So you are saying that what makes the tactility (the slider moving on the spring) and that what makes the contact (the slider moving the spring until it touches some other metal) are the same, which is exactly what I said ("mechanicall

Seasoned gamers preload keys they are anticipating to use. On my keyboard I have less than a millimeter of travel from the preloaded point I use (which is right in front of the tactile bump and is quickly trained) to actuation. In tacticale

memcpy is done by the CPU core, at least for x86. The IMCs don't process data. The CPU core has more bandwidth than the IMC anyway, so there would be no speed-up from adding this complexity to the IMC (it would not only need to perform

They agreed, but now they regret the decision and wouldn't make it again. To prevent themselves from doing so, they will not speak with OpenBSD until later in the process.

Contra: A 14.5 year old open issue that is genuinely untouched for 14.5 years is most likely irrelevant, either because it was swept up, has become obsolete or is some kind of request that no one cares about (otherwise it would not sit arou

Patching the font colours are probably a few lines of diff, adding a QR code to a text-mode display... way more complicated.

Over network? Needs a networking stack in memtest. Over serial? Physical serial is rare. SOL would work, but since it is connection-based you can't poll it. This seems like a simple and reliable method to me.
