The way it's done today, a 4k stream only needs double the bit rate of FHD (because if the pixels are smaller, why not crush more details?). If you can...

[bug77]

I don't know what it does to FHD (and neither do you, so you can't proclaim it DoA). Still, by the time the codec becomes more mainstream, so will 4k...

[bug77]

What do you mean "very useful"? What is more useful for a content provider than being able to lower the bit rate without affecting quality,...

[bug77]

It's not. All content providers will be all over lowered bit rates ...

[bug77]

I only meant: unreleased hardware lacks support, it will be a while till we see the next generation....

[bug77]

We're still waiting for the answer to that one for almost half a century now. Can't be much longer, can it?



It's been suggested...

[bug77]

So... No H266 for at least a couple more years. Not surprised at all.

[bug77]

No, no, no. I mean, everybody can afford $2k for a laptop and laptops is all there is, right?...

[bug77]

Niiice. I mean, small steps and everything, we wouldn't want to mess anything up, but adding Rust to the mix is a win imho.

[bug77]

Apparently, no: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunde...#Thunderbolt_4
Still says "dual 4k"....

[bug77]

Same bandwidth as TB3 (40Gbps). You do the math ...

[bug77]

I believe this time around Intel has waived all royalties in order to speed up adoption.
But yes, I fully expect bottom of the barrel SKUs to come...

[bug77]

Ah ok. I didn't know about that. Thanks.
Not the way'd I'd make the same decision, but I have no say in what KDE does.
Also GitLab is a good...

[bug77]

Until more USB ports talk Thunderbolt, I don't think we should care too much. Sweet as Thunderbolt may be.
I give it at least 3 more years to reach...

[bug77]

Do HPC setups still use those? (I honestly don't know.)
Since they both lack tensor cores, I'm guessing they couldn't use CUDA 11's additions a...

[bug77]

I'm a Hugin guy, but nice anyway.

[bug77]

That's the kind of zealotry I'd expect from the other camp. When you talk something as critical as source control, you should use the best tool for the...

[bug77]

Sadly, Opus is not as ubiquitous as MP3 ...

[bug77]

Well, yeah, master copies are still with us for a reason. Most of us won't hear the differences you speak about though.
I've had this conversation...

[bug77]

You can't spot the MP3 in a blind test if it's encoded at 256kbps or more.
AAC beats MP3 at lower bitrates, MP3 beats AAC at compatibility......
