So here we are, needing gigs to paint a single pixel. Congratulations everyone that chose bloat, you won.
I think it was MS Access 2.0 that had some text on the back about being up to 100x faster than the previous versions, and to me that reads as "old was crap as hell", but some marketing person thought that was a super quote to put on the packaging. Perhaps it works, perhaps not.
Lets take the pilot walking at the start of Raid over Moscow, it was super well animated and designed for the sprite limitations a C64 has, but I am not so sure it would be upscaled to represent a walking pilot, since some of the oddly placed pixels might grow into something vastly different.

Yup, still the case today.
Currently with an SSD, when there’s a power cut, there’s about a 20% chance my router will require me to walk downstairs and plug in a keyboard, type “fsck” manually and press y at all the prompts.
I haven’t actually had any issues with noticeable data loss though.
I’d settle for a default “boot anyway, press y for all fsck questions” mode on boot. I just don’t want to have to physically touch the thing.

Look up where fsck is run in /etc/rc and add the -y there.
