That is going the wrong direction. Why would anyone want to take a nice video, increase the file size tenfold, and reduce it to 256 colours? That makes no sense.
I've always hated the recent resurgence of this antiquated, terrible image format, but this is a new low. Fuck you Reddit for continuing to spread this garbage.
Only available for proprietary operating systems. Git repository has NO tags, branches, or releases. It makes me think this developer doesn't know what the fuck he's doing. I would certainly not recommend this to anyone, ever.
How can this seriously still be a thing in 2017? I don't get it. What the hell is wrong with Windows users that they have accepted anything less for SO LONG? If your OS can't keep up with technology from 14 BLOODY YEARS AGO, get a better OS!
There is absolutely no excuse for this. It just makes me despise Windows users that much more for being complete idiots—at least the technically-minded ones who know better.
Are these cards shipping with proper open source drivers, or is it just the same, old story of shitty, proprietary, binary blobs? Gamers are the worst when it comes to defending software Freedom, sadly. I don't have high hopes for either company. I'll still be going with Intel for all my graphics needs until one of them finally steps up.
Just because *you* don't understand it doesn't mean the behaviour doesn't exist and nee to be accommodated. I currently have 693 tabs open in this Firefox profile. I've only got 50 open in Chromium. Do I use them all all the time? No, of course not, but decent browsers like Firefox ensure that only the tabs you're actually using are loaded at any one time. Sure, it would be great if I was magically organized and efficient with maintaining my tabs, but typically I just don't have time for that. I could never imagine using such a garbage, proprietary browser without icons to identify tabs. Reading the text titles takes much longer, particularly when you operate entirely from the keyboard with a VIM-extension instead of dragging your mouse around and clicking on everything like a typical Apple fanboy.
Oh, using tabs "correctly" requires using the mouse to drag the drag the right edge of the tab to the left? You're right, I guess I've been wrong this entire time, since that makes no fucking sense at all, and would be a huge pain to do for ever single tab. And who needs to be able to actually see the title, am I right?
So, let me get this straight. A user of a proprietary browser is unhappy about a basic feature that has been missing for the past 15 years, yet he CONTINUES to use said piece of shit proprietary browser all this time? Really? If you're not happy with the product, STOP using it. It couldn't get any simpler. The fact that their is not one, but TWO vastly superior, open-source browsers out there should be a clue that you're on the losing team. John Gruber is an idiot.
So it's able to harvest enough power from radio signals to power the phone *in real time*? Including the screen?
I could understand a technology like this being used to *charge* phones, passively, but they would still require a battery. What happens if you momentarily enter a shielded area that radio waves cannot penetrate? Your phone just instantly dies? That would be terrible.
I *really* hope this is just marketing idiocy, and there is, in fact, a battery incorporated into the design of these devices.
Once we've eliminated idiot human drivers, cars will no longer need to pull over for emergency vehicles, unless it's a single-lane road. They will simply talk to each other and coordinate priority access. They will be able to clear a space in real-time, like a bubble surrounding the emergency vehicle.
In the meantime, if emergency vehicles aren't already transmitting some kind of signal that can be picked up by autonomous vehicles, that would make me worried. They certainly shouldn't be relying on visual feedback.
Hopefully soon all signage will be eliminated entirely, forcing vehicles to rely on standardised digital data provided by local authorities. There will simply be no reason for any driving-related signs to exist. They are unreliable and expensive to maintain. Only signs for pedestrians and bikers should remain in designated areas.
In these situations, obviously the workers would need to be using a transmitter to broadcast updated road speed information in a standardised format to all vehicles. Isn't this just common sense?
Why are self-driving cars reading signs in the first place? Seriously, don't we have all of this information available digitally? It makes no sense for them to even be attempting to read the signs. If the car needs to travel into an area where we don't have digital information available, it should require manual control. This is just silly.
This makes me so angry, I'm having a difficult time putting it into words. In case Daniel Rich and the other assholes at TuNur are unaware, the Sahara is NOT in Europe! The audacity of these people is astounding. There is an entire continent, large swaths of which struggle with lack of access to electricity, and these pieces of shit are talking about using THEIR land to power a completely different continent? FUCK THAT. These people need to be driven out of business. Hopefully the residents of Northern Africa will wisen up and seize control of the facility. There is absolutely no reason privileged Europeans should have access to this power source until the people who actually live on that land are taken care of.
Don't blame other people because you or your company was idiotic enough to buy shitty hardware. Learn your lesson and move on. Don't drag everyone else down with you.
That's nonsense. It is still opt-in. All you need to do is compile the packages yourself. It's reall not complicated. Why should Debian choose to allow insecure software that they are responsible for releasing security patches for? That makes no sense at all. "Authoritarian asshole?" Really? What have you contributed to the community lately?

Wow, you really live in a shithole. That's sad.
Pay just $10/month, and then you can spend $10 each day at any grocery store!
Sounds like a solid business model to me.

Today I learned that Google is apparently a domain registrar as well.
Heh, thank you for posting exactly what I intended to when I read this article, even including the "Uh." These people are quite clueless.
"two instances of battery-operated spinners catching on fire and another incident in which a fidget spinner melted"
Neither of these things is the same as "exploding." Neither of the linked pages refer to "exploding" in any way. Is BeauHD simply illiterate?

If you're using sites that still require fucking *plugins* in 2017 then blame the site, not the browser!
Thanks, grandpa. Tell us the story of what the web was like back in your day again, pretty please?

This comment just gets funnier every time the next idiot posts it.
That is effectively equivalent to removing SSL entirely. I'm sure glad I don't have someone like you in charge of my internal security.

How clever of you to insert this crap into yet another thread. You're changing the world ,man!
