It should be based on the app size, so maybe developers will stop shipping apps with a single feature and one button that takes 700 MB because of random bloated third-party SDKs that aren't even used.

Money makers on the AppStore are games, and games need assets in high definition. Third party SDKs are probably a drop in the bucket in comparison with visual assets.

They need locale-based app bundles to make that realistic then. If I need to support every locale I can, I need to bundle the frameworks necessary.

All I read about is that it's less hardware friendly than H.264 and HEVC, and they were all complaining about it. AV2 should be better in this regard.

Where did you read that it was designed to make creating an hardware decoder easier?

> AV2 should be better in this regard

Will it, though ?

Why create a SW spec and hope that the HW will support it ? Why not design together with HW ?

It was a presentation on AV1 before it was released. I'll see if I can find it but I'm not holding my breath. It's mostly coming from my own recollection.

Ok, I don't think I'll find it. I think I'm mostly just regurgitating what I remember watching at one of the research symposiums. IDK which one it was unfortunately [1]

I've heard that same anecdote before, that hardware decoding was front of mind. Doesn't mean that you (we) are right, but at least if you're hallucinating it's not just you.

I assume there is a reason for leaving out Windows Me.

From the article:

> Note: I am skipping Windows Millennium Edition (Me) because while it had changes under the hood, visually it is pretty much Windows 98 Third Edition.

I remember it had a default black bar with a gradient and bold yellow text for the title.

Found a video of it: https://youtu.be/nVZW8i9-92U

We don't talk about Windows Me.

web.whatsapp.com is still going to use more RAM than the old native version.

The macOS app is the iOS app running on macOS thanks to Catalyst, hopefully they won't replace it with that Electron/WebViewOfTheDay crap.

Nowadays it's all AppKit/UIKit/SwiftUI. It's no longer a webview.

DVD-Video subtitles are often only bitmaps, and the AppleTV can handle only text subtitles. HandBrake can't OCR bitmaps at the moment.

But there is already a "1-button magicbrake" mode, or maybe two buttons:

1. Open a file; 2. Click the start button in the toolbar.

Paralles x86_64 emulation doesn't depend on Rosetta.

Yup, just right in the upper half of the page there is a big search box and an "sort by" popup button.

The main page has the search box & sort by: https://www.macsourceports.com/

The Games page does not: https://www.macsourceports.com/games

I don’t see that on mobile. Just a list of games and a pager at the bottom that goes on for miles…

Yeah, I don't know why I've never added that, but you can filter games on the main page not the /games page.
