I believe this is what's happening. I read something recently from Raymond Chen that it works like:

1. Open file with the delete flag 2. Call a function to set the new file information 3. Close the handle.

The signal that a file was renamed happens in step 2, and that signal/event is what many applications subscribe to. Explorer will wait until the rename is fully completed with the handle closed before showing the change.

When I ported over to Project For a few years ago, it took about 30 minutes. I think there's a "pre-transfer" step that gets everything ready to cutover before you confirm.
That user took a strong position in GME before this all went down, and is still holding.
My dental insurance, Beam, sent me a free Bluetooth toothbrush when my company signed up. There's a companion app with plenty of settings to change power and patterns too. It may be worth looking into!

In C#, _ is called a "discard" variable. I found that to be an apt term to grasp the concept quickly.

That's awesome! What print speed did you use? (your steppers sounded like it was very high) And do you slice 1st layer normally?

SQL Server Operations Studio works well on Linux for most tasks I would have used SSMS for. It's much lighter too!

The default settings have some noticeable latency (5-10ms), but changing the video encoding from "balanced" to "fast" drop it down to almost nothing. You can additionally plug the controller(s) into your PC to further remove any input delay. I can't vouch for emulated arcade games, but it works surprisingly well with a steam collection.
