That is super cool that it is back! My tin foil hat theory is that from Pixel 8 onward Google outsourced photosphere Google Maps Streetview content to a third party and no longer needed that internal team’s tech anymore. There is usually some dumb business need attached to google’s android features, even if they are useful and cool.
Black hat hackers are drooling at the thought.
Egging an upcoming conservative admin to go and commit warcrimes in other countries. Classic NYT.
Didn’t the deal close in 2022?
The Peter Principle in practice. A Quibi exec is taking over for him, I shit you not.
Major props to those causing a ruckous internally there. That said, they likely fully expected a backlash and likely didn’t care. Anyone who cares can be replaced by another sycophant, at a reduced salary even.
HDCP and media production are often at odds with each other. It is broad overreach of content protection. It is super frustrating.
That’s why I added it as an addendum. Even sourcing HDMI cables without HDCP is getting very very rare.
The HDMI standard needs to declare cable bankruptcy and start over with a new port design. We all have way too many HDMI cables supporting 23 years of standards. There is nothing in the specification to clearly label, across brands, what type of hdmi specification is supported by the cable or port.
Also, the DRM baked into the specification is such bullshit.
The artist spent a lot of time on that!
This is not new, they are just more open about it and give fewer fucks who sees.
There is no more aligned class solidarity than billionaire class solidarity.
We need to become just as aligned. Billionaires shouldn’t exist.
