According to: https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Nintendo_64_emulators

One of the biggest hurdles to emulating the Nintendo 64 was the Reality Display Processor (RDP), which used a custom design that had to be fine-tuned to get higher performance out of the system using microcode. To emulate the RDP accurately, one would have to execute said microcode the way the RDP did, which differed from the PC graphics cards of the day. To complicate matters further, API standards available on PCs two decades ago were nowhere near as flexible as they’re today. If you wanted to make an accurate GPU-accelerated RDP plugin in 2003, you simply couldn’t with the APIs of the time (OpenGL 1.x and Direct3D 9).

Accurate low-level emulation would only come to the GPU in 2020 when a new version of the Mupen64Plus-based ParaLLEl libretro core was released containing a rewritten RDP plugin using compute shaders in Vulkan.

I can imagine little worse than doing what you just described although that is (in part) due to moderate social anxiety. I behave in the exact opposite way - ignoring people regardless of how much they stand out because I don’t want to stare.

Though I can imagine what you’ve been doing has helped others.

I’m not too well-versed with server-grade hardware but my concern is that it would end up somewhat like Intel’s (consumer) CPU sockets: Changing every 2 years to ensure you need to purchase new motherboards when upgrading.

You would?

I use public transit daily and hardly ever interact with anyone. Maybe there is one interaction every 100 days? I don’t frequently see two strangers interacting either, it’s unheard of except maybe for retirees with effectively infinite time.

I can’t really answer/reply to most of your comment but there is something about the last paragraph that I can respond to:

What about bi-/pansexual men? They exist [1][2] and there will be many that are attracted to people in between gender( expression)s.

The issue with that design is that the PCIe standard would be replaced with something proprietary.

I’m pretty sure that could be negated by having a dot appear somewhere in the corner if the screen is currently being recorded. That would prevent silent snooping at least.

That’s at least what my phones does for certain sensitive permissions, like camera or microphone.

I guess Cyprus will never be able to join the EU either then
