   It seems that way - I read this [1] which does a high level comparison of the technologies. It does seem like BPG is patent encumbered by the underlying H265 algorithms (aka HEVC) [2] [1] https://www.zyxtech.org/2019/06

   I remember many years ago getting a random phone call from someone who claimed they were a detective investigating a case. The detective sensed my skepticism right away over the phone and suggested that I look up the phone number for his po

   My personal take: my two 27" 4K LG monitors run GREAT here. I like the extremely small vertical bezels on both of them (one is a 144Hz and the other is a 60Hz). Connectors are fine. The monitors don't move at all, so build quality

   Greg Whitten still lives in the area and brings one of his Ferraris to the Microsoft charity car show every year (last time it was a LaFerrari!). I hope that happens again this year.

   I might be a bit stranger - I swap back and forth between a Windows desktop PC and an M1 MBP with the same dual 27" 4K displays (both LG, one is a 144Hz and the other is a 60Hz panel). Eventually I'll retire the desktop PC in favo

   I wanted to comment on how useful that demo was to me. It did a great job at demonstrating why this is useful and how well it works compared to the native browser implementation. Thank you both for the demo and for the project!

    Thanks for creating Snipd! I like the Obsidian integration and the triple-tap on AirPods Pro feature to capture a snippet. I'll definitely check it out. While I would imagine this is challenging - what about Audible support? I might ju

    Thanks for the tool recommendations! While much of the content that I consume via audio is from podcasts, quite a bit is also from Audible (and arguably the more valuable as I don't read that much fiction on Audible). Is there a workfl

    That's true. But digging a bit deeper, you can find DAU in US/Canada as broken out by the most recent FB earnings report slides [1] The punchline for DAU/MAU seems to be that it has ~flatlined in US/Canada since 2019. Bu
