Good. Antisocial behavior is rampant. The trend probably predates it, but 2020 seemed to be an inflection point.

No. Only through virtualization.

Yeah I think no mission then of ARM Windows running well on this

Very true, but content creation used to mean 720i. Doing high quality compression of 4K with the latest codecs is still a beast.

I bought an 16e last week with the same chipset, just tested and it handles realtime recording of 4k at 60fps with HEVC (camera is "48mp" so the source is 8k camera source material).

Pretty sure most of the encoding/decoding of video is handled with special circuits these days.

Now, add enough layers and it'll probably falter, but with dedicated encoding/decoding circuits combined with a modern GPU it will definetly be a usable experience with some lower res quick pre-renders at worst but probably realtime for most content creator usages.


Content creation also used to mean writing novels by hand and stitching pixel art. You can do basically anything imaginable before 2010 in terms of creation (which is... basically anything worth mentioning?) before running into video as the bottleneck. Probably closer to 2020.

The first professional commercial 4K camera came out over 23 years ago, and the first smartphones and camcorders capable of 4K video were back in 2013.

The Macbook Neo has a 2.5x higher multi-core Geekbench score compared to the i7-4960X's, the top consumer CPU of 2013 (which could handle 4K video editing in h264), and its single-core performance is 5x higher. Plus, I'm 99% sure the MacBook Neo has a dedicated video decoding ASIC anyway.


Works fine in Chrome. Is Firefox somehow better?

When using Chrome I get stuck in an endless CAPTCHA loop. Could be an individual problem though, so I've removed the hint.

Black text on a gray background is how the web was intended to be experienced.

The number of PowerPoint and slide presentations I sat through with sans serif white and yellow text on a dark purple background still gives me nightmares. For my presentation I went black over medium-light grey. The audience sighed with relief.

Blue hyperlinks. Purple hyperlinks after you had clicked them. Images with the blue hyperlink border. Tables with Extra Chonky borders. Row and Col span. Guestbooks.

Don't forget page view counters, web rings, "Under Construction", and "Best Viewed with Internet Explorer".

What? No it wasn't. First browser

Oh, no. It had a visible scrollbar. And clearly delimited UI elements. And everything square. And readable text. How primitive. /s

I'd be so down for a black and white modern interface like this. I know the attempts ... they aren't like this. (I've got a next)

Why should I trust that "Norn Labs" knows what is and is not a phishing site?

Impressive! I believe round trip latency would be 0.5 seconds.

That's ~162.5 MB in transit at any time


There's a patent (2017/0280211 A1) for using this as a data storage method, and there was a company called Lyteloop trying to leverage the idea for data storage with estimations for petabytes across constellation.

That could you used like RAM like the delay-line memory used by early computers!

Shouldn't it be 1000/16 = 62.5? Impressive nonetheless, of course!

The article says 2.6 gigabits/second which is 2,600,000,000 bits/second, 2,600,000,000b/s * 0.5s / 8 is 162,500,000 bytes, 162,500,000 / 1,000,000 is 162.5 megabytes

Right, thanks

Weird.
