I have often seen there are heavy implicit bias from USA based journalists/blogs when reporting non-us based companies. More so when reporting Chinese companies. China is the second-largest economy in the world. But there is always a &

The scene releases are usually the highest quality possible released in exclusively closed private trackers - sometimes only paid accounts are accepted as a member (if at all). Everything else probably 95% you see in the wild are transcoded

H265 encoding/compression tech is the best in the world right now - unless I missed something.

by pavs 7y ago
No, it got worse. Try H265, compression artifacts are pretty bad in certain scenarios, even with high bitrate. Same with h264 - but it can be solved with high bitrate - but your file size also gets much much bigger. Which means you will nee

Last I checked, Apple is still the biggest company in the world in market cap. They are also on the very top in terms of revenue and profit.

The problem itself is difficult and the cost of making mistake is high. Thats why the progress is relatively slow. Also, at least to my opinion, its not very clear that the market is big enough. Its highly unlikely that one single company c
