I’ve seen it go down in some cases on VPNs, so it could be a matter of time (or they’ll find a solution again and the back and forth will just continue).

Youtube isn’t just a thing people use to waste time, but a source of educational content. That actually matters, and there isn’t a good alternative to much of it.
That being said, I agree that people could at least drop it (or reduce their usage) if they are just using it as a time waster.
The drivers for your card needs to support the required extensions, and the hardware needs to support the particular codecs as well. So if you don’t have already have encoding/decoding support for the given codec with OGL etc, this won’t add it most likely.
The main benefit is that application devs won’t need to add multiple hardware decoding/encoding APIs, and can just target Vulkan. Cross platform support in particular is currently a mess due to the different APIs on Windows/Linux/Mac, so this will simplify things greatly. Eventually, driver devs will be able to just support Vulkan too, but that’s a long way off.
I understand that trucks and SUVs are more dangerous to pedestrians due to increases in hood height and reduction in curvature (along with reduced visibility). Is this not correct?
As someone who already has a Deck, I’m more keen on this. The Index was very expensive and only had a limited run. Mind you, the Index is expensive in general and I hope they aim for Quest level prices this time around.
This is regarding the NZ government’s plan to introduce higher speed limits. Unsurprisingly, the conservative party is in power at the moment.
paperless-ngx, after having to turn my apartment upside down to find some paper documents.
The NoDerivatives part is concerning. Is he trying to prevent forks?

Perhaps he was too crazy even for them.
I’d be happy with 2010 era desktop Linux level of support. It doesn’t need to get everybody to switch, just needs to be good enough for my needs.
I only learned to touch type properly because I was bored one summer and went cold turkey and learned Colemak. Before that, I had this weird pseudo touch typing technique with some keys being touch typed and others not, and because of the muscle memory, it was difficult to change.
Batteries are likely to degrade over time, meaning you’ll eventually end up with a worthless ear bud on the left or right and the only solution will be to throw them out. These things are often pretty bad scoring on repairability metrics, and I can’t even blame the companies producing them here because they’re so small.
I’m hoping these start getting recycled for their batteries, like the EU has plans to do.
Anyway, I feel full size wireless headphones are somewhat less problematic as they have bigger batteries, and you can always fall back to wired use (in most cases). But the proprietary app concerns are definitely valid.
An e-bike might be a better option if you have many hills and are carrying a lot of weight, if not a proper e-cargo bike. But for the former you need to be careful about how adaptable it is to racks and fenders etc, since some are not great.
Userbenchmark have a long running grudge against AMD. I’m not sure why, but they therefore aren’t a trustworthy source.
The point is to harm people that have less power than you do. There’s a whole political ideology based around that idea.
A major improvement already happened in 5.2+ but few devices support it yet (LE Audio with LC3 codec).
LDAC is a very inefficient codec, and isn’t lossless even at its highest bitrate. But they are all close to perceptually lossless even at relatively low bitrates so it’s a much of muchness.
You can also connect rural towns by cycling routes. Some parts of Australia are doing this by adding cycling tracks to long-abandoned rail links (would be nice if some of these were used as rail again but that’s another story). Yes, not everyone is going to be willing and able to use these but it’s great for tourism, and even getting a small amount of people out of their cars now and then is a win.
Just add more buses in that case. This is the good kind of induced demand.
Even then, in a well designed city, there are enough viable alternatives when buses get too crowded (walking, cycling, trains, even a slightly different bus route).
And the software ecosystem, much of which they have funded/developed. In 2015, there was no proton, no DXVK, no vkd3d, and most important, no Vulkan.
