YouTube should not be able to put ads on content they make available for you?

Tell me, in your world, who pays for the low latency, high bandwidth, high availability streaming platform you consume video on?

You can legally download some of the games for free.

Of course it's possible recycle aluminum covered in grease. It has to be cleaned before recycling though. Incineration is often used for getting rid of the plastic layer in soda cans and it's possible to use the same method for fat too.

You can set the camera to store the pictures as JPEG. I am happy with JPEG for my holiday photos. Just check that you have the best quality setting since JPEG uses lossy compression.

While HEIF is not the doomsday thing some describes it as, it currently is somewhat problematic.

There are for example problems, originating in differences in implementation between different hardware vendors, with 10-bit and HDR.

I replied to a statement about Heif being an Apple image format. It is not.

Furthermore, HEIF is something that most major mobile device vendors support. Some, like Samsung, even sets it as default on some of their devices. So the whole "Apple always supporting not open standards" is just tiresome at this point.

99.999% of all Android users are defacto locked in by Google. Yes, Android might be open but Play services are not. Google works hard to lock in Android users.

At least Apple are open and honest about locking in iOS users.

What device/ Operating System are you trying to watch the images on?

[–] mindlight@lemm.ee 20 points 11 months ago (3 children)

No.

It's a container for image data developed by Moving Picture Experts Group ("MPEG", try to guess what else they have created).

While there are some compatibility issues between vendors HEIC still offers a greater set of features as compared to fx JFIF (you probably know it as JPEG/JPG.

Apple was one of the early adopters (2017) and (as usual?) the industry has followed. Microsoft wants money for the codec in Windows and that's probably one of the reasons why it's not commonly used...yet.

Does Bcachefs come with any guarantees regarding my wife's wellbeing?

If not, I'm definitively sticking with my OpenZFS.
