Is there a "positivity bias" counterpart to "negativity bias"?

Reminds me of a time one of my friends was happy that it was going to warm up and said something like "it's going to be twice as warm tomorrow". It was going from maybe 20F to 40F or something.
That led to an interesting discussion.
I have to use a lot of static IP addresses, and I'd take this over what I normally deal with.
I'm not personally interested in the tech, but I could see it being relevant if your refrigerator is connected to the internet and you are at the store. You could find out whether to buy more or not.
I miss the old days of Youtube where people made stuff for fun or because they were passionate about a topic, before the big Youtubers pushing shit out the door to get as many views as they can.
Monetization shifted the focus from niche hobbyist content to gimmicky shit that is tailored to get a bunch of views. When I see a thumbnail of someone with a weird facial expression, it's my cue to look elsewhere.
Steam controller is fantastic, and unfortunately there's really nothing else like it. I normally use a Logitech trackball, so the ability to use a touchpad like a trackball works well for me. I can't think of any other controllers that use this instead of analog sticks.
I've actually stockpiled a few spares because I'm not sure what I would use as a replacement.
I have a "not Lexar" 8TB NVMe that I've had for almost 3 years with no trouble. Should I be worried? Or is Lexar just bad?
Incidentally, looks like the price has barely come down on these since I bought.
