are you talking about a specific thread? if so, could you please link to it. i see some generic posts about how ffmpeg is written in C and Assembly and will not be re-written in C+…

Isn't it an inherent problem with phones that if they are left on charge forever that their battery will explode? I've had test devices that I left connected for months together an…

yeah these are pretty much the options. i believe the ffmpeg command that OP suggested would do option 3.

yeah it probably doesn't matter in practice. you may run into some audio sync issues. but the ~1 second precision that you see is by accident where the source file happens to have …

i understand that this is the fastest way to extract frames, but it is limited by key frame availability in the original file (i.e.) you can only start the output from a keyframe. …

fwiw, it seems like it's a common thing to avoid answering vague/overly broad questions like this in a deposition. see here: https://old.reddit.com/r/SelfDrivingCars/comments/10df9…

Slightly off topic, but a hack that i have found to read recipe websites on my phone is to use the "Print Recipe" link that most websites provide. It gets rid of most of the annoyi…

hmm, while this is cool i am not sure if it is a full-fledged replacement for the Google Finance "portfolios" feature. That lets you add the number of stocks you own for each symbo…

As far as i know, most of the outsourcing companies have a contract with the employee that will make the employee pay a huge fine if he quits them after moving to the US. I'm not s…

yes, but using a thing they already have comes with privacy concerns. it also depends on their wifi/bluetooth being in "discoverable" mode.

I am just curious. Wouldn't it be more easier to do this with specific devices than using the phones? Each passenger can be given a smart card along with the boarding pass (or embe…

in most countries i've been to (UK, Canada, India) 2G data came in handy for things like navigation. note that 2g is part of your plan and it does not cost anything extra. neverthe…

FWIW, T-Mobile in the US already has the exact same offering [1]. Their plan has free texts and 2g data in 120+ countries. Calls cost 20 cents per minute. [1] http://www.t-mobile.c…

This I/O 2013 video has some technical information about the codec internals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6JshvblIcM

no it does not. it has a hardware VP8 decoder though. source: https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/media

i had a similar thought when i read this. it would be nice if you can share other similar stuff in that list of yours! :-)

Looks pretty good. I've been using http://www.airdates.tv/ for this stuff. One suggestion would be to add more service providers like Google Play Movies and Vudu.

the particular example that you want seems to use eplayer. it seems like it's a livestream and uses some proprietary protocol and is not as simple as fetching data from a URL and p…

No, chromecast cannot play flash videos. But you can extract the URL of the videos from common swf based players like JWPlayer using a tool like youtube-dl [1] and then use that UR…
