I would have to assume that *some* large OEM has asked for this because they process too many USB-C connector replacements. I think it was Lenovo who are able to detect damaged USB-C connectors electronically (I only know because support for it was added to Linux)? Maybe it was them? That would explain why there's a dual-port version since that mostly only makes sense for laptops.

A USB connector manufacturer is making a really #righttorepair friendly USB-C connector that can be replaced without soldering. It's unusual for a component manufacturer to care about something like this. If I were them I would be too concerned that no OEM would buy such a large connector just because it might need to be replaced. #electronics https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/j/jae/repairable-dx07-series-usb-c-receptacles

I like to trawl the recently merged #godotengine pull requests for interesting changes. Nothing earth shattering merged lately, but shadows from directional lights should be more efficient now that the culling has been impoved:

128 bits is still pretty useful, unless you are using double precision, then you're left with only two elements per vector.

ARM has a good article on the restrictions of SIMD on Arm. I didn't know that NEON is pretty outdated, insofar as it is only 128 bits wide. By comparison, AVX2 is commonplace (its over a decade old and 95% of Steam hardware survey participants have CPUs supporting it) and is 256 bits wide. I have to assume this is why Webassembly SIMD is limited to 128 bit vectors. https://learn.arm.com/learning-paths/cross-platform/vectorization-comparison/1-vectorization/

Ah, so this was a semi-sequel to Genesis II, which explains why they seemed to have skipped a large chunk of the worldbuilding.
