One of the APIs is DXVA/MF on Windows but the underlying hardware is still NVDEC (and you can use the NVDEC API directly if you so choose). It and NVENC are specialised hardware modules.

Not so much CUDA as NVDEC. And VP9 support was introduced in Maxwell Gen 2: http://developer.download.nvidia.com/designworks/video-codec...

I didn't say it has to solely reside on the storage medium. The phone can keep a copy and a user can make a backup.

That was just an example. You could also pair the key to a person by some other method, such as storing a copy of it on a storage medium other than their phone.

My point is that you didn't say "it's not the way most people use a browser", you said that normal people don't "ever" use that many tabs. You made an overly absolute statement and I'm refuting it.

I think you have an idealistic view of the way normal people use computers, making an absolute statement like "ever". Here's an example of a "normal" person with 1250 of them: https://www.reddit.com/

This definitely isn't what they're saying. Lepton (one of the examples they mentioned) losslessly compresses a JPEG to Lepton format, then losslessly decompresses it back to JPEG. The pixels are never decompressed and in fact a JP

I'm sure we'll get another image format based on the I-frame compression from a video codec but I agree that BPG is unlikely. More likely is we get something from AV1, which should be patent unencumbered and hopefully perform bett

The report seems to present lots of conclusions to controversial issues (like the hacking) but it provides zero evidence for these conclusions. The little that's backed up by evidence in there is Russia's public propaganda efforts

The highlighting can be customised to do pretty much anything you want. I imagine OP does something like highlighting "should" a different colour to "must" and things like that. I too am curious about details though.

Instead of subsidising those in need through price changes, the government can simply subsidise those in need directly, paying part of the bill itself. This is how it works in many other countries.
