I've spent way too much time today trying to see how many other problems I can get to run under the measurable limit.

I suspect you already have TPM 1.2 support. From what I understand TPM 2.0 really only helps with not needing passwords. While not supported by MS, I imagine there are ways to run Win11 without TPM 2.0. My issue is that everything really wants SSE 4.2 now and my old hardware only had SSE4.1.

I upgraded my PC from one that was built in 2008 to one that was built in 2010 and now I can run the latest version of #Blender

No, it was his way of saying that the school you went to only matters in getting your first job.

It seems to be a trend now.

After that it's just counting how many iterations of z(n+1) = z(n)^p+c, z(0) = 0 you have to do before |z| > 2 like in the normal Mandelbrot calculation.

I imagine all of this will work on the Julia set, as well.

To get arbitrary exponents I rely on two identities

z = r e ^ t = r(cos t + i sin t)
and
a^b = e^(b ln a)

then

z0 = a + bi
r0 = | z0 |
t0 = atan(b/a)
r1 = e ^ (exponent * ln( r0 ) )
t1 = t0 * exponent
z1 = r1( cos(t1) + i sin(t1) ) + c

Is it fair if I worked on the same game four different times?
