πŸ’– i810_hires β€” the "bestie, turn on high res" page πŸ’–

okay so real talk, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual β€” section 9, the kernel-internals zone, iykyk 🧚 It's called i810_hires and its whole personality is: it turns on high resolution mode. That's it. That's the vibe. ✨
