Blog http://www.personal-view.com/talks/categories/blog/p165/feed.rss Sun, 04 May 25 19:18:13 +0000 Blog en-CA Apple internally thinking of abolishing JPEG support http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/25052/apple-internally-thinking-of-abolishing-jpeg-support Fri, 08 Jan 2021 14:29:30 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 25052@/talks/discussions Strong internal rumors are that Apple wants to move to new version of their HEIF format. And establish this as paid licensed standard.

JPEG local viewing support will be fully absent both on Macs and iOS devices.

Yet you will be able to view or use JPEG image, to do so it will be sent to Apple Cloud servers and converted either to lossy or lossless HEIF, available option will depend on your payment plan.

Apple Cloud software also will be making image licensing check, faces and object recognition and inserting all this information into the meta fields.

Photographers will be able to pay Apple to add photos into license check database and assign special cost for each usage time.

If you try to use such licensed JPEG or HEIF image in Apple application or application available in Mac Store you will be present with special dialog to pay for one time or perceptual license use. Any applications that go around it and use images directly will be prohibited (on ARM platforms).

All new Apple chips will have special hardware making encoding and decoding of images, and special DRAM section where image data will reside while being fully protected from any access from any code including OS core level. Only special on-chip hardware coprocessor will have access. Hardware decoder will always add special encoded watermark with machine id into any image data that will be rendered to screen or given to application.

Feature is expected to become standard on all Apple devices since 2024. With Macbooks getting it around late 2022.

If money, according to Ogier, "is born with a bloody spot on one cheek," then the newborn capital oozes blood and dirt from all its pores, from head to toe.

Good quote: On Trump leaving the scene http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/25046/good-quote-on-trump-leaving-the-scene Fri, 08 Jan 2021 08:58:10 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 25046@/talks/discussions

Another reason why the omnipotence of “wealth” is more certain in a democratic republic is that it does not depend on defects in the political machinery or on the faulty political shell of capitalism. A democratic republic is the best possible political shell for capitalism, and, therefore, once capital has gained possession of this very best shell (through the Trumps, Baidens and Pelosi's.), it establishes its power so securely, so firmly, that no change of persons, institutions or parties in the bourgeois-democratic republic can shake it.

...

The petty-bourgeois democrats, such as our Socialist-Revolutionaries and Mensheviks, and also their twin brothers, all the social-chauvinists and opportunists of Western Europe, expect just this “more” from universal suffrage. They themselves share, and instil into the minds of the people, the false notion that universal suffrage “in the present-day state” is really capable of revealing the will of the majority of the working people and of securing its realization.
