That said, the bump in battery/processor, tracking for controllers, and passthrough should be nice for folks that more wanted something to try in the vein of the 2, versus the "step up" to the 3

Also to points I've seen made elsewhere; Apple has begun placing trademark material (ie logos) on individual parts (including ribbon cables, etc) to make use of trademark enforcement for otherwise legitimate third-party refurbished parts. He notes this in his videos discussing why he cannot source screens for phones anymore.

Where previously they could have third parties remove cracked glass from broken screens and re-laminate them to make legitimate refurb parts. However, these were deemed unauthorized refurbs (but not illegal/unlawful to make) so instead they used the logos on cables as justification to have customs seize them as "counterfeits" on behalf of trademark enforcement.

Just a heads up, it looks like the list on the start page at some point begins using the same previews for the different templates (despite having unique names). EG "placeport", "stereotherm", "conlangery", etc. all have the same preview for the templates. It seems like there are about 6 themes shown before this occurs. This seems to occur on both Chrome and Firefox.

FWIW, does seem pretty cool though, thanks for sharing!

Out of curiosity, there are now enterprise sellers offloading old Tesla cards for relatively cheap (ie K40 ~$100 - $150, k80/M40 ~$150 - $200); are these worth looking at on a budget versus the 900 or 1600 series cards? Especially given memory options.
