Also if you only have a CPU for example.

I thought even mobile-tier integrated GPUs can decode AV1 extremely quickly.

Legal money transfers are not a use case. Crypto is simply much more expensive to maintain. All these mining rigs and all that electricity must be paid for.

Various currencies are moving away from the proof-of-work model, FWIW. Ethereum was mentioned in this comment chain as one of them.

What’s that, like 90+% of Android users?

  1. Apple and Google are both guilty of this. Frankly, however, neither of them are particularly “guilty”, as
  2. Both Apple and Google were legally obligated not do disclose this practice until recently. It was revealed by Apple as soon as this embargo was lifted.

I’m not sure what more they could have done in that situation. Did you expect them to break the (very fucked up) law just to alert the public? Can Signal no longer claim to be privacy-focused if the government forces them to log a suspect’s password?
