But the answer may not lie in promoting severance from alcohol/facebook.
Like Elrant, I believe there should be a middle ground people try to reach. Not everyone may be able to reach it by themselves but education should be put before a more extreme solution such as cutting people from alcohol/facebook in my opinion. It is not efficient to tell a alcoholic to drink less but it is efficient to educate people around you about the dangers alcohol can pause.
Also people maybe should realize that vp8 and vp9 are not entirely based on free patents. Instead, Google pays companies to use their patents and distribute the related technologies freely.
hevc (h.265) has specialized hardware which encodes or decodes much faster than other GPU solutions. I believe typical graphic cards come with hardware codecs within them but I am not sure.
Regarding why hevc isn't so easy to use with GPU, it comes from the way video compression is done. In video compression, you don't really process each pixel one by one independently. Instead, you consider blocks of pixels and you look for similar ones in other pictures. So it is not much about having many similar small tasks but really one big one. Besides, to minimize the information to send (i.e. to compress better), the compression of each block is based on what the left and top blocks have done. If I compress all my blocks in parallel, I will not be able to make them use each other's information.
Does this help you see the big picture?
Hi there. I made the mistake of paying and playing this game on a smartphone and it is my duty to prevent you from making the same mistake. The controls are absolutely horrible but the worst is really that your phone needs to be connected to the internet in order to play this game. So if you were planning to play this on the plane then you can already give up with this dream.
