That's another aspect of it. Though I think it really starts at the very root of the problem: bad data. Instead of putting money into gathering quality data, tech giants instead chose to use cheap labour (here: India) with insufficient

If the surface is a gold alloy, you don't really need to want it "bad enough" at all. Gold is a soft metal and unless you treat it with care, scratches will be common.

What bothers me about libraries like nlohmann/json isn't so much the style or the public interface (which is fine and I actually like, too). It's the fact that a conforming and performant JSON parsing and serialisation librar

This still doesn't explain why they cheaped out on the media engine side. While I can see a justification for the lack of 4K H264 encode support (kind of pointless for a card at this level of performance), removing the AV1 decoder and

Yes and no. AMD uses different architectures for their consumer grade hardware and their HPC stuff as well (i.e. RDNA vs. CDNA). CUDA support (or rather lack thereof, which isn't AMD's fault) plays a major role w.r.t. software sup

You can still use the feature at your own risk - no one is forcing you to install the microcode update.

It worked for one SKU at launch and by disabling up to 50% of the cores of the others. Calling that a working feature is a bit of a stretch already.

I misread that there, so disregard the first reply. Point still stands: no one forces you to upgrade your BIOS (unless there's problems) and even then, patching the BIOS upgrade itself is still an option. So it remains under user contr

That just when the update is applied, not how it gets there. The FIT is still updated externally (e.g. by the OS) and doesn't magically fill itself with new microcode.

The BIOS doesn't upgrade microcode - the OS does. During boot there's usually no network connectivity, so how would the BIOS even know of an update, let alone acquire it?
