When things like this (or Vello or piet-gpu or etc...) talk about "vector graphics on GPU" they are near exclusively talking only about essentially a full solve solution. A generic solution that handles fonts and svgs and arbitrar

The Snapdragon Dev Kit is canceled. Snapdragon as a whole sure as hell isn't canceled, and Windows on Snapdragon isn't, either. There's loads of Windows laptops using Snapdragon with more continuing to release.

Difference is subscriptions need to support IT staff, data centers, and profit margins. A computer under your desk at home has none of those support costs and it gets price competition from used parts which subscriptions don't have.

They target different things. kmp/swiftdroid let you share business logic, but not really the UI. Although this is SwiftUI-like, it's not actually swiftui and doesn't behave as such. So you'd be doing platform-specific f

I can't use vlans because my isp only gives me a /64. So I either need to use ipv6 + kludges or ipv4 + kludges. ipv4 is obviously easier and more reliable at that point, it's a no brainer. Any sort of hot spot / bridge f

well, it's a desktop GPU with desktop-class features from 2014 which makes it quite outdated relative to current mobile GPUs. The just released Switch 2 uses an Ampere-based GPU, which means it's desktop-class for 2020 (RTX 3x
