maybe some day such websites will autodetect a slow connection properly and we can use 10base2 as a workaround :-P

Gmail got more annoying. It used to remember the "Simple HTML version" option, nowadays it doesn't, so you have to be quick enough to click on the link...

how is everyone

how ironic: an Anti-Chrome button... on a Google formagt

--format

As bad as Google dictating "standards" is, at least they're actually open royalty-free codecs.

It's better than Apple trying to stuff the Web full of HEIC and HEVC.

it's still a Google "standard", tho

the only problem with HEIC/HEVC are the MPEG-LA patent cartel, which is irrelevant outside 'murica and/or the EU

(the MPEG-LA *still* believes they have rights over any media compression/encoding format ever made, even those NOT created by its members!)

remind me, is MPEG-LA part of SCO?

dunno

I guess their lawyers play golf on the same courses

I am ok with png but webp is something no one needs.

I still find a quite ridiculous idea to repurpose video codecs and containers for delivering still pictures

I don't mind borrowing specific algorithms and ideas, but lifting codecs wholesale to deliver still images is not only overkill, it's also a waste of resources

what worries me is how some of these recently introduced formats require much more processing power, at least for encoding, but I think some also for decoding

the idea here is "you can always bundle silicon for that on your device"

AKA Apple's Sekret Sauce™

which makes sense for new designs, except on cost reasons

and of course you end giving the finger to anyone using "old" computers and phones

and of course you're also banking on the idea the format is now the killer format and that it won't be replaced

[insert xkcd here]

xkcd.com/927 if you insist~

but yeah, the push against not-new-enough hardware seems to be more pervasive these days

maybe they should have called USB C "nano USB"?

Part of the reason the ARMacs are speedy is not due to its highly efficient ARM cores, but because Apple has filled up their silicon with dedicated coprocessors, DSPs and HW codecs for a lot of stuff

otherwise USB is losing to SIM card and its form factors!

which again makes sense for portables and cellphones, not for ordinary PCs

njsg: didn't you got the memo? The future is "virtual USB", of course"

app-defined USB ports!

physical SIMs are for boomers!

the newest iPhone is CDMA, er, eSIM-only in USA

tomman they are speedy because ram is on die. Bad move.

frg_Away: actually it's on package, but that's a move that make sense for cellphones and ultraportables (and hey, cellphones have been doing PoP since... well, forever?)

for full-fat laptops and desktops? Not so much

of course people justify shaving a few nanoseconds on latency as the reason of giving up memory expansions of any kind

Socketed CPUs are already a thing of the past on laptops, sadly

(Intel last did those on Haswell, IIRC)

and intel processors and chipsets had also been showing up a lot in memory-limited laptops, I think

although it was fun to find one which actually had the memory CS line wired, even if all existing documentation said it was limited to the lower amount of memory...

"chipset" on Intel land these days basically means "USB, SATA, HD Audio and LPC interfaces"

GMCH (memory and graphics) have been on-package since Nehalem, and on-die since Sandy Bridge

and dunno if Atoms fully went the SoC way

ah, ok, this is why I was thinking it was actually the processor, ok

the newer one then had the limitation involving the processor, meanwhile I do have an older one which has a chipset limitation

on AMD is basically the same, if not earlier (memory controllers have been on-die since Hammer/K8)

hello

I have an Error with page loading

name and shame!

what site is today?

it's about Web Host manager script

WHM

it show only few options....script dosn't work properly

it's one of those web hosting control panels?

yes

what errors do give out the web console?

a lot of error

post them

customElements are not defined

oh joy, Google WebComponents™

for that one you may be able to workaround that with github.com/martok/palefill

but you will need to edit the addon to add a rule for each affected site (which involves unpacking the XPI and editing the ruleset)

any other error? (Most of them should be fallout from the customElements one, but there might be more Chromeisms present)

martok/palefill #48 yay, it got fixed~!

Palefill dev just pushed version 1.22 of his addon yesterday, now it works again out of the box on SM, and brings yet more fixes for the latest Chromeisms at Giggityhub

FF's "Library" window is resizable, "drag able", but look what happens if you do it, heh.

impossible, that's not pure white!!

now honestly, that should work, shouldn't it? what happened, one more element between the library UI and the window, some resize code failed?

i'm thinking the UI is one of them dumb boxes - which is the entirely of FF these days, like any of the about: "dialogs", simply overlaid ontop of a window. so the window itself resizes, but the dialog is fixed.

cya

oh, & the FF window itself /just happened/ to be behind the Library window (in my screenshot)

tomman you are right. I thought I saw a photo with an explanation when the M1 pro was released with indicate on die ram but seems only the memory controllers are on die. But the tight integration is what makes then so fast. Memory bandwith is incredible compared to standard setups. But also means they will be all dead in a few years when ram cells or one of the components develops a fault.

therube they should have kept xul for chrome and extensions needing ui access but doing a "me too is Chrome" is all what was wanted.
