GPU acceleration has long been an option for transcoding video with a variety of tools, but Adobe’s GPU-accelerated encoding has been a real clusterfuck (that’s just now getting worked out for h.264; who knows what sort of problems they’ll have with h.265) so many people had to suck it up and encode on the CPU for their exports from Premiere etc. The hassle of rendering to an intermediate like ProRes in Media Encoder then transcoding that to h.264 with, say, ffmpeg often negates a significant chunk of the potential time-savings.

man everything else sure is terrible compared to ffmpeg, nvenc_hevc has been upstream for like three years
i know someone who covers sports at A Major Blog who has a clockwork system developed to edit and deliver material with ffmpeg as the backbone because timeliness was crucial and ffmpeg was significantly faster than everything else.
I’m sorry, I read this and now I want to start killing people again

I just wound up replacing the keyboard dock for my venue 11 pro instead after all the announcements this week because the battery and hinge were starting to go and it’s like, fuck it, I’ve had an 8GB + LTE + 200dpi tablet since 2014 that has barely been outclassed since then and cost me like $500 in the first place since refurbished then-windows-8 device prices fell like a stone
for the entire time I’ve had it I’ve been amazed that both the LTE and the removable keyboard and the touch interface work as well as they do under arch/gnome
I’ll get an iPad if they add a regular pointing device to the keyboard cover and extended display support or a Macbook when they switch those to ARM, whichever comes first
I will be using x86 chips from 2012 and 2013 forever

Crawl?
assumption here is that that’s when the “normal” credits start to roll (i. e. white font-color, black bg, from bottom to top), correct me if i am wrong?
yes
credits start is the end title cards, crawl is the scrolling credits
this is useful info because normal protocol is if we do anything post-show, it’s the cue for lights up/sound down

ironically, we’re showing an episode of something from Netflix on Tuesday and that’s a 4k package, which means it will probably never look as good as it does that night ever again

mehedi is great, he currently maintains the only good desktop Twitter client on Windows and arguably the only good one on Mac these days too (because it wraps Tweetdeck and injects CSS into a standalone app so it gets around all the new API limitations)
look, small independent developers like Microsoft need new streams of revenue as the money dries up from their free OS and office suites and

also by far the best cross-platform mail client these days is https://getmailspring.com/ (same deal where the only platform that even has a compelling alternative is Mac and everything else is Electron) if I haven’t pushed it here already
press the Bixby button and answer a few simple questions and it will select the right lens for you, AutoMagically!
I wonder why bixby is called bixby:
bik-su-bi would translate to three… stacks… syllables in hangul, but it always reminds me of Bubsy, and that… is not a good thing to be reminded of when we’re talking world dominance.
