If Google want secure encoders and decoders, then they can donate money or patches. Since they don't, the clearly don't actually care all that much, or are just mooching of volunteers' goodwill. The disadvantage in speed when

Is this a reference to this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45785291 ? If so, FFmpeg's stance is very understandable in my opinion.

Go ask FFmpeg what they're writing their encoders and decoders in.

Looking forward to a decently speedy encoder coming around. The reference one for AV1 is really not that great, and the same is true here. But as soon as we get SVT-AV2 or whatever, I'll be a very happy camper.

For reference: dav1d 0.5 can decode 143 FPS of a 1080p 8-bit video on a third gen core i7.[1] I doubt there's been much in the way of regressions since then. 10-bit and 4k is obviously a lot more heavy, but not really relevant to older

Sound like a Chrome/Youtube problem. My 2012 Macbook Pro plays 1080p AV1 just fine in VLC (pretty sure Youtube works fine too in Firefox, but I didn't check whether or not it was AV1 or H264).

Bad regulation should't be reperesentaive or regulation as a whole. If you don't get it right the first time, you're allowed to try again, and that's what should be done with regulations providing bad incentives. Gaming

I wish subscription games could be preserved too, but this is probably about as good as it's going to get. I doubt companies are going to go all in on subscription games, since that's more or less been tried and failed, and only W

I was really hoping that the WMF could manage to not shoot itself in the foot for a while, and I guess it's been nearly 7 years since Fram was banned and unbanned, so I guess it's about time.

Even then, they're using disallow lists. If you go on a random web page with novel JS, then that'll still be run. The only people working of allow lists are the people running NoScript and the like, and those truly aren't run

The new settings area is a disaster in many ways. Even beyond the fact that it broke the muscle memory of everybody who knew the old control panel, the new one still(!) doesn't have all the settings that was available before, so you st

Most of my experience with Windows has been googling for solutions rather than understanding the underlying system. So I guess it's a learning experience, but not in learning Windows itself, as much as learning to use search engines. I

Great. More data gone astray. Given Canvas' handling of the situation, I doubt they're going to learn much. The timing probably isn't a coincidence. Great time to stress out students and staff alike. Hopefully it doesn't

I'd love for that to come out during discovery when the lawsuit hits, but it probably never will. Blowing the whistle is also not a great option in this economy, although I wish more people did.
