May be, but by not solving the problem, they become part of the problem, even if they aren't part of HDMI cartel directly. So it's their fault too problems like above happen.

That's a catch 22 / circular argument that can always be used to excuse inaction, but it's not a real argument. Yes, it's a long term problem to solve and has many moving parts. But if they don't solve their part, t

For now, but that doesn't stop them from nudging things in the direction where HDMI will become obsolete by doing their part. I.e. it's not an instant thing, but each step in that direction helps and they can make a pretty signifi

Anti competitive "standard business practices" should be counteracted with good enough competition law that forbids them. As simple as that. So I totally agree with the above comment. They simply shouldn't be able to prevent

That doesn't explain why they wouldn't want to get rid of HDMI to avoid paying patent fees for it. Adding USB 4 / DP to their TVs is a major step in that direction.

I'd assume if they aren't part of HDMI cartel as the above post suggests, they are paying patent fees for this garbage. And they are in a good position to unblock this situation by increasing adoption of patent free alternatives,

So why can't Samsung and LG do more do improve this mess and put USB 4 / DisplayPort in all their TVs?
218.
by shmerl 11mo ago
HDMI forum is a frontend for the cartel that profits from HDMI patents. Everyone should use USB 4 / DisplayPort instead and HDMI should go into the dustbin of history, but TV industry is slowing things down due this cartel.

Yeah, good point. I meant HEIC (image codec), not the container.
220.
by shmerl 11mo ago
Cameras should start using AVIF. HEIF is completely DOA for anything, same as H.265 is.

by shmerl 11mo ago
Browser adoption happens way faster than sites adoption (as current AVIF itself clearly demonstrates), so same container does matter to reduce contention on sites adoption side. I.e. once browser adoption happens you'll be able to us

Way wider browser adoption, potential to evolve together with AV#, since it's using a container format, so it shouldn't be limited to AV1 base. I.e. sites just need to adopt AVIF, and I expect then seamless ability to start using

The title sounded worse than it is.

by shmerl 11mo ago
> AV1 is also the foundation for the image format AVIF, which is deployed across browsers and provides excellent compression for still and animated images I wish adoption was better. When will Wikipedia support AVIF?

Also you can just use Linux, Dell / HP have no control over the actual GPU for that, I think they just disabled it in Windows level. Linux has no gatekeepers for that and you can use your GPU as you want. But this just indicates that H

by shmerl 11mo ago
When even H.265 is being dropped by the likes of Dell, adoption of H.266 will be even worse making it basically DOA for anything promising. It's plagued by the same problems H.265 is.

Qualcomm seems to be lagging behind and doesn't have AV1 decoder except in high end SoCs.

It is good, but if you didn't use it in forever, you won't actually know if it is.

And that only created a problem by making the impact of that rift worse. So we don't need even more of such effects. Ubuntu tried going there with Mir, but luckily they figured out it was a really bad idea in time.

You clearly didn't use Linux any time recently.

by shmerl 11mo ago
No, thanks. That's the worst Android did, creating their own incompatible thing. We don't need another NIH like that.

Nice, I'll look into it, thanks!

You can't run a proper VM there though, something like a normal distro with systemd, KDE Wayland session and etc. At least from what I've figured out so far. Basically I need a normal full featured VM, not some gimped variant and

Good, but mass adoption is a lot slower in sites than in browsers it seems. It's like pulling teeth making sites to actually support even AVIF which is already widely supported in browsers. A ton of inertia even on sites like GitHub an

What's a good way to have Linux VM with graphics acceleration on Windows host? WSL doesn't cut it and VirtualBox has really broken graphics support.

Improve your server AI to catch weird behavior. Client side approach with this malware idea is simply unacceptable.

Client side anti cheats is a lazy excuse why they don't want to spend on server side anti cheats anyway.
