It's CS2 not CSGO2?

I understand it is the most efficient (unless h265, which is patented, is better).
My point about YouTube is it gives Google power. They can say “we’re doing this with billions of hours of video” and people must follow. They can demand chips that encode faster. Or decode faster. Or say “No YouTube app on your custom gizmo device without VP1 support.”
They have the power to force changes in the market the way a startup or even Microsoft don’t. Those two would have to convince people the change is worth it to everyone. Google just does it, and others follow because it’s now there.
I’m basically arguing Google abused their position as opposed to Apple.
Apple is the king of abusing position with ios. No sideload app, payment must go through their 30% cut, no other browser allowed, etc..

> I don't think most end users are plugging in four monitors, cut and pasting folders, or playing 25 year old games.
Most users are not cut and pasting folders? What?
When I first used a Mac, that was one of the first major difficulties I encountered. Cut and paste was quite unnatural - you had to Copy the source item, and then press COMMAND+OPTION+V to move/paste an item rather than to copy it. It was quite unintuitive.
TIL.. There's shortcut to cut folder and I've been using OSX since mountain lion.
Not that it matter much since the first thing l do is to install 3rd party finder replacement on a fresh MacOS.

Fast, snappy, responsive. No banners or cookie prompts, doesn't ask my to sign up for a newsletter or an account to continue and see more selection, it doesn't load in megabytes of JavaScript to show me products.
Plus, responsive as all heck, and there isn't any bullshit prompts like "click here to see our selected offerings" or "check out our value products here" Like, from. The short url, I'm already looking at the products.
Meh. Not so much. First time I opened it show half screen banner to download mobile app.
And the website wasn't designed for mobile at all.
I switched to Opera recently. Got sick of finding Chrome hogging insane amounts of resources. I'm quite happy with it (built in VPN and Adblock!) I don't feel like anyone is trying to force me back to Chrome. Choice and competition are key. Chrome and Firefox did great things, but never forget that competition is the real hero.
I don't know if you're serious or not. But current Opera engine is the same as Chrome; Blink.
Maybe Chrome team should have this MemShrink meeting every once in a while. At the current state it will eat every memory available be it 8GB or 16GB system.
> Atom is free during the beta period.
Where does it say it won't be free after the beta period?
Atom won't be closed source, but it won't be open source either. It will be somewhere inbetween, making it easy for us to charge for Atom while still making the source available under a restrictive license so you can see how everything works. We haven't finalized exactly how this will work yet. We will have full details ready for the official launch.
