He's just scrolled to the bottom of the article? I can see the comments button

That said I do hate sites like this and yeah, I can use ad blockers but it's easier just to avoid the website

Time taken for me to eat that mass of hotdogs

TL:DR The stuff the dedicated module is doing will go inside specific Mediatek chips on specific premium monitors

Really weird it's taken this long - I remember reading that the modules were expensive and assumed it was just because they were early generations and Nvidia was still working things out

It was actually pretty great when I worked for a company making things here in england:
"That needs to move 50cm" meant it had to move exactly 500mm
"That needs to move a foot" meant just kick it over about a foot

It was just an unspoken thing that metric meant precise and imperial was just caveman measuring

Got into making redstone logic in Minecraft, including joining a community of people building all kinds of crazy things like CPUs. This was early days too - I think the repeater was brand new

Eventually wanted to make mods so started learning Java. Was bad at it. Then wanted to make games in unity. Was bad at it. Learned C++ at Uni. Dropped out and was bad at it.

Kind of repeated this cycle for various languages and tools for years, never with enough motivation to learn properly. Eventually I hit a critical mass of skill and was able to actually make things in HTML/JS and over a couple years this snowballs until surprisingly quickly I find myself a senior developer teaching others!

We had a zoom call with a very well reviewed, recommended broker local to us. Next day I get a spam call pretending to be the bank we talked about the most as a lender, but that we currently have no business with. My paranoia has been at 100% ever since

I think most of the horror stories are from people printing way too fast and too low
Many people print with too small z-offset because "that's when it sticks". you can get away with it in pla but petg will just become a mess

It's not stateless end-to-end, it just means the client needs to keep track and pass the state rather than drivers or hardware

I'm not 100% on the motivation but from an architectural standpoint it does make sense - your software can now do many new and weird things without a hardware change

One example I saw was allowing an arbitrary number of streams to be processed simultaneously, just passing the different context state for each stream
