  • Do trick 33B: Blame it on the crappy corporate anti-virus solution.

    Works always because nobody can say anything against that. Nobody knows exactly how it works, if it's secretly sending your data to the NSA for corporate espionage and if you would disable it, everything would be insecure.

  • Well if you want a real world comparison:

    We migrated a project a few years ago from Eclipse to IntelliJ. Outcome:

    • Complains about the IDE dropped from around 10 per day to nearly 0
    • Onboarding people now takes 1h instead of a day, because IntelliJ knows how to store configuration in a project
    • IntelliJ has a built in updater and nearly everything works after an update
    • IDE Fuckups: 1 per week (Eclipse) -> 1 per year (IntelliJ)
      • Somehow still happend? Just click "Delete caches and restart" in IntelliJ
    • No sources and javadoc for a library available? Eclipse: Have fun reading bytecode; IntelliJ: Yeah I just decompiled it for you within 10s

    So yeah I wouldn't recommend going back into hell. Even VSCode and it's forks are likely better at this point.

  • Apparently someone in the South Korean goverment xD

  • If I had a nickel for every time someone didn't backup their datacenter, I'd have two nickels.

    Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened at least twice.

  • In short: Money

    Long story: Legacy

    The really long story: They added a bunch of stuff in that version and it's the last LTS before they removed a bunch of other stuff and a lot of companies are just too lazy to update their 10 year old crappy software.

    The end.

  • I mean sure, OP's title is somewhat clickbaity but it's kind of true though.

    Somewhat? Did you read the issue? Here's a recap: yt-dlp will introduce a proper JS runtime in the future to better cope with YT's JS. That's it... that's the issue.

    YouTube have broken compatibility with all existing unofficial clients.

  • Get this: YT will not be working on any known/popular VPN without signing in because it will always display: "Sign in to confirm that you're not a bot"

    This behavior is also completely unrelated to the above mentioned issue and is unchanged for a very long time.

  • This post's title is just completely incorrect and it looks like 700+ people didn't even read the comments or the actual issue for one minute.

    Good job guys!

  • Before opening this article... Let me guess? Texas

    Update: Yep Texas

  • Well Google said otherwise when they removed support for it: https://storage.googleapis.com/avif-comparison/index.html

    However I'm not sure how trustworty their own statistic is.

    On the other hand Mozilla's PoV:

    neutral - JPEG-XL includes features and performance that might differentiate it from other formats, but the benefits it provides are not significant enough on their own to justify the cost of adding another C++ image decoder to browsers. A memory-safe decoder would reduce these costs considerably, and we are open to shipping one that meets our requirements.

    https://mozilla.github.io/standards-positions/

    So AV1 is clearly the winner here, also because it can be used for videos and not just images.

  • But they were, all of them, deceived

    For another format was made.
