Your YouTube and Netflix streams may look better and buffer less later this year

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Alliance for Open Media announced it will launch AV2 later this year, which should be a big upgrade for streaming video. The next-generation video codec is said to offer better compression, enhanced support for AR/VR applications, and will operate over a wider visual quality range. It’s expected that 88% of AOM members — which include brands like Samsung, Google, Microsoft, and Apple — will adopt AV2 within two years. The AV1 video codec is about to make

Joe Tsai, Daniel Martí, Johan Brandhorst-Satzkorn, Roger Peppe, Chris Hines, and Damien Neil 9 September 2025 Introduction JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is a simple data interchange format. Almost 15 years ago, we wrote about support for JSON in Go, which introduced the ability to serialize and deserialize Go types to and from JSON data.

Google Pixel 10’s new camera setting is a storage-saving game changer for 4K videos

TL;DR Google tells us the Pixel 10 can record videos using the VP9 and AV1 codecs, helping to save valuable storage space. Support for the AV1 format is especially noteworthy, as it can reduce video file sizes by up to 30% compared to the current default H.265 with no quality loss. VP9 and AV1 codec support is thanks to the Pixel 10’s Tensor G5 chip, but users should be aware that these newer video formats may not be compatible with all devices or platforms. When you spend over $1,000 on a ne

The Gentoo Perl versioning scheme

The Gentoo Perl Versioning Scheme A common observation/confusion people have is that the versions used on Perl related things in Gentoo don't directly correspond to upstream versions. This is because Upstream uses two different schemes, and one of those schemes is fundamentally incompatible with Gentoo's. The Problem In most people's minds, this is how version numbers sort: 1.0 1.1 1.5 1.10 1.15 1.20 1.45 This is because you read . as a delimiter for multiple integers. However, in Perl, t

The first non-opoid painkiller

In the nineteenth century, the invention of anesthesia was considered a gift from God. But post-operative pain relief has continued to rely on opioids, derivatives of opium, the addictive substance employed since ancient times. Although no other drug has managed to match the rapid, potent, and broadly effective relief delivered by opioids, their side effects have led to decades of addiction and overdose, leaving researchers keen to find a better solution. This all changed in January 2025, when

Selfish reasons for building accessible UIs

Posted June 16, 2025 by Nolan Lawson in accessibility, Web. Tagged: accessibility. 2 Comments All web developers know, at some level, that accessibility is important. But when push comes to shove, it can be hard to prioritize it above a bazillion other concerns when you’re trying to center a <div> and you’re on a tight deadline. A lot of accessibility advocates lead with the moral argument: for example, that disabled people should have just as much access to the internet as any other person, a

Canon's New Camera Is in a Category Once Thought Practically Dead

A new point-and-shoot camera? In 2025? That might seem surprising if you aren't up on the latest trends. The reality is the prices of used and older compact cameras have gone through the roof. There's a real interest, especially among younger people, for capable cameras separate from their phones. Canon follows recent announcements by Nikon, Panasonic and others with its new camera in a category once thought dead. The PowerShot V1 records 4K video at 60fps, takes 22.3-megapixel photos and has a

Lamborghini catapults into the electrified supercar age with the Revuelto

We are effectively living in a post-horsepower world. As the roster of production cars offering quadruple-digit output figures continues to expand and a growing number of garden-variety vehicles now offer straight-line acceleration that would have been exclusively supercar territory a decade ago, serious thrust is quickly becoming an expectation rather than a rarefied experience. This trend might seem like an existential dilemma for an automaker with a legacy built on face-melting performance,
