  • M500@lemmy.mltoMemes@lemmy.mlOS Installation

    On LTT there was a race and the person who chose to install Linux had a huge head start as the install only took a few minutes. While Linus took forever to install windows.

    I forget the outcome of the video, but I wish he would show more support for Linux on his channel.

    This is me and my dad so much.

    Last year he was complaining about how the owner of the company he works for is retiring and giving the company to his son who doesn’t know anything about the business.

    We talked about how the workers could all own a portion of the company and run it themselves.

    He agreed that’s how it should work.

    But socialism is bad… 🤦‍♂️


  • I think its really cool, its just a step closer to have just one device for everything.

    I’d love to fold it up and use it as a phone. Unfold it and use it as a tablet when I’m just browsing the web and then connect it to a man role or keyboard and mouse and use it as my “laptop” or desktop.

    I have a steam deck for gaming, I don’t really need an entire separate computer for work.

    But a device like this should offer a full desktop experience and not some locked down mobile thing.










  • Video is tougher as it changes every few years. Once a new standard is out there is also a little lag before there is hardware decoding. Additionally the video codec and extension are different things. I’m going to talk about codecs as I think it’s more important than file type.

    Hardware decoding is important especially for mobile devices and software decoding will run the processor and eat up your battery.

    For video, right now, the technically best format I think is AV1. If I’m not mistaken it’s open source or at least doesn’t have royalties.

    Images are kind of the same story, but browser support is the issue.

    I think jpegxl is supported to be pretty great, but Google is trying to push their own standard which I believe is technically inferior in some ways. Because of that Google had support for jpegxl in chrome and then they removed it from chrome.
