Netflix has introduced HDR10+.

Also:

“AV1-SDR is already the second most streamed codec at Netflix, behind H.264/AVC.”

In my mind AV1 is still not widely supported or used. I guess not.

I know Netflix has done its best to avoid H.265/HEVC due to its prohibitive licensing costs. And it has financially and technically backed AV1. But I’m surprised there’s that many AV1-friendly devices out there.

One of my hobbies is video transcoding. I use HEVC. But perhaps I should take a look at AV1. I won’t adopt it yet. Encode times I’m sure are still too slow and I have very few devices that support it. But I’m curious how it competes with HEVC on quality.

Been using Todoist since 2018 and I just experienced a major bug for the first time ever.

I really do love Todoist. It’s remarkably reliable (aside from this one time of course).

I’m always amazed how rock-solid its syncing is too. I’m constantly making changes on multiple offline devices on the train. Whenever they come back online it all syncs up perfectly.

I wonder what Netflix’s algorithms could do with an actual decent sized movie libary. Their content is too limited atm for it to shine.
