My guess is they are competing for the nascent consumer vr/ar market, which may not require top tier gpu performance for that much longer. Microsoft's Mixed Reality platform has the stated goal of running on integrated graphics an

Is their hybrid cloud a real thing now? I remember them touting it around 5 years ago, but for years it just never arrived, till I gave up waiting. Just seemed like a bait and switch actually.

Since you stressed the point that WASM does nothing to improve the rendering model , it's worth noting I never wrote that it did.. but about replacing the UI with custom libraries (rendering to canvas), hence why I used Unity as an ex

I created the MS account through the web interface, and didn't link it with the pc. I've just checked and the pc is still using it's local account with no sign of the MS account from the web (which is as it should be). Thanks

The issue is caused by the way the Nvidia Optimus works - there's a physical connection which always goes to the onboard intel video, then the Nvidia video card outputs to the onboard video, which outputs to the physical connection.

p.s. This is not to pick on Redux specifically though, this redefinition of terms is rampant across the new hot js frameworks from what I've been able to read about them with the limited time on the planet I have.
