    1. This number is taken from the Wikipedia page, and represents a lab setting from totally uncompressed to full HEVC encoding. It’s not representative of data savings that you get from one video codec vs another, which is likely less than 4-6% between something like VP9 and HEVC… The 25-50% of completely fucking laughable in a realistic setting and you look like and idiot for bringing it up.
    2. It’s absolutely an overestimation by every conceivable metric available.
    3. You can encode to whatever you want, but if you take a VP9 encoded video and re-encode it, you may only save 1% and it will take several hours to encode. There are even situations where you will save nothing, or the resultant video file is actually larger even with HEVC.

    It’s zipping a zip file. Endlessly re-compressing things doesn’t yield positive results in the way you describe.


  • Blu-rays are compressed.

    All streaming data is compressed at some point. I clearly meant not over-compressed. 4K video or UHD BD can both be taken from their original states and processed through HEVC to get crisp 1080p h265 10bit at a steep data discount. But it’ll take a very long time to process. It’s simply not worth it.

    “Zipping a zip file” doesn’t apply here because zips are lossless.

    It’s a figurative expression and I feel that was pretty damn obvious…


    1. I’ve been encoding HEVC for a long time and I’ve not once seen a file-size drop that dramatically. You’re outrageously overestimating the file-size savings here.
    2. If a video file is already compressed you’ll see diminished and even negative returns by attempting to compress it further. OP seems to be taking pre compressed video files from the internet and attempting to compress them again (lossy to lossy) which is very very very stupid.

  • I’m confused… Are you grabbing pirated video files from the net and re-encoding them… If you’re attempting to further compress already compressed video, you’re just zipping a zip file. It’s crazy and you’ll do nothing but bloat the file size (versus a properly compressed video file) and further reduce the quality of the video via artifacts. I’ll call the police and have you committed right now.

    If you’re grabbing 8/4k or UHD BD movies and re-encoding them into lets say, 1080p HEVC 10bit, I could see that being worth it if you really love the movie (and have 5 days with nothing to do), but only if you’re going from an inferior compression to better (h264 to h265), otherwise like I said, you’re zipping a zip file.


  • Your mistake here is to not know or understand what the word “comparison” is.

    The most terminally online shit that I’ve seen this year is you inferring that because two nouns are used in the same sentence then they must be equal. Learn what critical thinking is, and then apply what you’ve learned. I’ll help you later on down the road, I promise.

    Israel v. Palestine isn’t an entire population of terrorists vs the very innocent Israel whose never done anything wrong in their entire lives, ever. It’s a modern genocide. We know that. There are dozens of independent governing bodies who’ve made this distinction. And I’m sorry if it hurts your sensibilities that I can’t advocate for someone who says “maybe we should just drop it! let bygones be bygones!” as if Israel skinned Palestine’s knee and isn’t actively murdering children and calling them agents of Hamas to legitimize it.

    If your brain is that deteriorated, then that’s perfectly fine. You’re entitled to your vote. But mine isn’t, and so am I–and I won’t give it to someone who says some insane shit like that.








  • I still use my 3a XL without issue. This is very likely a usage issue, settings issue or even a hardware issue. It’s not a software issue.

    Clear your application cache. If that still doesn’t work, try uninstalling Google Chat, then re-install it. If it’s built in, uninstall the updates, and then re-update. This resets all the notification settings.
