மூவகை மூவர் போலு முற்றுமா நெற்றிக் கண்ணர்

நாவகை நாவர் போலு நான்மறை ஞான மெல்லாம்
ஆவகை யாவர் போலு மாதிரை நாளர் போலும்

தேவர்க டேவர் போலும் திருப்பயற் றூர னாரே.

gollark: Lots of Nvidia GPU laptops have the Nvidia GPU wired to no displays and just shuffle frames over the PCIe bus constantly.
gollark: Basically everything sends raw video frames over some port or other.
