you are technically right (the best kind of right). i am running in userspace, so i cant replace the actual thread scheduling logic in Ring 0 without writing a driver and BSODing my machine.
think of this more as a High-Level Governor. The NTOS scheduler decides which thread runs next, but this LLM decides if that process deserves to exist at all.
basically; NTOS tries to be fair to every process. BrainKernel overrides that fairness with judgment. if i suspend a process, i have effectively vetoed the scheduler.
This is a super simplification of the NTOS scheduler. It's not that dumb!

I mean, I suppose? It's the NTOS scheduler doing the suspension. It's like changing the priority level -- sure, you can do it, but it's generally to your detriment outside of corner cases.
No, those are generally not always-on in normal use. People let screens shut off, open up fullscreen apps, etc. Most OLED firmwares also have subtle pixel shifting and pixel refresh on shutdown routines, as well as very conservative brightness settings. OLEDs in normal use are actually less susceptible to color shift deterioration than LCDs in normal use.

Probably the last thing I'd want to keep. Screen technology still moves forward at a decent pace. Screens are disposable, backlights fade over time, pixels get stuck, screen burn-in.
The only universal thing I can think of about machines I've upgraded over the years (not laptops, of course) are cases, power supplies, CPU coolers, and as long as the form factor hasn't changed/there hasn't been significant progress, HDD.
Everything else goes with the system. New CPU meant new socket, which also meant new RAM. Need to get rid of that old video card, of course.
How is this any different from the "average" American worker? Home buying is very difficult, raises are generally flat or don't meet inflation.
