Ator: I'm off, to rescue my fiancee and my sister.
Bystander: Wait, you have to rescue 2 people?
Ator: No

In addition, manufacturers will make a smaller and easier to lose format.

Using a phone sounds inconvenient to me. I usually just pull my card out of my wallet, wave it over the terminal until I hear a beep and that's it. Worst case scenario, I have to insert it into the chip reader or God-forbid swipe it through the slot like some kind of Neanderthal.

I'm kidding, but seriously, that's easier than screwing around with a phone, to me.

Words just mean whatever these folks want them to mean.

I'm slightly pissed about the shrinkage, but really pissed that they don't come in packages anymore (at least not where I live). It's bad enough I have to scan my own groceries, but now I have to scan 8-12 individual eggs in a row. What's next?

The real-estate mogul, of course, suggests he’s actually worth much more — valuing his own brand at as much as $10 billion.
... “I think it’s the hottest brand in the world.”

Yeah, I mean the Ford logo was good for $23B back in 2006, but I guess 10 > 23.5. Alternative math and all.

That's why religious leaders are starting to turn on him. He's cutting in on their racket.

AMD APUs have Video Coding Engine / Unified Video Decoder, while Intel CPUs have QuickSync. FFMPEG's hardware page says that AMD support is incomplete.

You may want to ask over in !datahoarder@lemmy.ml . This topic often came up back on Reddit, and the general vibe I got was that most people prefer QuickSync. Intel may not be great in a lot of areas, but they are a beast in video encoding/decoding. That being said, I use a Ryzen APU and it's perfectly fine. There are way more important things to look at when choosing a CPU.

If your performance is slow, I would check your CPU is listed on the chart I linked above. Not all CPUs support all codecs.

Edit: If your CPU doesn't support the codec, it will still work, it just won't be accelerated.

Damn, you beat me to it. Randolph and Mortimer would be pissed to hear about this.

In the grand scheme of things, the customer may have slightly more pull than the cashier ringing up their order, but it's the CEO and the board of directors that control the narrative. That's why we're getting bigger and less fuel efficient vehicles, bigger and more fattening meal portions in restaurants, and bigger less affordable houses.

AMD, which reports earnings next Tuesday, has finally brought 3D V-Cache to mobile. ASUS' ROG Strix SCAR 17 X3D will come with Nvidia's RTX 4090 mobile GPU.

In addition to what the others have said, we've lost some big and popular instances (Vlemmy, FMHY and others) along with the communities they had. Also, with the 2 biggest (lemmy.world and lemmy.ml) coming under attack every week, some users want to be on a smaller instance that's under the radar.

Finally, people want to choose an instance that fits their interests/beliefs. I chose mine mainly for what they don't allow and who they're defederated from, but to each his own.
