Unfortunately this isn't true. They're certainly better than what they used to be, but they are no where near as reliable as Nvidia's. We tried a build out roughly 6 months ago and we couldn't switch back fast enough.

The funniest outcome with this whole “Apple vs. Beeper” saga would be if Apple said, “Fine use the iMessage protocol. We won’t break interoperability and you can even have full feature parity…

BUT… Any messages sent this way will still show up as the dreaded “Green Bubble”.

(I hope Eric and the Beeper team can pull through!)

This is a very slick demo. Nice job!

If you value your time at $0…

This is bad advice in general, but it's especially poor advice given the fact that the "crazy person" is running the company. OP needs to lawyer up immediately before (more) damage can be done.

I can assure you that it wasn't related just to rebooting as this has been something that's been bugging me for months. I had previously rebooted earlier in the day because of this exact same issue (a runaway WindowServer process), before I saw this article. I also did a fresh reboot before following these instructions too as a sort of "control".

The change only happened for me after removing Chrome as well as the launch agent for keystone.

I've had noticeable issues with "WindowServer" in the past (taking 80% CPU usage and causing the fans to ramp up even when the system seemed like it should be idling even after a reboot) so I decided to give this a shot.

This is anecdotal but there is a noticeable difference for me with responsiveness after following these steps. Currently the WindowServer process is hovering around 14%.

This is fantastic!

I was pleasantly surprised how fast I went from signup to actionable data/graphs (roughly 2 minutes). Based on your landing page I was expecting to have to spend considerable more time on it.

Perhaps you could include a demo to show how quick it is to get setup and have something useful?

The reason f.lux sideloaded app got pulled is because they didn't release their source code. Instead, f.lux relied on loading/patching a binary that bypassed some of iOS security features and could load unsigned binarys (read: it could then run pirated apps).

Just the joke :)

Does this support 3D hardware acceleration? That seems to be a common problem for these types of setups.
