You’re going to need blue team to be willing to pivot and actually address issues and to do so in a such a manner as to interest red team…

You’re right, they’ll never go for it.

Suddenly, I miss the old days of Android. I suppose it’s back to CyanogenMod or whatever it is these days

Sure there is… stop using Facebook.

Regulatory capture seems about on par for Google these days. I suppose I’ll be switching back to OnePlus for Android devices; that’ll be about it for Google stuff in my home.

“Most” seems to be doing some incredibly generous work here.

Like about how that… doesn’t actually change anything that was said?

Right, so anyone adopting such a “buy for a month and binge watch” strategy can still pay ~75% more and not receive a ~75% increase in value.

Nothing is changed.

Well, when the price increases by ~75% and the value does not increase by ~75%, this sentiment isn’t exactly surprising.

Yeah I can almost guarantee that the original plan was always for him to leave. He was going to be the scapegoat with a golden parachute, allowing the company to keep the unpopular changes while disbursing the bad publicity. It’s exactly what he did with EA too.

I hadn’t considered that… fair point. Pay someone handsomely to take the immense PR hit and move on.

You’re not wrong; I suppose my criticism is as much of that practice as it is of this individual specifically.

My only complaint is such maneuvers tend to come with golden parachutes - his mismanagement of Unity leading to the whole fee debacle and erosion of trust deserves no such soft landing.

I consider the privilege of choice in taste of one’s preferred stimulant to be one of the few small joys to late stage capitalism.

Username checks out.

That’s fair - it seems to depend on if you’re using the Windows 11 consumer version or the current enterprise version.

Yes. It will allow Firefox to use any graphics processing available which is incredibly more efficient for video workloads.

Even shitty onboard Intel Iris and similar handle video workloads that much more efficiently.

Not to be flippant, but you could have just stopped at Microsoft Teams running like ass as the problem is Microsoft Teams and its bloated, over-ambitious nature running in fucking Edge via WebView.

Specific to your case, you seem to be referring to a video call - is Firefox using hardware acceleration? I seem to recall each video feed is its own transcode/render process so if that’s entirely on CPU, it could definitely wreck your performance.

I’ll have to look into it - thanks for the suggestion.

Poor Splunk - such a useful tool does not deserve the upcoming enshittification.
