- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 2 weeks ago:
Unless your computer has issues, can’t you just power off from within macOS?
- Comment on iPhone 16 is here, but I’m hyped for just one reason: RCS on iOS 18 2 months ago:
The fact that iPhones are getting this before Android phones without Google Play Services tells you all you need to know about the nature of RCS. Android has lost all of its intrigue and fun in favor of becoming GoogleOS
- Comment on JPEG is Dying - And that's a bad thing | 2kliksphilip 3 months ago:
Royalty-free blanket patent licensing is compatible with Free Software and should be considered the same as being unpatented. Even if it’s conditioned on a grant of reciprocality. It’s only when patent holders start demanding money (or worse, withholding licenses altogether) that it becomes a problem
- Comment on JPEG is Dying - And that's a bad thing | 2kliksphilip 3 months ago:
JPEG-XL is in no way patent encumbered. Neither is AVIF. I don’t know what you’re talking about
- Comment on JPEG is Dying - And that's a bad thing | 2kliksphilip 3 months ago:
No, there aren’t any licensing issues with JPEG-XL.
- Comment on Las Vegas' dystopia-sphere, powered by 150 Nvidia GPUs and drawing up to 28,000,000 watts, is both a testament to the hubris of humanity and an admittedly impressive technical feat | PC Gamer 4 months ago:
We need more nuclear power ASAP
- Comment on Are we <INSERT_TECHNOLOGY_NAME> yet? 4 months ago:
Throughout the entire OS. Image CDNs are adopting JXL on some scale - Cloudinary reportedly ships billions of JXL images regularly
- Comment on Samsung does an Apple with its first Snapdragon X Elite laptop, suggesting the new Arm-based Windows machines aren't going to be a cheap alternative to x86 8 months ago:
Unless something changed, I believe Apple is using LPDDR5 since the M2. tomshardware.com/…/apple-introduces-m2-processor-…
- Comment on Samsung does an Apple with its first Snapdragon X Elite laptop, suggesting the new Arm-based Windows machines aren't going to be a cheap alternative to x86 8 months ago:
I think these ARM chips are more expensive than we realize! Apple’s egregiously high upgrade pricing on MacBooks sucks, and 8gb of RAM by default on the base model sucks as well, but it is likely to raise the average sale price of devices equipped with their chips. This has been known for some time, I feel.
I’ll cut Samsung some slack since we don’t know the unit cost of the Snapdragon chips, and they aren’t likely to sell out of these devices right away even with competitive pricing because of the state of Windows on ARM. I’m excited to see how Linux support pans out on the next generation of non-Apple ARM notebooks, though; I think this is a chance for some manufacturers to take Linux more seriously, as Linux on ARM is actually not a terrible experience.
