What is Futo? Their website says absolutely nothing besides their "company values."
What is their business model?
Who is running it?
How do they earn money to give out?
What do they ask in return besides hoarding the trademarks?
Flat fee is always good, but I am always skeptical about these sort of completely opaque, altruistic companies that often turn into not-so-altruistic companies after they see more profit capabilities.
It ends when musk popularizes his shitty brain microchip and the engineers figure out technology to project image and sound into your head.
24/7 unmodifiable banner ads, ads while you sleep, ads related to what you see that cover your vision until you pay an extra subscription fee, then just border ads.
That is the future that musk and tech BoDs cum in their pants for.
The consumer advertising industry is a scourge of humanity. The dregs of the groveling worms.

Blows the 6950XT and 3090 out of the water in transcoding performance. I would say that is performing very well. That was before drivers have gotten much much better too probably a bigger difference now.
I have one, it is fantastic.
Someone said that it is "not terribly performent" but it doesn't matter for transcoding. It can do multiple 4k streams of AV1 & HEVC. That is perfect.
According to benchmarks, it beat the 3080 and 6800XT when it was released for transcoding performance. That is what you have to look at in this case, you aren't gaming on it.
Just remember to enable all of the correct kernel modules to get it working. You often have to manually download the firmware git repo and move it to the firmware folder in Debian to get it working.
Compatibility and storage.
Do you want only 2 devices of the 10 your family possibly owns to work?
Do you want your family to complain that jellyfin "isn't as good as Netflix/Disney+/etc.." Because it constantly stops to buffer and a can't keep up the framerate?
It is completely fine if you are single and have 1-2 devices that work with AV1 and h.265 client side and that is all you need, then you don't have to bother with transcoding at all. When you start letting other people into it, compatibility becomes an issue.
As for storing it beforehand, the entire point of AV1 and HEVC is to significantly reduce the size on disk. If you have to store 10 versions or each file, 5 resolutions each, half h.264, then you are taking up about 20x the space per file compared to 1 copy of HEVC or AV1.
A transcode GPU like the A380 or new QSV compatible CPU is MUCH cheaper than a new good quality 12TB drive lol
Sorry for the long text, it pretty much depends on the living situation.
I thought someone had gone to the waybackmachine and confirmed that it said it was optional initially and changed it when they made this decision?
The US (mostly the trending fascist party) does whatever possible to make sure the least amount of people possible get the opportunity to vote and for the people who do vote, make sure their vote does not count as much as possible. It also varies per state.
not giving out a national identification card, but then requiring an identification card to vote
voting districts with crazy borders to make absolute certain that the far right gets the most representatives possible https://www.maproomblog.com/xq/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/wapost-gerrymander-1024x687.jpg
reducing the amount of voting centers every year in areas like major cities that vote more left so that the people would have to travel an hour or more to vote and without a car, it is almost impossible
Voting is not a public holiday and many states do not allow voting by mail. Combined with the before point removes many poor people's ability to vote at all
there is a right wing effort to remove as many left leaning votors as possible from registration for minor errors
Armed party members at elections recently to intimidate voters, especially if they "look like the left demographic"
the "electoral college" which can just decide to not cast the vote that actually decides elections for the candidates that the citizens voted for
It is really batshit crazy over there. It seems like the right gets away with all of this crazy stuff and then when the left is back in power, almost nothing is done to change it back with regards to voting.
Government grants should come with government share % of the company.
Or at least with heavy requirements and obligations like every government "grant" for normals people.
Swedish city names, but only the ones with pure english characters to avoid hassel 😅
Kiruna
Halmstad
Lund
Etc...
Ah, for me moonlight just "searching for connected computers" forever with no controller buttons working at all and no ability to cancel it to put in the IP of the sunshine PC.
Moonlight on my phone works fine though, moonlight on steam link seems to just have a problem.
I just want my steam link to work on KDE Wayland.
I just get a black screen with a mouse that I can't move with a connected steam controller
This. This is a hole in the market I think.
Windows used to have a similar hidden feature that my friend used all the time to tracking his work projects, but they removed it some time ago.
This is a good idea. It could even be later expanded to a sort of "digital wellbeing" type use case with time limits or reminders on certain apps, etc...
