Everything? It's a Hyper-V virtual machine hence how it can run Android's Linux kernel & HALs. It's not doing ARM emulation as well, but it's still an emulator at heart.

Are you not using an x86 emulator or something? Forget to install or enable your CPU virtualization extensions? Because the emulator ain't sluggish, and if it is you'd get that same sluggishness with WSA since it's largely th

WebGPU can't fill any need that GL, DirectX, or Vulkan can't. WebGPU isn't a native GPU API, but an abstraction over existing ones. As such its feature set is only ever at best comparable, but in practice will always be worse

They aren't, they're outsourcing pricing to a 3rd party knowing that the same 3rd party is doing everyone else's pricing decisions as well.

No, you don't want that. You want your windowing system & UI/graphics layers working in display native range (see eg, Apple's EDR). The consistency of appearance of the SDR range is too important to leave it up to unknown

They ship with hardware jpeg decoders because they ship with hardware jpeg encoders for camera capture latency reasons and it turns out you can basically just run that hardware in reverse. The SoCs aren't investing more than a token

by kllrnohj 3y ago
For things where you actually care about lossless you probably also don't care about HDR. HDR is (or can be) good for video & photography, but it's absolutely ass for UI. Besides, you can just throw a gainmap approach at it if

preshaping before the 3d lut, such as with a 1d lut, is a common way to handle hdr tone mapping as well. See for example https://gpuopen.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/GdcVdrLottes....

Not really, this is just the downside of using larger, more capable CPUs is that they have higher power consumption. It's the same problem Apple has as well, it's not like it's a Qualcomm-specific problem.

A sufficiently advanced user can still install something like LADB or shizuku or even a custom rom. This is extremely unnecessary to be a bundled OS permission.

But with the same "resolution" such that you can't fit any more content on it and with much worse density. Why would I actually want that? You've been able to do this for decades by hooking a TV up to your laptop and whi

While the resolution is high, the PPD is very low (pixels per degree of vision). It's lower density than a classic monitor, and nowhere close to a modern high density 4k or retina display. Also your eyes can't really focus the sam

WebGPU came from Apple, hence why it looks a lot more like Metal and refused to use pre-existing standards like SPIR-V.
