-This error means that the `'ascii' codec` cannot handle input ord() >= 128, and as some Video cards use `²` to reference their power, the `ascii` codec chokes on them.

-It means `xcp.pci.PCIIds()` cannot use `open("/usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids").read()`.
+The `'ascii'` codec fails on all bytes >128.
+For example, it cannot decode the bytes representing `²` (UTF-8: power of two) in the PCI IDs database.
+To read `/usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids`, we must use `encoding="utf-8"`.
 
 While Python 3.7 and newer use UTF-8 mode by default, it does not set up an error handler for `UnicodeDecodeError`.
 
-As it happens, some older tools output ISO-8859-1 characters hard-coded and these aren't valid UTF-8 sequences, and even newer Python versions need error handlers to not fail:
