It still is, but it's not as recommended over MPV but I'm not as familiar with what it decodes and renders wrong in comparison, but it is still suggested over VLC in Anime circles.

Chromium based browsers have non-google sync. Vivaldi implements their own encrypted sync service and I believe Brave does as well.

But I am talking about browser feature support, not stuff that can supplemented with an extension like a password manager.

Firefox has poor support for modern web features including video processing and encoding which makes it very bad at web conferencing/video calls or in-page streaming.

Firefox's developer tools and console is also much worse and missing important features.

Other features Firefox is missing or has poor support for compared to Chromium are WebGPU, WebTransport, Periodic Background Sync, and parts of WebRTC. Plus various APIs for web serial, badging, and Web Share are missing partial or full support.

Firefox still doesn't have functional HDR for images and videos including AV1.

IDK where you have been for the last decade, but Firefox has not been the better option since Chromium was made

Disliking Google Chrome proper is one thing, but Chromium is superior in every way. Rendering, features, speed, memory management

Smaller PT sites usually allow it

Bigger PT sites with strict rules do not allow it yet and are actively discussing/debating it.Netflix Web-DLs being AV1 is definitely pushing that. The codec has to be a select-able option during upload.

The first game was good. This one is not. I don’t understand how a big game like this could have you just walking around doing nearly nothing for several hours straight. Every puzzle and lock solution is basically on a sticky note next to it in game removing the minimum challenge the game presents. Movies are more engaging.

As for the story, it’s just Alan Wake 1 retold but louder and in your face about it.

We use ZFS on every server we deploy

We typically use Proxmox. It’s a convenient node host setup and usually has a very up to date zfs and it’s stable

I just wouldn’t use the Proxmox web ui for zfs configuration. It doesn’t have up to date options. Always configure zfs on the cli

No, that is called reverse causality. The type of people likely to drink artificial sweeteners most are those that are overweight, obese, or have diabetes. There is no insulin response from artificial sweeteners. And as an amateur bodybuilder, I utilize a lot of artificial sweeteners daily to curb my cravings while eating rice, chicken, and turkey to help me cut.

Sweeteners won’t make someone overeating stop overeating. But they can be used to lower overall caloric energy intake and reduce cravings as a tool.

I switched to Jellyfin from Plex cause of it being open source and having AMD/VA-API transcoding support

I’ve enjoyed it a but more cause I feel like I can do more on the server end. I recently started to use Infuse on my Apple TV for it cause turns out that Swiftfin, still in development, doesn’t have a license for Dolby Audio formats.

But the development cycle for Jellyfin and the clients looks healthy, unlike Plex which seems to have stagnated. The next gen Jellyfin Web UI (Jellyfin Vue) is looking good too

Jellyfin is also pretty forgiving about my file names but I am meticulous at making sure the structure and filenames are correct before dumping anything new to the library to the point where I have a complex script to process movie and tv show filenames and folders. You can also override the metadata with the Identify function on the media page context menu.

I disagree. The market ready for disruption was the CPU market stagnated by Intel. It was also the perfect opportunity to put the limited financial resources behind to come out with a viable product to compete that didn't need a ton of software ecosystem to work. Datacenters, gamers, Cloud hyperscalers, Supercomputers, they all needed something to replace their aging and inefficient Intel Skylake Xeons and Core CPUs. And their chiplet tech made it possible to make this CPU product span the entire portfolio for cheap.

If they decided to compete with GPU, they would have just lost in gaming GPU sales to NVIDIA due to mindshare and they wouldn't have had the resources to develop the software to compete. And datacenter GPUs were still a niche and rare product.

AI/ML was not realistically something they could predict or bet the house on 7 years ago. And just like Lisa said in the recent presentation, AI is in its early stages and will be a growing and long term business venture.

Additionally, their CPU chiplet developments were critical in producing the talent and experience that would translate to GPU chiplets that AMD is not utilizing on RDNA 3 and CDNA 3, providing a strategic advantage over NVIDIA.

They still have the time to enter it with their MI300s AND now they have the money and resources to develop their software ecosystems more.

AMD absolutely made the right move to focus on Zen and HPC. It's not their fault that investors are blindly overhyped about AI.

AMD's greatest threat in datacenter AI hardware isn't even NVIDIA. It's the biggest tech companies producing their own AI hardware (Google, Meta, Tesla, Amazon) effectively and eventually eliminating the need for AMD or NVIDIA GPU/AI hardware.

The cost of nuclear today has more to do with the fact that we aren’t building nuclear plants. There are minimum companies with small operations making nuclear reactor technologies for just maintenance of existing ones and military contracts. If we were building new nuclear plants with modern reactors, the costs wouldn’t be a big deal anymore because the production of them would have scaled better.

But instead we’re spending tens of billions on windmills and solar panels that won’t last 15 years or operate well in many regions, including Germany and especially south Germany. This is why Germany is now reliant on France’s nuclear power to handle the majority of its power needs and the citizens are paying massive premiums for it. Not the government.

So maybe we should ignore the pesky cost issue cause we certainly ignored the financial and economic cost consequences of solar and wind.

LTT reviewed the Framework laptop before Linus decided to invest into the company.

While I'm happy enough with using Standard Notes for free, $15/mo for the first paid version is way too much for the extra features. I get that it adds a simple spreadsheet function and 2FA stuff, but some of that is not what I want a notes app for. If they want to make a productivity suite, go ahead, but I can't justify that jump to make my notes for checklists and markdown when all I wanted was a good notes app.

On top of that the macOS app doesn't work right for like over a year now and it's still not fixed despite updates every few days.

I'm already paying for Bitwarden Enterprise for personal/SMB use and I could just use that for my Encrypted notes instead. But while I use macOS and iPhone mostly, I still use a Linux workstation daily and I can't use iCloud Notes on that, so I may just use Nextcloud for my non-sensitive notes. I already use it for To-Dos and Calendars.
