The AV1 codec has support to tell the decoder to generate fake film grain, so you can add back all the noise lost in compression. Although I don't think it's very widely used, I dunno if that's due to the compressors or decom

I've gotten to experience using RealPlayer again this year[0] and... a lot of it was just it being really early but a lot of it was just the software being really bloated with adware and terrible design decisions. It asks for your home

It's crazy how even today, VLC still can't scrub in an h264 video and even skipping around takes seconds for it to catch up while QuickTime Player (AVFoundation) can scrub around in realtime. Early QuickTime was a miracle playing

Local models will make a lot more sense once we have the scale for it, but when your user count is still small paying cents per image is a much better deal than paying for a GPU either in a data center or physically. Local models are defini

I had to look it up, Apple has been shipping code for 2+ different ISAs simultaneously, continuously since 1994 68k+PPC 1994-2007, PPC32+PPC64 2003-2008, PPC+x86 2006-2008, x86+x64 2007-2019, x64+ARM 2021-2028(announced).

Ever since the analog TV shutdown and the refarming of those low frequencies to 4G LTE, you see that 4G actually has higher coverage than 2G/3G (this both in sparsely-populated places like Australia and dense ones like Japan). And for

That high fee doesn't go into running the network though, it goes into customer rewards schemes that end up being a tax on the poor who don't qualify for them but still have to pay the fees.

QR is not ideal but as long as Apple keeps such a tight leash on NFC payments, it's the only "open" option. It's ironic that by trying to keep NFC payments so secure, they've instead caused the wide proliferation of

Motorola wanted to replace the 68000 series with their RISC design, the 88000, so it was probably always going to end there. Their customers were also all in full RISC hype fever and were looking for RISC chips to move to. In Apple's s

I have a few cheap Realtek 2.5Gbps dongles spread around my house and get 2.3 Gbps TX and 1.9 Gbps RX (running iperf3 --bidir to a LAN machine with 10 Gbps). Still beats Wi-Fi by a mile so I'm not complaining.

For comparison, I just bought a house here in Japan. Installed 6 minisplit heat pumps across various rooms in the house. All together it cost me 750,000 yen ($5,000) for the hardware and 90,000 yen ($600) for the install.
