Getting a streamer’s IP attracts DDoSes and doxxing, so yeah it’s generally considered a vulnerability to use P2P in games

Aviation blogs have commonly been putting a conclusion section with header just like this since well before LLMs existed

MD-11s aren't in commercial passenger service, so it's unlikely they retire it due to a poor reputation. The huge question is what changes the FAA requires to unground it; if they decide design changes are needed to reduce the ris

They’re not big enough and some sites will hard block it with other VPNs, like the government of Delaware. Bigger sites still soft block it like Instagram which will randomly ban accounts using it, or Google with captchas every couple of se

Well the OP’s electrical noise almost certainly is coming through the USB connection as their DAC has no external power supply. Extremely common. Your problem of an AC power supply not sufficiently filtering out high-frequency noise from

See, I’d be interested in any actual evidence/writeups of that in the wild.

Yes, I’m quite familiar with that. Chrome is why I added the “generally” qualifier. And to the best of my knowledge, there has not been any in-the-wild exploit against Chrome through the handful of ffmpeg codecs they enable. Not even pwn2ow

I'd still consider that an academic exercise rather than an exploit that was deployed in the real world (aka against a machine the attacker did not control)

Yes, I know that multimedia/image vulnerabilities are popular vectors for zero-click attacks. My point is that desktop players are not a vector for zero-click attacks, and ffmpeg has not generally been used in end-user situations that

FFmpeg based players have been popular for 20 years now. Has there been a single documented actual use of their libraries as the exploitation vector anytime in the last two decades?

“Unreasonable” in the context of the 4th amendment means whether they have sufficient reason to execute the search and seizure, which they did here. Evidence of smuggling was in plain sight. He is appealing to the supreme court on 8th amend

This is not civil forfeiture in which property is seized without any person being convicted (or often even charged) with a crime. This is specifically a punishment (effective fine) tied to having been convicted of certain crimes in Alaska.

Back in the day, I remember a Blizzard interview on pre-Wrath WoW raid design. They explained how they didn't like that they spent a ton of money and effort developing end-game content that less than 1% of their playerbase would ever s

Anyone can participate, yes. For H.266, many of the big H.265 contributors didn't participate as much while Huawei, Tencent, Bytedance, Alibaba, etc. stepped up their contributions significantly. The bulk of the new coding tools were d

VVC isn't being considered for the internet by any western companies, but it's already gotten significant adoption by the Chinese companies that developed it.

Mississippi can’t unless they can establish personal jurisdiction over a specific Mastodon operator. Which if that instance’s owner/operators don’t live in Mississippi, probably requires a novel application of the Zippo test [1] that’s

Microtransaction infested games were inevitable even if mobile gaming didn’t exist. Like, of the top 10 highest lifetime grossing games, 3 are arcade pay-per-play (the original microtransaction), 6 are f2p that got their start on PC, and on

Governments have made a variety of rules on what acceptable for their individual country. The issue is that some groups don't like that governments (often, governments other than their own) aren't as restrictive as they want. Like

The only material difference AVX2 makes is that it can't saturate L1 bandwidth. Which would imply that 100x for AVX-512 is only for frames that fit within L1. And... yep, the benchmark on 256x16 frames. [1] [1] https://ffmpe

This is a new filter that hasn’t even been committed yet, it only runs if explicitly specified, and would only ever be specified by someone that already knows that they don’t know the characteristics of their video. So you wouldn’t ever run

by brigade 1y ago
It's not conversion. Rather, this filter is used for video where you don't know whether the pixels are video or full range, or whether the alpha is premultiplied, and determining that information. Usually so you can tag it correct

It's AVX512 that makes the gains, not assembly. This kernel is simple enough that it wouldn't be measurably faster than C with AVX512 intrinsics. And it's 100x because a) min/max have single instructions in SIMD vs cmp+c

macOS definitely does not ship drivers for Realtek’s vendor protocol, and only supports them via ECM/NCM. Are you claiming iOS is the exact opposite?

Less than 20% of legacy carrier tickets are basic economy, and even ULCCs don’t always charge a fee anymore. So by numbers, it is usually for free.

Airfare typically has group anti-discounts, where if you buy more tickets on a single reservation than tickets available at the lowest fare bucket, they’d sell you all the tickets at the higher fare instead of mixing fares

Dropping the high frequencies does create zero runs, and even JPEG encodes zero runs as a run-length (RRRR in the spec) But DCT isn't very useful for lossless since any lossless frequency domain representation requires more range than

For pipeline capacity, it's not even really broken in the US. The airline problem is that they have to whipsaw between "growth is stalling, time to furlough our junior pilots" and "growth is now, time to hire all junior
