Bluetooth keyboards and mice are annoying when you have multiple devices. I have a 2.4 GHz USB dongle for mine that's plugged in to my Thunderbolt Display. Then whichever of my couple of laptops or my desktop is connected to the display gets the mouse and keyboard.

Are you saying that you need a special USB-C port to plug in a USB-A cable + USB-C adapter to use a USB 2 device?

But somebody did anticipate it! If you read to the very end, it turns out that Norwegian vehicles donâ(TM)t have this problem. It turns out that this is a story about cheap crap dressed up as anti-EV FUD

Oregon isn't a red state overall. Almost all states, whether red, blue, or purple, allow felons to vote at some point.

The menace in London are people who drive Chelsea tractors. Oversized vehicles whose owners think theyâ(TM)re too good for the TfL. We need to take a leaf out of Paris' book and increase the charges for congestion and emissions, especially in zones 1 and 2, and perhaps even 3 (letâ(TM)s say everything inside and including the north and south circulars.). Cycling is the only sane way to get around this area. Driving isnâ(TM)t an activity that scales and weâ(TM)ve sacrificed enough on that experiment.

Democrats sure don't. They want them to vote and everything.

The following red states allow felons to vote after completing their sentences (carceral sentences in some cases, or complete sentences and fines in others):

Alaska, Arkansas, Florida (1), Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa (2), Kansas, Kentucky (3), Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia.

That's the overwhelming majority of them. A couple of them have exceptions for certain crimes like rape and murder, but for the rest, if you can finish your sentence, you can probably vote.

(1) Sort of -- the state government has intentionally made a mess of the initiative that passed 65-35.

(2) While the Iowa constitution bars felons from voting unless they have applied to the governor to have voting rights reinstated, Gov. Reynolds (a Republican) has a standing executive order automatically reinstating voting rights of felons upon completing their sentences unless they were convicted of murder.

(3) Similar to (2), except that Gov. Beshear's executive order applies only to those convicted of non-violent offenses.

I often term such people "Campaigners for Kicks". People addicted to the hit of winning a campaign for change, regardless of whether that change was good or not.

MKV can contain MP4

Are you mixing up MP4, the ubiquitous file format (container, like MKV) with MPEG-4 video, the outdated codec that preceded AVC? DivX popularised MPEG-4 video in MKV a long time ago, but they tried to move on to AVC and HEVC, also a long time ago now.

Davinci Resolve is wierd, it still can't do AAC on Linux. The last post in this thread was July this year: https://forum.blackmagicdesign...

It's free or cheap because Black Magic are a hardware company. They're not interested in feature parity on all platforms. In fact they're not interested in any codecs and formats that cost them money, hence MainConcept's plugins.

That added that quietly, didn't they? Partial support started in April this year, years after the other browsers.

If what you said were true, online video services would use MKV, they can't afford to waste so much moneyÂon a streams that are 140% bigger. But that's not true is it? HLS and MPEG-DASH and CMAF are all based on MP4/base ISO media format (fragmented MP4 to be precise). It wouldn't be in their commercial interests to use such an inefficient format.

I never said it was a codec. It is a file format that offers better compression. That's why a 1920 x 1080 video in an .mkv container is smaller that the same video in .mp4 format

That's simply not true. MP4 and MKV are containers with low overload, unlike MPEG-2 TS where the container overhead can add up to 8-10%, especially for low bitrate audio and video.

Containers have nothing to with how much video is compressed. While MKV can have compressed headers, this makes little difference unless you're dealing with video that is either low resolution or was compressed so much that it has a very poor quality. MP4 does not have 700MB of overhead compared with MKV, and if you're finding that the file sizes are that different, it means the video has been compressed significantly more in the MKV by the video encoder, not the muxer (multiplexer). Or maybe one has used a different codec, such AV1 vs. AVC. Demux your streams and then see what the size of the elemental video streams are if you want proof.

Yes, I work at a codec company. And no, I haven't seen MKV for years, it's a format popular with certain online communities like the DivX crowd or pirates (often the same people).

This might not be such a good idea as Vegas was begging Canada to come back. Their tourism isnâ(TM)t what it used to be and talk of 51st state has turned off Canadian tourism.

That amounts to more than 100 million pounds of added sugar (358 million kilograms)

Errr, what? 1lb = 0.454 kg (1 kg = 2.2 lbs). 100 million pounds is 45 million kilograms!

What makes them too small? Surely theyâ(TM)re not smaller not the mini-roundabouts in the UK, which are no more than a white disc painted in the middle of the intersection (you can drive over them).
