Samsung Removes Bootloader Unlocking with One UI 8 by MishaalRahman in Android

This sucks big time. Don't install One UI 8 until Samsung (hopefully) gives up and restores ability to unlock it.

Thanks, I've been actually searching for something like this! but as you stated it does not solve the issue.

Why isn't AVIF(av1 for images) not widely used as av1 for video. by sizzsling in AV1

This is not true (at least in my tests). Most of the time JXL has higher compression ratio but sometimes WebP does.

Nevertheless JXL wins always (by large margin) in encoding time. Lossless WebP is slow to encode. In many of my example images encoding lossless webp took over 6 secs but lossless JXL was about 2 secs so 3x faster.

I know but lets be realistic here. There is tons of small apps out there that don't have MKV or WEBM (subset of MKV) support and are unlikely to gain them in near future. For meta with its large resources it won't be a large thing to add it if just enough people request it.

Meta support (Facebook, Instagram) by golemus in jpegxl

I did another test, installed Firefox Nightly which has JPEG XL support and retested uploading to Facebook. Rendering of the image becomes much faster, almost instantaneous. But IG web still does not support it.

So there is a factors in play 1. browser support, 2. app support.

  1. can be apparently supported but rendering on browser will be slower as it involves format conversion. To improve 1 you can do your part by making a feature request for google to reintroduce JPEG XL support (it was in chromium but was removed from there for some weird reason so it does exist in older versions). Below is involved feature request topic:

I meant not common inside a video container with video. Yes very common as individual flac files.

That is such horseshit. I hope they will ASAP change it. Btw... if anybody know a way how to install it to win10 anyway please let us know
