I don't know anything about this new one they're talking about, but here is a comparison between h.264 (the current industry standard) and h.265.

The short version: Basically the same quality but half the file size, but it takes much longer to encode.

Do you have a time machine? They are $2.49 each now, or $1.89 if you're lucky. And smaller than before so you need two of them to equal an old one.

Who even needs an "ultimate guide" to basic ass Subway sandwiches? They aren't complicated.

Me and my brother went the other day, got two number ones (which is three hard tacos) one regular, one supreme. 18$. And they were basically devoid of fillings. The taco was 80% empty, just a thin layer of stuff at the very bottom. I will never go there again. It was a full on assault of low quality and overpricing for low quality. I have never been so insulted by fast food in my entire life.

I went to the reddit taco bell page and found this: https://old.reddit.com/r/tacobell/comments/1aexdaq/what_3_and_change_gets_you_in_this_economy/

This is actually generous compared to the tacos I got.

Also all three shells were broken like the one in this picture.

Most of the US military is mostly made up of conservatives

That's a generous interpretation of the word most. Among active duty plus veterans the US military is 34% Republican. If you take out veterans it's only 26%.

and red states are the only ones with some semblance of a manufacturing base

Straight up ridiculous nonsense.

California is not only top for manufacturing, but grows half the food in the country.

I dont think a hypothetical civil war will turn out as well as blue staters think.

It's not going to happen, not even in your wildest, most traitorous fever dreams.

Right? Instead of bricking the printer they can make their software secure. But we all know the reality is they want to punish anyone who dares to buy third party ink which is why they ignore vulnerabilities, and probably created them in the first place. Just a sad state of affairs. Part of me wants to believe consumers and even corporations will rebel against this obvious BS, but they'll probably make bank.

What harm are they saying these "hackable" cartridges can even do? Brick the printers? So they are preemptively bricking the printers because... the hackers might... brick the printers? Makes sense! I expect better from corpo technobabble. This is just idiotic.

If they are selling their printers at a small loss because they want to make money on selling ink that's basically fine. Sell the ink, make money. If they want to overcharge for the ink people will look elsewhere. If they have to DRM the printers to force people to buy their ink then that's just fucked up.

And consumers not being able to choose which ink they purchase makes HP printers a bad investment. It goes both ways. It was nice of them to admit what lengths they'll go to to force us to use their proprietary ink cartridges though.

This man has no friends, because if he did they would pull him aside and suggest a barber to him.
