I'm not sure what you're arguing here. There are important features missing in AMD's linux implementation, the ROCm ecosystem remains unsupported (on consumer hardware) under linux, and it relies on the same linux-firmware b

There's an example right above you of NVIDIA's explicit-sync patches being rejected because AMD and Intel aren't ready to move on that piece of functionality yet, despite implicit sync resulting in higher latency and a worse

On what basis do you make the assertion that intel and AMD don’t contribute patches to wayland or compositors? That seems like an extraordinary claim.

RX 550 windows support is being dropped by AMD as well. Linux community support will continue but at some point official support does end for these things. https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-confirms-polaris-and-vega-ar.

They’re pretty analogous to broadcast content networks. They license and produce content and convey it to customers. We certainly do impose certain responsibilities and duties even on non-public airwaves - for example we require them to dis

In the long run we are all dead, and if the period until wages catches up is sufficiently long, you can just do it again in 10-20 years. Or peg it to inflation. “Wages will catch up eventually” isn’t a good argument that it doesn’t help peo

Sure. That’s called “paying a living wage”, it was always an option. Just advertise the prices with the fees included. That’s the rub, restaurant owners want to advertise one price and then actually charge a bunch more once they know people

Eh. Largely society transfers money from urban areas to subsidize rural ones. Thousands of miles of road and power and other services to sparse populations would not be sustainable without these transfers. And far from everyone who lives ou

Operating margins are actually down compared to previous gens, roughly similar to 2012 levels, until AI comes into the picture. And gaming cards haven’t increased their margins equivalently. Nvidia isn’t going to sell gaming cards at an ope

4060 is one of the better-value options in the stack, actually. The RX 7600 is still on 6nm and is no faster, much less efficient, and skips many of the microarchitectural improvements to rdna3 to try and keep cost down. $250-270 is fine fo

If someone is driving so sleepy or having such a medical crisis that they can’t keep the car on the road, they shouldn’t be driving even if they’re sober. The harm to others doesn’t go away just because it’s “medical”, you are still just as

apple always sells the base-tier model the most, by a pretty significant margin. especially in MBA or mac mini. all the big-box stores like bestbuy and costco carry that model, and it usually sees further sales. So it's hard to say
