Only in some of the most recent and high-end. I think Apple just added one to the iphone within the last year. Qualcomm wasn’t much quicker. There’s a lot of perfectly good phones out there that don’t have AV1 hardware decoders.

It seems more concerning that YT is apparently forcing AV1 when there’s no hardware decoder for it (if I’m reading that thread right). Seems like that will make people think their battery is starting to go — better software decoder or not.
Sounds like it’s something Apple could easily kill by changing something in the protocol that would require it to be re-reverse engineered.
This is the type of processor companies want in things like VM servers that host large numbers of VMs.
GPU processing units are really good at only specific kinds of computation. These are still all-around processors.
Non-competes aren’t a thing in California. OpenAI obviously own the IP, but that doesn’t mean an investor like MS wouldn’t have enough rights to effectively take it and build from it.
Altman and Brockman were the founding leadership of the company/organization and many of these employees are “rockstar” researchers. They wanted to be a part of what they were leading — so it makes sense they still would even if it’s under Microsoft.
Because Dems don’t have the majority. Jeffries was often the top vote getter during the speaker voting in January, though, since the Republican coalition is fracturing, much like now. Plurality doesn’t get you the speaker’s gavel, though.
I’m a little disappointed to not see AV1 decoding mentioned, since Broadcom has had one for years now.
Yeah, I suppose the reputational harm from the announcement in the first place is going to set them back quite a bit, regardless. I suppose that’s why things like this are supposed to be reviewed before they get announced.
If they had just made it a 2.5% revenue share for the high-revenue games in the first place, I doubt even many game news outlets would’ve covered it, let alone “real” news. Now, after the massive dustup and pissing off all their customers, falling back to that may be a bit more difficult.
It’s still pretty relevant. Some of the biggest indie hits of the last several years used it (Stardew Valley, Celeste, Supergiant games pre-Hades).
MonoGame has the advantage of being used to ship a number of indie hits, though. Supergiant still uses an in-house fork of it for their games, if I’m not mistaken (ed. I guess they rewrote their engine for Hades).
I’ve honestly been surprised that Godot’s getting a lot of hype out of this. I had expected MonoGame/XNA to be the big beneficiary – particularly for Unity’s 2D users, but also 3D (though I expected Unreal to benefit the most there just because of developer familiarity).
I honestly don’t think MS really wants to own Unity. Like, sure, there’s a small amount of synergy because some of their games use it, but owning Unity also means committing resources to support and improve it and competing with Unreal to an extent.
If anyone would be interested in buying Unity I’d think it’d be a Chinese corp like Tencent or NetEase or else a publisher that works with a lot of indies like Devolver or maybe Embracer.
It would practically guarantee that a Trump victory would again be without the popular vote — which he’d hate.
For now, sure. Car makers want to support the connector that has the most chargers out there. The competition won’t go away, though. Most seem to agree that CCS2 is a superior connector to both CCS1 and NACS. What it amounts to is that EV owners will just have to have adapters in their car. Tesla’s move to NACS at least makes that possible (as the connectors will at least all share a communication protocol, as far as I understand).
Already the case. Such is the “fun” of having the Imperial system in the US.
None of them have cars on the road using NACS yet , though.
A Tesla driver probably wouldn’t have any great need to see a CCS charger, just like a non-Tesla diver has little reason to go to a Tesla supercharger. They’re around, though. EA seems to like putting chargers in Sheetz and Walmart. Chargepoint is less predictable as to where you’ll find them. They do seen broken more often than they should be (usually seems to be a computer/software issue), though, I’ll give you that.
It’s more that it’s a recent change to not allow it on US models. I think only the iv and v don’t allow it.
