  • Creative labs made shit audio chips, at least post isa, they never figured out pci at all. Haven’t forgiven them for killing aureal either.

    Turtle beach was quality, but overpriced and they completely focused on the pro market after a while, ignoring gaming.

    Realtek makes garbage, I always bypass it with a good USB DAC (fiio usually) because the mobo manufacturers always route lines so it buzzed when the GPU started using power.

    You are right that they killed the market, but only for people who don’t care, and you can pick up a banging used mellanox for cheap that gives you excellent sriov.











  • Vvc is h266, the spec is ready it’s just not in a lot of hardware, or even decent software yet, that often takes a few years. The reference implementation encodes at like 1fps or less, but reference software is usually slow as hell in favor of correctness and code comprehension.

    Av1 isn’t much better than hevc (h265), it’s just open and patent free and Google is pushing it like crazy.

    It has iirc 1 major feature over hevc, non-square subpictures, beyond that it has some extensions for animation and slideshows basically.








  • I went to high school in the south, I’m not white.

    The hate is not something you can process, the worst we see online, the Andrew tates, the people calling for all brown people to be deported to El Salvador, that’s Disney compared to them.

    Becauae it was all they had, and the hate infused them down to the cells, such that it was all they had keeping them going.

    Trump took the lid off, let them feel more comfortable talking in public.

    But these are people who casually discuss how the only way to heal the world is to exterminate all the Muslims and jews, how we should nuke China now because we can, and how atheists and anybody more left than Trump needs to be castrated now for the good of America.

    To people shocked at the toxicity, I think you grew up in far more sheltered places.


  • Jesus christ, it’s like you read the headline and desperately wanted to provide supporting evidence.

    Next time? Just for like 1 second?

    Imagine that other people don’t give a shit about you blasting your toxicity at the world. Maybe the world would actually be a better place if assholes like you shut up some times.

    BTW, this has absolutely nothing to do with trans rights, this is just you personally acting like every other .ml out there.


  • Microsoft has 1 massive disadvantage when it tries to enter new markets.

    It has to deal with brutal cutthroat competition from its worst enemy: Microsoft.

    Ms internal politics destroy almost all its successes, their politics are why theyve never really been a threat, for every skype there’s a teams which cuts them off at the knees lest it cost a division head their chance at a promotion.
