    Rachael Lillis, the English voice of Pokémon’s Misty and Jessie, has died at 55.

    She played both Ash’s companion and Team Rocket’s female lead from 1997 to 2015 across TV, film, and commercials. She also voiced some Pokémon like Jigglypuff and Goldeen, including in the Smash Bros. games.

    Her sister Laurie Orr and her “Ash” co-star Veronica Taylor both confirmed the news. Here’s her IMDB page with other roles, including Your Lie in April and Hunter x Hunter.

    Correction: Lillis was 55, not 46.

    Dell and Alienware are honoring Intel’s extended warranty now too. Five year warranty on unstable Raptor Lake CPUs.

    Intel recently informed us that the impacted 13th and 14th generation processors facing instability issues will have an extended warranty. Dell will support Intel’s extended warranty terms for a total of five-years on these processors.

    Pretty much every brand is on board now, save Lenovo and Acer:

    We asked all its competitors the same question about Intel’s crashing chips. Here are the answers:

    Lenovo wins worst answer award re: replacing your Intel CPU.

    The number-one PC maker has answered our question whether it’ll honor Intel’s two-year extended warranty on damaged chips — but the answer doesn’t even include the word “warranty.”

    Lenovo has been made aware of the instability issue affecting Intel’s 13th and 14th Generation Processors and is working with Intel to understand the potential impact on our products and how to best resolve them. We will work toward integrating into our future product BIOS any fixes provided by Intel once available. We recommend customers impacted by any CPU instability issues to contact Lenovo service for support.

    Intel is footing the bill for replacements; this shouldn’t be a hard decision for Lenovo.

    CyberPowerPC has decided to hop onto the Intel-warranty-respecting bandwagon.

    It now offers a five-year warranty on Intel’s problematic 13th and 14th Gen CPUs, just like its closest competitors.

    We also got a vague new statement from Dell/Alienware that suggests it might extend its own parts warranty, but doesn’t promise to do so.
