webm can contain VP8, VP9 or AV1 video streams. I guess if you mean webm with VP9 inside it could be one solution, though less efficient. Also Google donated VP9 and what they had for VP10 to the development efforts of of AV1, so if AV1 is found to be infringing it’s a negative signal for VP9 too…
Edit: Sorry I was a bit off-topic. I was thinking of the action that Dolby is currently taking against Snapchat for their AV1 use.
This is what the New York Times sources reported, yes.
Short excerpt of the paywalled article:
Two of the officers targeted by Mr. Hegseth are Black and two are women on a promotion list that consisted of 29 other officers, most of whom are white men. Mr. Hegseth’s highly unusual decision to remove the officers prompted some senior military officials to question whether they were being singled out because of their race or gender, officials said.
Mr. Hegseth had been pressing Mr. Driscoll and General George for months to remove the officers from the promotion list. But Mr. Driscoll and General George refused, citing the officers’ long records of exemplary service.
Two weeks ago, General George asked Mr. Hegseth to meet with him to discuss the removal of the four officers from the one-star list, as well as the general’s view that Mr. Hegseth was interfering unnecessarily in Army personnel decisions overall, the officials said. Mr. Hegseth refused to meet with General George about the matter, they said.
Holy shit that’s low. So to get even just 8 weeks you need to have worked there for 5 years. And this from a rich company.
I work for a small company of 150 people. I’ve got 3 months of notice period in my contract, though it’s going both ways. This protection started immediately after my trial period ended, which was also 3 months long. That’s considered normal here in Switzerland for office jobs. The minimum by law after your first year of employment would be 2 months.
Just for reference, in the European context the Swiss labour laws are considered quite weak. Market liberalism is comparatively strong here.
That’s not what they said in the quote in the article.
“Per the Plan, you are eligible for Enhanced severance pay benefits of: four weeks of base salary for your first year of employment, plus one week’s salary for each additional year of employment, based on your most recent hire date, up to a combined maximum of 26 weeks of base salary.”
I remember editing the hosts file to prevent an online license check after applying a crack for Adobe back when I was a child. Seems Adobe decided it is payback time lol.
We use rack mounted LiFePO for some of our network nodes that don’t have local facility provided UPS. But I do notice Lead Acid often as I visit various small datacenters. My guess would be that Lithium is still more niche
Whoops that version was slightly out of date… by 5¾ years.
But I can now confirm it’s still in there in modern versions
Blender has a Video Editing UI mode too.
I’m not sure how it compares all I do in terms of editing is typically shortening video files. So if it’s missing features people would expect, I likely wouldn’t even know
At night.
This was neither a good attack, nor a good false flag attack. It’s just a nothing burger.
On the MacBook Neo, I can even opt to not use MacOS at all and instead install Asahi Linux if I so choose (assuming Apple continues to allow custom kernel booting as it has in M-series Macs).
The author is jumping the gun a lot there. The Asahi team recently started getting the M3 support kind of working, but still need to reverse engineer the new GPU and various other things that make them different from M1 and M2 laptops. It will be years until we get anywhere close to support of the Neo.
taxation but citizenship
Did you mean “by”?
I think this is two stories being mixed a bit here?
A bit over one month old, the lending issues: https://www.cio.com/article/4125103/oracle-may-slash-up-to-30000-jobs-to-fund-ai-data-center-expansion-as-us-banks-retreat.html
Now, confirmation of the cuts that were suspected since last year from Bloomberg: https://www.reuters.com/business/oracle-plans-thousands-job-cuts-data-center-costs-rise-bloomberg-news-reports-2026-03-05/
I’m not saying there is not a link between the events, but somehow the posted article does a weird rehash mixed with news, and is not even dated, and I don’t like that, so I’m sharing the individual news pieces as separate links for other’s benefit.
Dude I remember when you posted (for the first time?) last year sometime, and I immediately got hooked into doing like 50 stars of Hiragana training. Every few weeks since then your website has just gotten better.
The categories for confusable symbols, the picking and counterpicking modes including multiple morae sometimes, the foreign sounds, the achievements.
I’m astonished at your speed, really nice work, thank you so much!
It’s not clear whether Windows 12 will welcome any non-NPU processors. More likely, PCs that don’t meet its system requirements will lose some functionality.
They will lose some functionality, only if we accept that the slop features meet the definition of what makes a piece of functionality. They seem to not function quite a lot still.
Oh man I never realized there was a separate non-phone Motorola company that remained where it was. Thanks for the explanation.
Retroactively granting him the 2020 term, and in exchange terminating the current one would be a fine deal.
The content is hard to believe. But it seems the tweet is real. I have no idea if Mahdi Khanalizadeh usually has such insider access to information.

Haha the random occurrence of Altorf is fun.
Altdorf is the capital of our canton of Uri. Which is one of the early members of the first alliances that later became Switzerland under Napoleon. There is also a founding myth around Wilhelm Tell, not tenable with modern historical understanding, but still very popular. In that myth Altdorf is an important location too.
The interesting thing is that Altorf is an older spelling that we used to use. Now its Altdorf, literally alt + dorf, old + village, but I guess whoever brought the name to the US did so before the spelling was reformed! Cool detail.
Feels weird to work in Zürich, Switzerland and see Lake Zürich every day, and then read about a random US highschool on the outskirts of Chicago being called “Lake Zurich High School”
I thought those provisions were usually enforced among the members of a patent pool, to ensure that any licensing customer can trust in the pools word to not be shaken down a second time by an individual pool member later.
So since AM1 isn’t forming a patent pool to sell licenses, and Dolby isn’t part of the Alliance for Open Media, it wouldn’t really apply either way, no?
Oh wait, actually there is something like this, see point 1.3 here: https://aomedia.org/license/patent-license/
