  2. because Latency, also you are a noob on Ask Slashdot: Why Don't Graphics Cards For VR Use Real-Time Motion Compensation? · · Score: 1

    what good would extra 60 frames _from the past_ do to your VR experience? other than make you puke

    BTW Microsoft once championed the idea of generating 3D from a bunch of 2D tiles, this would enable tricks like motion compensation for tile reusing. It went pretty well for everyone involved (read billions invested/wasted by all MS 'partners').

    A small family owned business can't be PCI compliant UNLESS they outsource the compliance. PCI compliance for any on-premises card information handling requires multiple individual staff (one IT person can't 'audit' himself) responsible for different roles.

    Honestly it all makes a lot of good sense.

    on paper, in reality you end up with clueless non technical pencil pushing rubber stampers playing golf with C level people.

    You seem to have missed my point. I didnt mean amateur, entry level 50 year old technology soldering tip on a stick products.
    I meant professional level >$500 units meant for business use, fm203 / fm206 / rf810 - they all suck balls in one or more aspects from alarm clock UI to non stackable toy like case of 810.

    951 is the cheapest decent soldering station hakko makes (T12/T15 cartridges) Its comparable to higher end wellers/jbc (C245), yet still uses hilarious and infuriating four buttons and 5 clicks to change anything interface + loud beeping.

    under $100 on Amazon? lol I mean the real equipment, not chinese counterfeit garbage. You need at least 2 temp settings for two dif solder types, you need quick and intuitive airflow manipulation for rework. I mean fm203 / rf810, not 50 year old separate tip and heater technology your grandpa used to use.
