Many of the Spark reviews seem to go very easy on this soc. Standards have dropped

If this is correct I wonder why I was getting pushback for suggesting the lack of 120hz wasn’t a big deal.

The Shield upscaler is pretty mediocre.

One thing I really wish Apple did to justify the cost of the new Apple TV was add the option to use machine learning to upscale content like the NVIDIA Shield did way back in 2019. Apple's MetalFX framework already has support for this!

Yes. The thing holding back gaming on the Apple TV is 120hz. Excellent analysis.

Oh, also, the AppleTV doesn’t support HDMI passthrough yet again nor does it support 120Hz so that’s cool for the alleged gaming experience they always advertise. But hey, it’s got some microphones now!

Good news everybody (where everybody means the two people other than me interested in Handbrake and Apple Silicon). Handbrake dev Galad87 very kindly updated it to include the new 27 encoder option for Constant Quality encoding. github.com/HandBrake/HandBra…

libhb: implement VideoToolbox ConstantQualityFactor, VariableBitRate,… · HandBrake/HandBrake@84a2864

… and VBV options kVTCompressionPropertyKey_ConstantQualityFactor provides better visual quality on macOS 27 and later, and both support real video buffering verifier (VBV) model limits.

The Social Network is incredibly rewatchble. It’s just an outstanding film.

Lol, prevents replies after saying something silly. Consider why they RE Airdrop for Linux instead of porting Linux methods to iOS.

"non-apple users" and he has an iphone. You surprised that a person who has both an apple and non apple device wants a convenient way to transfer files from one to the other? Are you slow?

This is even worse than I thought. Hitler was a reasonable man invading nations for the lols. Having US troops in the UK means we don't have sovereignty and we should avoid war at all costs except for getting rid of illegal immigrants. MMMMKay. youtu.be/WDwKfFV8eCU

I find this trend of people saying “see country x is doing the same as country y. Therefore we are hypocrites for criticizing country y” very aggravating. No. You’re ignoring all the other shit country y does.

It’s not a double standard. It’s a standard. Supporting people fighting oppressive regimes. Comparing France and Iran and pretending there is an equivalence is stupid.

😂 Gotta love the double standard. They LOVE when rioters kill police officers and burn down businesses and places of worship when it’s in Iran. Now imagine if France’s worst enemies were caught aiding the “protests” …

Somehow the Hitler apologists and the Putin apologists tend to be the same people.

Honestly my experience with Siri AI on macOS has been disappointing. I assume it's better on iOS but my primary device is a Mac so that's not much use to me. It is constantly incapable of finding information in files which literally have the relevant detail in the name. Sigh.

One area where I feel it does well is on screen recognition. I have been able to ask it about data on screen and it makes calculations and creates tables etc. It is also pretty good at image description. One further bad point: the "advanced" dictation seems no better.

Thanks to @VadimYuryev for testing the M6 video encoding. Seems like a great performance increase.
