Wait, what did they do before if they didn't do PWM? Did they actually dim the pixels? I thought everything was PWM at this point.

They've always uses PWM. The author is confused. PWM is the one that does cause eye strain. DC dimming is the alternative which does not but it's pretty rare.

The difference is that they're increasing the PWM rate so it shouldn't be as bad. Google skimps on a lot in the Pixel line.
