   A USB 2.0 device can use up to 480Mbps and MJPEG is on the order of 10s of Mbps (estimated), so I don't think you're anywhere near needing to worry about bandwidth. Your biggest complication will be real-time re-encoding and compo

   Would it be fair to say that the conclusions were that "large scale processing blocks have similar connection complexity across mammals, regardless of brain size?" -- obviously including that the complexity and/or function of

   Plex has puzzled me for a while - why such limited hardware support for HW transcoding? Is this some sort of paid partnership they have with Intel/nVidia?

   Thank you for this info. I think I might!

   Oh wow. I think I still have my legit retail CD kicking around somewhere. Had no idea it was still maintained. Can I still use that CD? IIRC it had some pretty wild DRM on it for the time and it took forever to crack.

    Interesting discoveries. Perhaps some of the multi-port features on registers were for some of the REP features (ie: REP STOSB/MOVSB which updated multiple register) or some of the more generic instruction like PUSH/POP?

    Underpaid, unappreciated by many, overcrowed in classrooms, forced to pay for their own supplies. Not really surprising -- I would not last long in that situation when you add in life-threatening. Education needs a massive reform.

    I would consider it. I specifically use Android because I have the freedom to install whatever kind of app I like. In my case I've had to sideload Netflix because it won't run on a device with an unlocked bootloader (annoying). Th

    Lightning added chips that weren't necessary IMO. You don't need smart control over the low voltages/power that go over a lightning cable. Lightning chips were likely more about control. USB-C _does_ require e-marked cables i

    Here's a picture illustrating this. Also note that the data contacts can fatigue as well! https://i0.wp.com/blog.adriel.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2019/...

    MiniUSB was horrible for this. The ports would lose the ability to grip cables and there was nothing to do other than replace the entire device. [edited s/micro/mini]

    I'm curious to hear more on this. I have a number of USB-C devices and have never seen breakage on the internal port (only fluff buildup). I had a Macbook where the power cord got stepped on, the cable head turned 45º or so and continu

    The USB-C bit is more like a PCB with a shell around it. There's only a small amount of moving metal in the shell, reducing the amount of possible fatigue in the expensive part of the equation. USB-C is sort of like "inverted ligh

    First of all, Apple was a contributing member to the USB-C group. [1] Second of all, it is reversible (?) It's inferior to USB-C in at least two ways: 1. The part that wears out is inside the phone in Lightning and inside the cable in

    This might be a good opportunity to lead to research on a "good faith watermark" for GAN-compressed images that may include hallucinated details.
