Remember the original Dropbox post [1]? "You can do it with rsync!". The general public seem to want this. Companies just seem to do what people want. I guess those things are ease of use, zero friction, and minimum learning curve

Not OP, but before 2.8 and the depsgraph refactor the viewport was really slow on not so complex scenes. The NLA system (Non Linear Animation) needed some love, since it wasn't so smooth to mix animations (can't recall the detai

A system that has access to both the microphone and the headphones could coordinate both based on past experiences (e.g., learning). I don't know how much data you would need to make it reliable though. If you know how the data is goin
