Quale operatore scegliere?

A meno di andare sugli operatori virtuali dei grandi operatori (ho., kena, very), che hanno significativi limiti di velocità e sono deprioritizzati, non si raggiungono quei prezzi. L'unica offerta così economica che conosco è PosteMobile Super 20 a 4€, che però ha minuti e messaggi a consumo. La rete è quella di Vodafone oggi.

Io sono Fastweb, pago 7,95€ al mese per un centinaio di GB + minuti e messaggi con pure 5G. Mi trovo molto bene. Non avessi anche la linea fissa pagherei pure io 8,95€, che comunque è un buon prezzo (più basso di Iliad con 5G).

Handbrake/ffmpeg: What free video codec to use for 720p videos?

I usually go for VP9 and opus in a webm container. This is widely supported, because it is Google sponsored, used on YouTube and supported by all browsers. As other people told you here, DVD are not 720p, they are 480 or 576 interlaced or progressive. You can find more details on Wikipedia.

AV1 is the best compressing standard for video, but it is slower in encoding than HEVC (usually). VP9 is the predecessor, which is compresses better than AVC and comes close to HEVC. Speed wise is comparable to x265.

Opus is the best audio standard, the only reason you may want to avoid it is for incompatibilities with older hardware players (in car radios, BluRay players,...).

Redox OS - an OS built entirely out of Rust

Reply in thread

My point wasn't that C++ is good. My point was that C++ can and is used everywhere (desktop applications, web applications, OSs,...) and is older than Rust. So I feel that "this is the first general purpose language that can be used for all projects" is false. Probably "this is the first general purpose language that I (and many others) like to use for all projects" is true, but is a different claim.

TLDR: You said Rust was first language capable of system, app and web, it isn't.

You reached the end
