Ah yes, that probably showed my age right there. The Duke was the nickname of John Wayne, who died of cancer in 1979.
I learned a few years ago that the Duke is, in fact, not frozen waiting to be resuscitated. Of course I only learned this after arguing with my prof in film class about it. Classic urban legend. Now I’m worried about any other hoaxes I might have absorbed in the pre-Internet years. At least I know that the Glomar Explorer was not looking for manganese nodules.
He won’t be prosecuted in court anyway. It’s probably going to be a trial of the ratatatat-tat style like Ceaucescu’s. All this does is show how pathetic Lukashenko really is.

I was actually just thinking they should do this as an interim solution and then make optimized LODs to replace the automatic ones with. In fact, perhaps that would have been the thing to do instead of making advance apologies. Slightly suboptimal image quality at release would probably have been more tolerable than heinously bad performance.
Maybe it’s an ASUS thing but both my current and previous boards have been pretty good with the help texts.
