely solely on AI recommendations.
