I agree with all of your points here. I also noticed that the iOS notifications got an "upgrade" recently with photo previews and user avatar icons now being present in the notifications.

On the note of mobile, I do know plenty of people I talk to on Discord with Android devices dislike the native Android to React Native update which slowed down Discord to the point where people risk bans by modding the older native Android client to continue working with modern Android.


They are trying to get off or have gotten off their kernel fork called "Prodkernel" for some time now.

And ProdKernel generally lags mainstream by only a few years, as can be seen in the things you linked to.

The change being talked here is moving from merge ~2 years to merge all the time. Saying they're stuck on something from 1999 is ridiculous.


I can definitely agree on this point. Same for the newer Taiko versions utilizing a 120 Hz panel as well.

High refresh rate displays have been gaining a lot of traction in the past few years with 1080p or 1440p displays running at 120 or 144 Hz being affordable.


That is a capture card and not an encoder card. It does not feature any accelerated encoding and relies on the host system to provide the video encoding, usually via a dedicated or integrated GPU.


Apparently, there is a digital video output project for the RP2040 already out there [0]! As for why digital video is more rare, it is because the common digital video formats are higher bandwidth and require higher signal integrity.

ffmpeg can copy streams without transcoding. For example: ffmpeg -i input.m4a -c:a copy input.mp4


In this case both mp4 and m4a (which are the same thing) use AAC. So no transcoding, but mp3 is not. So in the case of mp4 > mp3 it need a complete re-encoding of the audio.


You can! If you do C-r again, then it will show the next command in your history for the given search.


The "cosmetic restrictions" are the "Activate Windows" watermark and the inability to change any setting under Personalization in Settings.


The best part being if you don't allow it to get online during the initial setup you can go change all the personalization settings. It will only lock you out once you get online and it verifies its not activated. I can deal with just having that watermark when I only boot into win10 for a few specific programs.


It's also pretty straightforward to emulate a KMS server and activate Windows that way. Technically against the EULA, I'm sure, but Microsoft doesn't seem very motivated to do anything about it (certainly not for individual users).


Photon is developed/managed by VMWare.

I’m aware, that doesn’t mean they have any direct input into mariner, they’re an upstream that mariner pulls a couple of things from, as well as fedora and others.

It also explains nothing about comment that “all doc is written by azure VMware”.

Azure is a cloud computing service. VMware is a software company owned by Dell. That would be like saying “all doc is written by AWS redhat”.


Did you actually?


Green account, no other comments; almost certainly not.
