Ah yes, I guess they weren't *true* Scotsmen either?
In this case, I mean literally... literally. You can find citations trivially. Everyone should know this by now. If you want to talk about Nazis, you should know something about Nazis.
"Remember, Na-Zi means National SOCIALIST, and that's that fascism is."
Remember, the Nazis literally called themselves socialists to fool stupid people, and you also don't know what either socialism or fascism is if you think one is a type of the other.
He wasn't a Nazi but George Washington did a genocide and was named "Town Killer" for it. And before someone points out that was his father, no, his father (who was also named George) ALSO did a genocide and was called the same thing for the same reason.
Invisible Hand Man has had his eyes closed for 35 years.
Outlook is such an insult to humanity.
Netflix and YouTube both use AV1, which is royalty free.
You're right about YouTube. I was thinking HEVC was one of their delivery formats, but apparently not.
Netflix definitely did use HEVC for delivery of some of its high-end content at one time. Whether they still do or not, I have no idea.
Either way, the fact that people are running into error messages suggests that there is some actual customer impact.
NT existed when IBM brought out at least two major versions of OS/2 without such features while NT had them, so... No.
Smart. Instead of charging each customer an additional $0.04 per unit, or even eating those costs ($600k, in other word chump change), they use it as an excuse to upsell their product line.
Except that nobody who buys one of their machines is going to think, "I could pay an extra $100 and my machine would work better." They're going to think, "This piece of s**t can't even do things that my cell phone from eight years ago can do. Why did I buy this, and why should I ever buy anything from this manufacturer in the future?"
This level of penny-wise, pound-foolish behavior is a sure way to permanently lose customers.
Anyone who wants to do H.265 encoding
...or decoding...
will probably be looking at the higher end models anyway.
You mean like... anyone who wants to watch Netflix or YouTube or any other streaming service's high-res content?
