Pendulum effect.
one month it's Intel, the other month it's AMD.
No biggie here.
I assume hardware youtubers will start the "AMD is dead, use Intel instead" cycle.

I am very skeptical about this. Firstly, I have noticed that virtually no one uses that game as a benchmark. I looked at the sites I usually visit and none of them do. Secondly, looking at those sites again, I see very little variance in performance of games at 1440p resolution. Nearly all games are GPU-bound at that resolution.
I will be very, very surprised to see if this turns out to be accurate.

Douglas Adams wrote about that phenomenon in Mostly Harmless years ago. I wonder who was riffing who or if it was just coincidence?

Dark themes for Visual Studio and other dev environments become more and more popular. There must be some good reasons for it. I thought that was hard to read. I still prefer the traditional light theme with a white background.

23" of pure white light shot straight into my eyes will fatigue my eyesight in less than an hour, causing extreme migraines and a progressive loss of eyesight. Turning down the brightness makes the screen fuzzier and causes focusing issues due to background lighting.
No amount of blue light reduction helps shielding from a lamp pointed straight at my face KGB interrogation style. Black/gray background eliminates most of the eye melting effect and allows for very bright characters, increasing contrast and thus visibility.

Reducing the brightness on my monitors to 50% at the very most (some to 25%) have caused me zero problems and I've been set up like this for decades. I can spend 16 hours a day in front of a monitor and I can't say eye strain is any issue. I'll be hurting after a 16-hour marathon, but from everywhere else.
I'm not seeing the "fuzzier screen" and "focusing issues" you're talking about.
All dark mode does for me is make the dust more visible when it's bright and sunny.
Of course YMMV and that's fine.

That makes me swear a lot.

If I lower the brightness too much I start seeing as when reading in low light, so the strain from the light is reduced but I have to strain to focus, If I don't lower it enough it's useless - I spent 7 years stuck with VisualStudio 6 and tried every possible combination. The relief I feel when moving to a bright white tanning lamp like CP to my dark themed VS feels like entering an air conditioned room in a hot summer day.
I love my e-reader because it has a grayish backgorund that doesn't reflect light, with the bare minumum of backlight (about 2-3%) it's perfect. I also moved Acrobat Reader to a grayish background and it helps a lot.
I also have a lazy eye so all the strain is concentrated to the good eye, which makes me fairly sensitive. When I transitioned to photocromic lenses my everyday life improved dramatically.
