Probably because their product was toy-grade, slow and with inaccurate movements, not meeting the demands for the industry. It did look photogenic though.

You can steal Firefox cookies and even passwords easier, they're stored unencrypted in the user profile directory.

It's interesting, whenever it comes to Apple, the average HNer is willing to go incredible lengths and suffers extreme cognitive dissonance in order to defend practices they would blast other manufacturers for.

Yes, I saw the CPU usage icon in the taskbar fill more than usual and instantly enabled the "Stats for Nerds" overlay and the codec was shown there.

I never denigrated Firefox as a product. It still performs adequately for many users and the source code model is a bit more friendly to FOSS distributions compared to Chrome. I called Mozilla an irrelevant vendor due to their disconnected

fwiw I've been starting to get HEVC streams from time to time on Windows desktop Chrome when watching Youtube.

Should've thought about that before implementing h264 support in Firefox, back in the days where Mozilla was still a relevant vendor in the browser market. At this point in time, such articles seem hypocritical.

x264 is an h264/AVC encoder that uses the CPU to extract maximum quality for a given bitrate. It does not support any fixed-function hardware on GPUs and the like since that goes contrary to its goals (gpu-accelerated encodes tend to

Geekbench is a bit of a bogus benchmark. I really doubt that the Rockchip board would have even quarter the actual performance on "real" programs (e.g. x264, imagemagick, povray etc.)

Seems like my decision to migrate off Firefox was the right one.

Cloudfare engaged in censorship so they've already broken that promise.

But is there actually any scientific proof of something like this? The studies on the effects of blue light concern way different levels of luminous output.

Is there any proof that the change of color by programs like flux or built-in OS "night-light" features improves anything?

In the days of incandescents I'd pay more for a bulb that burned hotter for a higher CCT (3500k or above), even at the expense of lifetime.
