The German translation I got automatically reads like a fever dream. Grammatically it often makes no sense and even worse, some things are translated literally. Doc is now "Dok", but no one would ever shorten it like that. The da Vinci quote is shortened to one sentence, and now makes no sense at all.
I know translating is hard, but it's kind of unsettling here.
I myself saw "Road House" on Thursday, 4K stream. A lot of dark scenes, perfect for OLED. But also very vulnerable to bitrate related quality problems. And it was fine.
But other examples, like the first season of "Reacher", look like shit in 4K. Many artifacts resulting in skintones that get pushed into green or red. Super weird.
Good encoding comes a long way, and not all services go the extra mile.
I mean, I totally get your side, but DVD is 1/24 the resolution of 4K and actual 4K with HDR on an OLED is simply another dimension of immersion for me.
It might be exaggerated, and the Apple Silicon MacBooks still fall behind as soon as gaming or other GPU-centered tasks come up.
But having a super thin laptop that does 4K Video editing and has an really good battery life doing it, is amazing.
What they can do with 30W from the wall is simply amazing. Not even talking about the Pro/Max Chips that can decode and encode several ProRes Streams at once.
But again, some people don't just edit hi res video.
I love my shield TV Pro, but I might `adb shell pm uninstall` the shit out of it, so I can launch my apps in peace.
The Update that replaces the old launcher was the biggest middle finger I ever saw. And it's a 200€+ device. This isn't your average 20€ Amazon Fire crap.
It's always using a VM so I am guessing Rosetta is involved and a x86 emulation ist happening. (Again, this is a guess!)
If docker is a priority, Asahi Linux might be a great option, but this will of course create new problems, as it's far from done, and switching to Linux is a project on its own.
I for myself use a Debian ARM64 VM in UTM to have the most control over the VM and then just use docker in there. Works much better than I anticipated.
The thing is: it is not locking in. At the moment through SMS and it will support RCS next year.
And RCS will solve it all. If group chats and high quality media work, people will only complain about the one thing they hate most:
The bubbles will still be green.
But I am from Europe, we don't care around here and I don't like iMessage that much. Compared to Telegram/Whatsapp, it's slow at loading old messages, has sync issues and only gut swipe to reply this year.
