Tennis career
Östberg represented the Swedish Davis Cup team in 1929, 1933–34 and 1936–37. His first match in 1929 was against South Africa in Saltsjobaden, where he and his teammates, Sune Malmström and Henning Muller, suffered a 5–0 loss. He played a total of 17 matches and won 6 of them. Three of the wins were in doubles with his partner Kalle Schröder. In 1946 he was appointed as non-playing captain for the Swedish team.[3]
Östberg made two appearances at the Wimbledon Championships, in 1929 and 1934, losing in the first round on both occasions.[4]
gollark: Anyway, given the total lack of AV1 hardware encoders regular people can buy, it isn't a very suitable replacement for H.264, which is the most common video codec basically everywhere.
gollark: (decode complexity suffers somewhat)
gollark: H.266 recently got standardized, which could be cool if they don't bee the licensing like with H.265, as it's faster to encode than AV1 but has greater bitrate savings.
gollark: However, it has about 10x worse encoding speed, and the encoders are not hugely production-ready, so use is basically limited to giant interweb companies.
gollark: AV1 is better from a licensing perspective, and more bitrate-efficient than H.265.
