ARM purchase of arm2risv.com leaks pivot to RISC-V
- indolering 4y agoIt redirects to arm.com and they share a registrar [1, 2]. [1]: https://who.is/whois/arm2riscv.com https://who.is/whois/arm2riscv.com [2]: https://who.is/whois/arm.com https://who.is/whois/arm.com
- brucehoult 4y agoSeems HN followed the redirect before attaching the URL to the post, as the post just leads direct to arm.com. http://arm2riscv.com/ http://arm2riscv.com/ Looks legit.
- slater 4y agoI believe HN checks for the canonical URL, and if it's different to the one submitted, the canonical URL is used.
- ta230401 4y agoBruce, you and indolering know this domain was turned over to ARM months ago after a trademark dispute. https://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/search/case.jsp?case=D2022-1116 https://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/search/case.jsp?case=D20... https://archive.is/Vvnz5 https://archive.is/Vvnz5
- brucehoult 4y agoNope, I didn't know anything about the WIPO case. Thanks for that information. As for the other link, sure it is date related.
- indolering 4y agoDon't ruin a good April fools joke! Please delete this post and I promise I'll update it tomorrow.
- snvzz 4y agoMaybe they just don't want somebody else to have that domain? I just don't trust ARM management to be smart enough to pivot to RISC-V.
- indolering 4y agoThey certainly seem to have purchased it from somebody [1], which appears to have been registered shortly after a Github project of the same name went live [2]. Maybe it's a catch-and-kill? [1]: https://dnshistory.org/historical-dns-records/ns/arm2riscv.com https://dnshistory.org/historical-dns-records/ns/arm2riscv.c...

- indolering 4y agoApril fools everyone! Seems like ARM got the domain from a trademark dispute. Redirecting it to their own website is a pretty funny self-own .
