>>108836808Great now Arc really is doomed.
>>108836845intel already dropped the desktop branch of arc
>>108836808Valve should get into GPU manufacturing. It's the smart move
>>108836869cost too much and locked with hundreds of patents.
>>108836808how are you self employed if you're working for valve
>>108836808Linux is cooked; it's becoming more and more vendored.
am i supposed to know some retards from some companies around the globe? is this a HR department internal exchange or something?make me an 0x16 leaf response, AMD'tards, thats what am interested in.
>>108836869It's a smarter play to hire SMEs from one of the biggest chip manufacturers in the world that also specialize in integrated chips for low-power systems (consoles). I also don't see how Valve could benefit to themselves and the industry by just being another fabless player.
>>108836891wait maybe he is working on his own but selling what he builds to valve
>>108836891>how are you self employed if you're working for valveHe self employed himself to valve.
>>108836938/g/ is just twitter screensharts and LLMs linked in posting now
>>108836932Valve only hires open source devs, btw. Even proton is released under the BSD license, and the x86 to ARM translation, FEX-Emu was also a result of hiring open source devs.
>>108836808given the state of amd gpu drivers on linux is that a good or bad thing?
>>108837012how do I self employ myself to valve?
>>108837027Phoronix is independent, human written journalism without any algos pushing it on any goyslop social media.
>>108837029>Even proton is released under the BSD licenseThey re-licensed wine?
>>108836879>locked with hundreds of patentsMakes me laugh when people blame capitalism for high prices when it's the government preventing competition from lowering prices.
>>108836808traitor.
>>108836869after seeing their garbage controller no they shouldn't lmao
>Self-employed
>>108836860Does this mean I can now buy the last best version of Intel arc for peanuts?
>>108837876even retards think peanuts can run inference so no, nothing will ever be cheap again.
>>108836891I guess he is contractor since he's probably living in Europe and classic employment would be a lot more complicated and expensive.
>>108837738being a contrarian does not make you cool, sperglord
>>108836879Apple is pretty successful with their architecture, more companies should do it instead of reyling on 2-3 cpu manufacturers
>>108836808now what
>>108837451people are taught in school that "capitalism is the system we have" without even a little bit of nuance or recognition that we still possess many ancient mercantilist relics in our system too, like IP law
>>108838110It's not just that, he can also pay absolute peanuts for taxes that way (if he's clever, and he clearly very much is). t. Czechfag
>>108838591so he's living like a king and is rich now?
>>108838605I would say so, if Valve pays as much as I would expect to a dev on his position. Then again, if he's living in Canada, it might be different. Still, it kinda solves his taxes back home, at least.
at least he doesn't have blue hairs and looks like a champ who listens to death metal
>>108838666He's like 1 year from trooning out
>>108837876>will IntelAviv discount their productslol
>>108838671all troonix users are
Feels like amd is getting valve to do all their driver development
>>108838591His surname is Slovak.Get mogged pepik.
>>108836860Nah, they actually hired a bunch of ex FSR devs.
>>108838666Metal is for posers
>>108836869they cant even manage to profit making trivial shit like handheld devices lmfaothey only profit from children gambling. so maybe if they made a GPU optimized for generating csam that would be their wheelhouse
>>108838488Apple is also Apple, also their CPU is ARM, not their own.
>>108837057You can't do that, so I assume it's a mixed license with all the Proton specific crap being BSD while components like Wine are LGPL.
Graphics drivers under Linux, and thus gaming under Linux, are living on borrowed time. Half of the driver devs are troons and as soon as the inevitable massive troon melty happens it will all be over. It's already starting to happen to Asahi. Enjoy it while it lasts.
>>108840616This but unironically.
>>108838488apple bought two cpu design companies:Intrinsity for >$120 millionsPalo Alto Semiconductor for $278 millions Apple also have a special license from ARM. Once you have enough patents, you can do cross licensing with other patent holders. IBM, Sun microsystems, and Intel cross licensed many patents between each other. For example, Simultaneous thread execution was patented by Sun, they licensed the patent to intel (hyper threading) but not to AMD. AMD had to wait for the patent to expire to finally have true SMT with Ryzen. CPU design is a patent minefield.
>>108838567it is.look up the origins of the term "capitalism"what youre thinking of isnt "capitalism", "capitalism" was always our enemy.
