If playing with Chromecast types multicast or streaming one frame at a time manually worked pretty good.

I have already started hacking at a proof of concept… let’s see how fun it turns out to be.

One thing this article does point to indirectly is sometimes, simple scales, and complex fails.

PNGs likely perform great, existing enterprise network filters, browser controls, etc, might not, even with how old PNGs are now.

It might be possible to buffer and queue jpegs for playback as well to help with weird broken stall outs.

Video players used to call it buffering, and resolving it was called buffering issues.

Players today can keep an eye on network quality while playing too, which is neat.


There are other ways to make server-sent events work.

I try to remember many environments once likely supported Flash.


At the same time, enterprise is where the revenue is.

Against all odds, you're right, that's where somehow revenue is being generated. IT idiocy notwithstanding.

Often, enterprises create moats and then profit from them.

It's not usually IT idiocy, that usually comes from higher up cosplaying their inner tech visionaries.


It's not corporate IT's fault, it's usually corporate leaderships fault who often cosplay leading technology and not understanding it.

Wherever Tech is a first class citizen and seat at the corporate table, it can be different.


Sometimes they have checkboxes to tick in some compliance document and they must run the software that let them tick those checkboxes, no exceptions, because those compliances allow the company to be on the market. Regulatory captures, etc.

Believe me, the average Fortune 500 CEO does not know or care what “SSL MITM” is, or whether passwords should contain symbols and be changed monthly, or what the difference is between ‘VPN’ and ‘Zero Trust’.

They delegate that stuff. To the corporate IT department.


But they also say "Here, this is Sarah your auditor. Answer these questions and resolve the findings." - every year

It's all CyberSecurity insurance compliance that in many cases deviates from security best practices.


This is where the problems come from. Auditors are definitely what ultimately causes IT departments to make dumb decisions.

For example, we got dinged on an audit because instead of using RSA4096, we used ed25519. I kid you not, their main complaint was there wasn't enough bits which meant it wasn't secure.

Auditors are snake oil salesman.


This is 100% it- the auditor is confirming the system is configured to a set of requirements, and those requirements are rarely in lockstep with actual best practices.

This article is just saying more laptops will have power efficient GPUs in it. A bit better than 3D TVs.

They might not use Apple silicon often. Other options are encouraging.


It wouldn't be unheard of.

Qualcomm before they made all the chips they do today, ran a pretty popular and successful email client called Eudora.

Doing one thing well can lead to doing bigger things well.

More realistically, if the top end chips go towards the most demanding work, there might be more than enough lower grade silicon that can easily keep the gaming world going.

Plus, gamers rarely stop thinking in terms of gaming, and those insights helped develop GPUs into what they are today, and may have some more light to shine in the future. Where we see gaming and AI coming together, whether it's in completely and actually immersive worlds, etc, is pretty interesting.

Update: Adding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eudora_(email_client)


Mac Eudora was the best email client ever. If it had got UTF8 support I'd probably still be running it in an emulator.

I just learned today that there has been some efforts underway: https://hermes.cx/

I had completely forgotten about the existence of Eudora. Thanks friend, that lead me down a mental rabbit hole.

Glad you enjoyed. Steve Wozniaks review of audits was fun to read.

This must be referring mostly to windows, or non-Apple laptops
