They're not the only good speakers these days, though.' When they came out, there was nothing else that had their combination of sound quality and app features. Before their new app, the competition had basically caught up, Sonos

I have some old Sonos speakers that have been gathering dust for a while. I decided to sell them because they still have some value but I don't really want them, especially with what the company has done recently. However, I wanted to

That's an example of something that can be done well or done poorly. AirBnB, UberEats and Facebook are all built with React Native and they have excellent performance. Using a JS framework for your UI doesn't inherently mean it wi

Do you actually have experience with those programs? Here's what DEI programs actually do in practice, in my experience. As a simple example, let's say there is an opening for a somewhat senior position, like a director. Your team

How do you propose a company like Honey should make a profit without deception and scams? Their product is supposedly: install a FREE extension and you get discount codes applied for you at retailers when you check out. It turns out they we

I'm a fan of more frameworks for desktop apps that wrap system webview rather than embedding Chromium. Chromium is awesome and all, but it's just way overkill for many apps, and doesn't make sense for the download size and th

They join a 3rd-party meeting using a browser. Then they capture the video from the meeting in Chromium. Then they need to send that captured video to another process for compression and processing. No, WebSockets isn't the most effici

by dmazzoni 2y ago
The initial approach was shipping raw video over a WebSocket...between two processes running on the same machine. That doesn't sound like a ridiculous idea to me. How else would you get video data out of a sandboxed Chromium process?

I'm assuming it's because the compressed video on the wire is encrypted?

Their business is joining meetings from 7 different platforms (Zoom, Meet, WebEx, etc.) and capturing the video. They don't have control of the incoming video format. They don't even have access to the incoming video data, because

I don't understand the logic behind this argument. Yes, some people made a bet on office real estate, and they're in a bad position right now. But those aren't the same people who are running businesses that use those offices

Chrome already has optional built-in support for generating alt text for images. It's been there for years, using a server-based API. It does seem possible that this could be replaced with a local model in the near future. It's no

Why can't they just do it more like Microsoft security patches, making them mandatory but giving admins control over when they're deployed?

That's the thing, it's not very expensive! It's actually a pretty excellent price for what it does well. That's why so many people bought them and continue to use them.

I think it's more complex than that. While web browsers do use GPU rendering, they're not game engines. They don't draw every single object on the screen every frame, that could easily cause lag on a large complex page. Chrom
