The cost of the PHY and the Ethernet interface would increase the price

Is the 2D X11 acceleration done via glamor using the closed source driver?

(Congrats btw!)

My team is actually in the process of de-Reacting our code base. These frameworks are full of hacks underneath the covers, and their abstractions are mostly ill-specified.

Check the ToS of their APIs. I'm somewhat certain you aren't allowed to build alternative interfaces into their content.

IANAL but I think this might be a violation of YouTube ToS

You never should but people do, and that's when there's a problem.

If you assume longs or pointers are 32 bits then it's a problem.

We get it. Theranos is finally suffering through fate it deserved in the first place. Justice is happening. Serious question, is this news or tabloid at this point?

Did you get it replaced? Seems like it should have still been under warranty after only a few months.

You don't have to use your phone. In theory you may also use a Yubikey

Can't wait to use my OpenPGP card to authenticate with websites.

Thanks for the correction. I think my core point still holds without the intrinsics but I was mistaken on that point.

Intrinsics must be used, how else is the hardware invoked?

5 minute delays are common on twitch, especially to circumvent stream snipers. Totally live video is a liability actually and I would guess most live broadcasts have a delay.

In any case, I wasn't referring to inter-frame parallelizability, I was referring to intra-frame parallelizability which doesn't require a delay.

Unlikely, I would imagine that the vast majority of intrinsics used for VP9 decoding can be used for AV1 decoding as well.

Depends on how parallelizable the encoding algorithm is.

To what extent are the set of intrinsics used for VP9/h265 decoding unreusable for AV1 decoding? My guess is that there is large amount of reusable intrinsics.
