Many such cases
  • Streaming on Linux
  • Ah I did some more research and what I said only applies to the older Elgato devices. They did use h264 as the format over usb and you could use that directly without recoding. But they moved to a custom format due to delay and decoding overhead. And ofc you'd want stream ovelays and such which also requires reencoding.

  • Bow
  • Is that steel wool in the front? Probably a science demonstration. If you quickly increase pressure in the air vessel up front by shooting the bow, the temperature spikes up enough to ignite the steel wool.

  • Streaming on Linux
  • You are correct that the Elgato does video encoding. And that if you use your GPU it's putting a little bit of extra load on the GPU. But it's negligible since the video encoding is a separate part of the chip. Maybe you'll lose a percentage of FPS due to power usage snd bandwidth, but honestly the same is probably true for the CPU load caused by USB bandwidth.

    Ad free YouTube App
  • Revanced still works but it's a cat and mouse game. Sometimes it will stop working but the next day someone will have found a workaround. Bit of a hassle to patch the new APK each time.

  • Chad VLC
  • I thought it was libvlc that covers that but no, it is indeed libavcodec which is part of the ffmpeg project. Does anyone here know the relationship between libvlc and libavcodec?

  • [Hardware Unboxed] Intel CPUs Are Crashing & It's Intel's Fault: Intel Baseline Profile Benchmark
  • I've never felt silicon degradation on a CPU. But I can say that I've had a GPU with a stable overclock for years that started getting a bit flakey and I had to go back to stock settings. Of course for GPUs there are also more frequent driver updates. Maybe that effect was due to the driver and games also trying to squeeze more out of the hardware.

  • The Oppo Find X7 series is getting 5.5G support, the first in the industry
  • Has anyone here been in a situation where they thought "man, 4g sure is slow. Hope they roll out 5g soon"? I guess they need a feature to put on the box, otherwise people might think their current phone is good enough.
