are a distorted facsimile of reality.

That is good news and definitely an improvement in efficiency. However many older and less powerful CPU's have able to software decode high bitrate 1080p single-tile AV1 encoded videos for a long time. AV1 hardware decoding for SoC types is very useful though like for example Fire TV Stick 4K Max has hardware AV1 decoding. If it didn't have AV1 hardware decoding support this device couldn't do playback of AV1.

Hardware based encoders are great for live-streaming things but are terrible at producing high quality VOD items that I want on my home NAS. Even the better versions of these like ARC and NVENC fall significantly short of what good software encoders can achieve for VOD content.

Asking me to believe that is like asking me to believe they'd harvest corpses from an apartheid they themselves created.

No I did not mean that. We lived for 300,000+ years as hunter gathers in often lush ecosystems better than anything left today. I have no desire to maintain our current level of technology. I'd rather be in nature than in front of a screen.

To me they are one and the same. All our technology isn't unnatural or artificial. It is the natural process of a species who had previously evolved highly complex means of vocalization and communication. This changed our brains to be able to think abstractly. The ability led to things like writing, humor, math, science and art. Even our feats like the Moon landing are natural in my book. Those are natural artifacts of the Maximum Power Principle in our search for more energy and resources. We are bound at least to this point by MPP as all our fellow organisms are. First species to violate MPP becomes the first intelligent species on the planet.

Indeed I can't even begin to fathom the logic of the comment parent.

Yet no proof.

You mean in the regard that virtually all emissions "savings" that might have occurred here were simply off-shored? Yes indeed this article is 100% BS.

Everyone was on deck? Really? What a claim.

Yeah exactly. Our system isn't broken by design, we just are not punitive enough!

It's the other other way around. If the Logo was going to be modeled on the Death Star, then the Death Star must exist first by my reckoning.

Who there? O timeOday what is the most infamous bug in this history of OSS?

I assume that is a good faith question and not attempted poo-pooing gone embarrassingly bad. Think about it. What does DNS do?
