probably because the secrets released were much more confidential and serious than that?


Also consent.

Wait for the other person to do so willingly seems kinda good advice in many areas.


they're doing this because their market has shifted to adults and toy collectors spending large amount of money on them.


the author can't stand how it simply re-encodes videos instead of extracting the video tracks and puts them in new containers.


author mentions he paid $750 for a MacBook Air M2 with 16GB while on Amazon a M4 Air with 16GB is usually $750-800. I get it that M4/M3 aren't supported to boot Asahi yet, but still.


I really wanted this to work, and it WAS remarkably good, but palm rejection on the (ginormous) Apple trackpad didn't work at all, rendering the whole thing unusable if you ever typed anything. That was a month ago, this article is a year old. I'd love to be wrong, but I don't think this problem has been solved.


Yeah what is up with that? When I've tried to look into it I've just been met with statements that palm rejection should pretty much just work, but it absolutely doesn't and accidental inputs are so bad it's unusable without a disable/enable trackpad hotkey.


It's a year old article.


the point still stands as last year the M4 was released and was already seeing those deals especially with the M3 earlier too.


No, because the M4 Air wasn't even out until March of this year. It was only in the iPad and MBP last year.


I mean for most purposes should be very similar so makes sense the price is similar


reproduction and abortion has nothing to do with fake news tho. you're lumping groups of people into a side to justify your bigoted, selfish and ignorant views.


The same mechanisms established to fight "fake news" are reused to censor reproduction and abortion rights.


it does, depends who you ask. who will decide if it does have somethong to do with fake news or not?


Objective fact checkers?


getting "upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. reset reason: connection termination"


I searched my brave browser ai and got the same link and error.

they may have determined the decoding of av1 was too poor or that software decoding av1 wasn't a good idea.


Dell is significant in the streaming and media world?


Dell and HP are significant in the "devices" world and they just dropped the support for HEVC hardware encoding/decoding [1] to save a few cents per device. You can still pay for the Microsoft add-in that does this. It's not just streaming, your Teams background blur was handled like that.

Eventually people and companies will associate HEVC with "that thing that costs extra to work", and software developers will start targeting AV1/2 so their software performance isn't depending on whether the laptop manufacturer or user paid for the HEVC license.

On the same line, Synology dropped it on their NAS too (for their video, media etc ... Even thumbnails, they ask the sender device to generate one locally and send it, the NAS won't do it anymore for HEVC)


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 HEVC etc. is a dead end anyway.


Dell is dropping it to save 4 cents per device, so users will have to pay $1 to Microsoft per user instead. Go figure.


well they were using Unreal engine before and it was much slower as indicated. they managed to get what they wanted at 8k/60fps which was also their goal so three.js was right for them?


I'm not saying it was the wrong choice in hindsight but Three.js is not particularly fast either so I'm surprised they managed to get 8k/60 out of it.


you been in a cave for the last few years? things are bad at Intel for a while now and they need a fab customers. the deal they will likely throw at Apple to get capacity and show off their fab process doesn't suck is likely incredible.


I have not been in a cave
