China putting china on top of the charts is expected, but it’s per capita production that makes more sense for direct comparison of countries.

In that case… Australia is the leader by a strong margin…

If you want it Per Capita, try this one with data from 2023.

Pretty different story naturally.

Their consciousness is arguable to begin with

There is a clean version available now. roughly 8.8gb.

good, a fair and sensible decision, now lets just sit and wait for the conservative media to spin this in their usual ridiculous ways

Perhaps the perfect device would be more like a folding phone, with a nice modern oled on the front but a flexible greyscale eink inside. The flexible eink already exists its just not capable of a tight enough bend to work in something the size of a galaxy fold.

Don’t know but I always liked them as an all rounder device. I think they are still using a last gen colour tech, but there are dual screen phones with lcd on one side and epaper on the other that are a nifty middle ground.

I don’t think colour eink is quite there though. The kaleido tech has enough speed to be usable, but poor colour and much greyer whites than carta greyscale due to the colour being a translucent pigment layer over the top of a greyscale screen. Eink gallery could be used but currently is much slower to do a full colour draw, too slow for a phone or tablet. Eink spectra 6 looks incredible but is also too slow for anything but signage.

There was one group showing off a prototype transparent OLED layer over a greyscale eink backing which sounds like the best of all worlds, so we will see what that amounts to.

Yes indeed, and google get less money. however there are some signs that companies are starting to crack down on that.

good date for a bunch of racist fucks and conspiracy theorists to rant at the general public.

as far as I can tell, but since they don’t actually say that it’s either due to a patent on transflective tech (transflexive some branded it) or because it doesnt do as much as that technology did, from the examples i’ve seen of the larger tablets being used in the sun it doesn’t look anywhere near as bright and clear as a good E-ink tablet like a Boox, but in low light or night it looks better but the power usage is significantly higher.

Just a tip for those of you that do cave to pressure and go with the paid premium option. or already have one but dont want to pay for more accounts or a family account.

You can set up channels or brand accounts as sub-accounts on a premium subscription and they will act like separate accounts with the advantages of premium, so if you have a large family and don’t want to pay for the full family subscription (which only has 5 slots anyway) you can set up a few sub-accounts that each get their own subscriptions, recommendations, settings and all have the premium features.

So if you want to make a premium account for a parent or child, you can do that with one single subscription if you can take the caveat of them being brand accounts rather than fully their own thing.

This works on things like Android TV or Google TV, but you need to log into the main account then switch to a sub account in the app, however, there is no authentication to switch between channel accounts this way, so it’s really only useable for families only. I use this at home to run 4 separate nvidia shield youtube apps with their own subscriptions and recommendations on one single premium payment.

I expect they will change how that works in the future to remove the loophole, probably by charging for channel accounts or having it locked behind some kind of overpriced professional usage tier, but for now, it might be a good option for some.

the advantage of a traditional LCD display with backlight is high refresh rate, low pixel response times and full colour, so you can watch video on it an scroll around dragging pictures without smear or blur. these require constant power to keep the image on screen. LED just means the image is lit with LED light, this is how pretty much all LCDs work these days. it used to be there were CFL and LED LCDS, early LCD displays were lit with high voltage fluorescent tubes before LEDs became cheap enough and bright enough to be the better option.

E-Ink on the other hand moves physical pigment particles around in an oil to form an image that works by reflecting ambient light, just like print on paper, no power is wasted on bright LEDs to make it viewable in a lit room or daylight, a small light is used for low light viewing. They are perfectly readable in direct sunlight and once the image is formed it requires zero power to maintain and can stay viewable almost indefinitely, so they are extremely power efficient when used properly. their disadvantage is they take a measureable amount of time to form the image so video or smooth scrolling are not possible and they are mostly greyscale.

It’s an IPS LCD with a matte glass display and a slightly reflective base layer for improved sunlight view ability with less backlight power required. similar to the “transflexive” displays that were popular some years ago.

no, this is just a more sunlight readable backlit LCD with some colour filtering and processing to appear more paper like.

it requires constant power unlike e-ink and the only way they can claim it saves power is because it requires less backlight brightness to be sunlight viewable.

Again TCL misrepresenting their NXTPaper display. At least they’ve stopped actually calling it “full colour epaper” which was an outright lie and moved to “paper-like” which is wrong but legally they can get away with that.

These are IPS LCDs, with standard backlighting. they have a highly matte surface and a semi-reflective layer for improved daylight viewing. they are not E-ink or E-Paper or any of those fully reflective technologies.

The NXTpaper displays are standard LCDs with a highly matte coating and some processing and colour rendering modes to simulate paper, I think they have some transflexive film to make them more sunlight viewable, but still have a backlight.

They are not e-paper, or e-ink, nor are they a fully reflective display.

I dont use Tdarr because of its lack of more complex rules, but I do use fileflows to re-encode old videos on my server based on some rules considering its overall filesize, current format, and which library it is in. If the flow decides the file should be encoded it is converted to h265 10bit at a high bitrate, if it somehow ends up bigger than the original it does it again with a higher reduction factor.

currently, they don’t, but the mobile operating systems do heavily cache applications in ram and those applications are getting pretty heavy, so instead of accessing bulk storage every time you launch an app, they are pretty much all sleeping in a low-cpu state with most of their content pre-loaded into ram.

Makes them snappier to switch apps and such, particularly with image or video heavy apps that want to be able to preload pages and pages of content to mindlessly scroll through while the internet connection loads more in the background.

Windows and MacOS has started doing a bit more of this, but still gets by with less ram as you tend to have a more powerful CPU and faster storage to not worry about an extra fraction of a second to switch between apps, but 0.5 seconds to switch apps on a phone can feel slow because we humans are simple dumb creatures with zero patience.

I fully expect to see this post removed soon, just like all the others that TRY to talk about moderation. Hell I was banned once for talking about a post being removed in a thread on another community on a separate instance.

I can understand pointless or irrelevant comments being removed from Daystrom, sure, but regular posts talking about character analysis or being critical of something are wrongly removed in my opinion.

I lusted after the top end Clies with the OLED screens. I had a T665C Clie, a Treo650, and countless pocket PC models including the HTC ultimate (Imate JasJar technically) and several others before android and the Iphone came around.
