The Microsoft patent doesn't apply to JXL, and in any case, Microsoft has literally already affirmed that they will not use it to go after any open codec.

You mean 30 years of listening to non-experts instead of experts. 30 years of listening to scientifically illiterate journalists who exaggerate and make stuff up to sell more papers or get more clicks, while refusing to listen to what scien

The parent commenter is incorrect. Yes, the JXL authors do want to try to use JXL as a raw format, but they are focusing on other priorities right now, so the specification for how JXL could be used as a raw format doesn't exist yet. B

Actually, lots of people were talking about it, and lots of people at big companies like Facebook were excited when Google added it behind a flag. Shopify even rolled out JXL to their storefronts not long after JXL was added to Chrome. >

You'll have to ask the person who wanted that.

Lossy WebP has some crappy limitations. For example, it's limited to 4:2:0 chroma subsampling, which makes it unsuitable for high quality images. Hell, even if you restrict yourself to 420 JPEG, JPEG still comes out as having a higher

Mate, Apple has been using HEIC for over 6 years, but they didn't add it to Safari until less than a year ago. And Apple doesn't even want you to use HEIC on the web! They added it to Safari so that app devs can use it in WebViews

> Apple also has a node advantage, which also makes their CPUs more expensive. M2 is on TSMC N5. AMD's Zen 4 mobile processors are made with TSMC N4. From die shots, I believe the P-cores in the M2 are about the same size as Zen 4 c

Here's a secret: a lot of the featurefulness of AMD's current Linux drivers is not due to AMD putting in the work, but due to Valve paying people to work on GPU drivers and related stuff. Neither AMD nor Nvidia can be bothered to

Opus hasn't caught on for music and podcasts, but is very popular in some other areas. YouTube uses Opus heavily, for example, and its the default audio codec for webm video files. It's also very popular for real time audio like i

Anything that can't supply 5V/3A is not a modern charger, that combination is mandated by USB-PD for anything that can provide 15W.

In actual real benchmarking OPi5 is about the same as RPi5.

by lonjil 3y ago
It's more energy efficient than the RPi4, so you should be fine if you're doing fine with any of their older products?

Presumably due to higher taxes on sold goods in the UK?

It may be that whatever is currently bottlenecking RPi4 production isn't relevant to RPi5.

Note that XYB JPEG isn't the only way to increase the effective bit depth of the image. Using a typical color space but using a different transfer function such as Perceptual Quantizer or Hybrid Log-Gamma has a similar effect, and this

JPEG XL is a collaboration between a team at Google Research Zurich and Cloudinary. AVIF is no small part developed by Chrome developers. Treating Google as a unified monolith doesn't make any sense. It's perfectly possible for Ch

My Sony Xperia 10 IV lets you set it to never charge above 90 or 80 %, as an alternative to it learning your habits. I have it set to 80%, and I've been unable to use it up in under 2 days. I've heard that iPhones have similarly g

An interesting difference with the WebP situation is that any app that uses Apple's codec framework on iOS/iPadOS, which is almost all apps that deal with images, will support JXL automatically. Actually, I just downloaded a JXL v

But you can already do that. AVIF animations are regular AV1 videos. There is zero end user visible difference between what the above user is proposing and what AVIF does. Allowing webm in img tags would be identical.

JXL and HEIC/HEIF support are in the changelog for Safari 17. If you download the iOS or iPadOS 17 beta, JXL will work in pretty much all apps. I agree on giving the Chrome people some space, the title here is ridiculous.

The JXL team at Google Zurich offered to take on JXL-related maintenance work in Chrome, but they were rejected.

Zink requires a fairly advanced Vulkan driver, with many complex optional extensions. A basic Vulkan driver wouldn't cut it. So getting basic OpenGL working is much less work, especially since they can share a lot of work with Mesa&#x2
