My statement is based on direct experience of janky frame drops between an iPad pro and a MacBook pro sitting next to each other on the couch. I suspected some potential interference issues so I went back to USB and it was buttery smooth again. Might not match your experience but in my environment that's how it went down.

From now on, Xorg drawing primitives can only be straight lines.

Yeah it does, but definitely not as well. I've had much better results with the USB connected directly.

You can plug an iPad to a MacBook via usb c and use it as an external monitor and it works really well in my experience. Kinda makes me wonder if there isn't a patent somewhere preventing it from wider use.

Mine are older at this point (pandemic TP crisis hedging) but it's honestly hard to go too cheap. They're very simple devices if you don't want anything fancy. That said I've heard good things about going a little nicer and I'm considering an electric/heated model for our main bathroom now.

If that's the best $100 you've spent, you clearly haven't bought a bidet yet.

I'm not anger. I'm disappointment.

I mean, that seems like the most likely place, but it's not like there's a nice crater or trail or anything. Especially if the jet glided to a splashdown it may not have even left any debris to help guide search efforts in the lakes.

Yep, edited my comment shortly after posting because I'm too cool to proofread until after I post. 😎

But yeah, this is definitely a value I'm hoping can die with a generation. But also not holding my breath.

What an absolute turd of a statement. Says a lot about a person and any organization they might lead.

Meanwhile it's the same type of person campaigning for defunding of public libraries and schools.

I don't get out and about at all and I have a 3090 in my PC but I still use my deck a ton. It's amazing for getting some games in between housework or kinda just whenever. To each their own, but I've heard the same story many times from different deck users.

It's not a crypto pyramid scheme, it's a crypto reverse funnel!!1!
