Maybe they have better things to do. The first time I visited San Francisco, I went to cross a street that was blocked off, after looking both ways. The light happened to be red, but there could be zero legal intersecting traffic. Even so, a nearby cop bellowed at me "Do you know what a red light is?!?" I returned to my starting point until the light changed.

Comment Re:Not that much better than VP9 (Score 1) 46

Last time I tried the svt-av1 encoder in ffmpeg, it still didn't pass captions/subtitles through like libx264/libx265 do. Getting those into the final encoding are a requirement for me, and I don't like having to do several extra steps to make that happen.

Also, only one of my three Roku units supports AV1 playback, so I haven't bothered for that reason. libx265 at defaults looks worse than libx264, so everything I've transcoded for archiving is with libx264.

My high school had a computer room in 1981.

The computer was an Altair 8800b with time-sharing BASIC, multiple terminals, both glass and Teletype.

You're on my lawn.

(I was using computers since 1977, mainly a friend's PET, and was finally able to afford my own in 1980, a used TRS-80 Model I.)
