The airlines are the ones already investing and planning on operating these, first as an alternative to their Cessnas and other <30 seat commuter planes. The real question is whether these actually materialize or if Regent goes the way o

Cities should be dense so rural lots don’t get subdivided into 7000 sqft suburban lots. As you say, literally no one is forcing you to live in cities. But preventing dense cities will force you to live in the suburbs.

No, but unlike TVs they consume mere tens of milliwatts when the display is off (most of it going to maintaining the cellular connection), and their batteries would be dead within a couple hours if they used as much power as TVs are allowed

Vulkan Video Extensions use the same physical hardware as VAAPI, but with a little bit less of forcing you to do codec-specific nonsense. It should be better in that it's much easier to get a zero-copy Vulkan texture from the decoded f

Oh, so what you're saying is equivalent to "Apple should have cryptographically signed serial numbers/UUIDs, instead of accepting user-generated values" But they already have a record of which serial numbers were actuall

That's the foundation of attestation, not attestation itself. Macs did not ship with a TPM, and had no facilities for hardware chain-of-trust until the T2 chip in 2017.

You're asking why cryptographic attestation isn't a requirement to use a service that still supports >10-year old x86 Macs?

Isn’t the location thing that if Apple were to store any location data, it would have to keep a lasting record of said data for the government to access instead of its 24 hour deletion policy?

Yes, as a specific example, if the HDMI sink wants DSC, maximizing the quality (minimizing the compression ratio) fundamentally cannot be done without knowing the end-to-end bandwidth.

As I understand it, automatic fallback/limitation to HDMI 2.0 speeds was desired by VESA in the event of using an 18gbps cable or other signal integrity issue, so ultimately they chose to require the host to be more aware of HDMI for t

I mean, if you have access to the actual Thunderbolt spec saying otherwise then so be it. Personally, I sincerely doubt that the PCIe packets containing USB 2.0 data are specially routed over the USB 2.0 wires like you say since that runs c

That "some reason" is that a standard DP-to-HDMI 2.1 protocol converter can't negotiate beyond HDMI 2.0 link rates without the host computer knowing about and doing FRL training on the HDMI side. Completely unrelated to any l

Thunderbolt 3 doesn't use those USB 2.0 wires; that was one of the big changes in USB4/TB4 to use them. Once you're in Thunderbolt 3 mode, all USB ports are provided by PCIe xHCI controllers by the TB3 device. In actuality, t

It's done over USB 2.0 largely because that's simpler than involving newer and faster specs, and partly because that's how the original iPhone did it. My understanding is that all complaint USB USB-C cables should work for
