Personally also think it's very smart move - Google has TPUs and will do it more efficiently than anyone else.
It also lets Apple stand by while the dust settles on who will out innovate in the AI war - they could easily enter the game on a big way much later on.
absolutely, right now they can avoid any risk but get benefits as they recollect themselves

Agreed. And I’m not going to flip my TV’s mode every time I watch a new show. I need something that does a good job on average, where I can set it and forget it.
exactly. the only adjustment I need to be making is hdmi input and volume.
amazing resource!

definitely going to pass this on to a couple friends who were just talking about vendor/sales data issues this past week.

Everything Adobe. Customer support is just a forum where 98% of the offered "fixes" for bugs in their software is "revert to previous version" or "reset your preferences". I swear everyone at that company doesn't even use their own products because for every one thing they fix, two new things break. Functionality of some things don't make sense. There is zero reason to have Media Encoder be its own separate program when it can be integrated into Premiere and AE on its own, which can repeatedly cause connection/bug issues if they're not able to sync properly (also not being up to date on newer file container types which it should offer). Which also leads into the problem of separating everything into more and more different programs to milk every cent. On top of the massive cancellation fees they try to stick to people and KEEP trying to force cloud saving onto everyone so you become reliant on keeping your sub to keep access to files. It's unfortunately become industry standard and while there are other/free options they're not as up to par on capabilities just yet for top tier level for an entire creative suite of work. Currently it's around $700/yr per user.
Shutterstock is $1500/yr per seat for level I use, with frustrating UX in search function and now you have to pay for a subscription, and then pay even MORE if you want to use anything they deem to be "highly desirable" like Amazon. Oh you have a subscription? Well to get access to what you see here you have to subscribe even more. They added AI content which is chock full of AI slop and copyright issues which clearly isn't being moderated. They also have a ton of vector files which werent checked at all because they're just JPGs saved in vector containers, making them pretty much unusable. Also suffer frequent outrages/download issues that take hours to resolve which clearly is an issue when people have deadlines.
When someone reads Lord of the Rings, they can talk about it with others who haven't. The shared cultural vocabulary emerges from discussion. But when a game fundamentally changes how you perceive systems or choices, that shift happens inside your head. You can't really show someone else.
I played Factorio for a LOT of hours many years back. For months afterward, I genuinely couldn't stop seeing bottlenecks and throughput problems everywhere. Traffic, grocery stores, my own work. It sounds silly describing it, but the perceptual shift was real. Nobody around me noticed because there was nothing external to notice.
Maybe games won't produce the next Lord of the Rings because their transformations are too personal and too hard to share?
