Is Newegg really any better?

None of my mobile devices are “necessary,” though. Honestly, I could live just fine without an internet connection. Not that I’d enjoy it, but that’s not necessary.

“Necessary” is a little ambiguous. You could argue that wifi is unnecessary for a normal home network.

Here’s my use-case, I’m pretty sure the first 2 are pretty common (common enough to be supported by most OEM firmware):

• main LAN
• guest LAN (isolated from “main” but can access internet)
• IoT LAN (isolated from internet, can be accessed from “main”; prevents devices from phoning home)

Openwrt works great for gigabit networks with simple firewall rules and no IPS. But used 10-56gbps enterprise equipment is getting pretty cheap, and more complicated firewall configurations need more powerful hardware than the typical openwrt router.

And 56gbps on a home LAN might be overkill, but that’s not important.

Their contacts are most likely protected by NDAs, but they’re also written by lawyers who know how to close loopholes. There’s no way a SIG like the HDMI forum would allow members to release compatible products without following the rules.

Even if it isn’t covered by the contract, the other members could hold a vote to remove AMD from the forum.

No, they can’t. AMD is a member of the HDMI forum, which means they’re contractually obligated to follow the forum’s rules. In exchange, they get voting rights on decisions like this one, the right to propose changes to the HDMI standards, technical details that are protected by NDAs, etc. They wouldn’t throw that all away and open themselves up to a lawsuit just for their OSS drivers.

Why does it need to be underground? If it’s processed into lumber (for houses, etc) the carbon is still removed from the atmosphere, it’s it not?

Witnessing a crime is a red flag?

The clubs you’re referring to call themselves “1%ers” because 99% of motorcycle riders don’t do that kind of stuff. There are plenty of clubs that will kick you out if you break the law (speeding, wheelies, etc) when you’re riding with them.

Wear an extra layer?

Are you speaking from experience?

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, since you gave clear instructions that anyone can follow to verify what you said.

These kinds of issues are common on any large software project.

Also a good point, but Microsoft has a history of EEE so it’s also fair to be sceptical of them.

The way God intended

Only if they know about the repo, and apparently the Nvidia employee responsible for submitting patches upstream didn’t.

Maybe that’s why their drivers are so bad? /s

Hardware manufactures (Intel, AMD, etc) SHOULD be contributing to Linux. How could they EEE if they aren’t directly competing? The better compatibility they have with Linux, the more server CPUs they can sell. That’s their motivation, and it’s aligned with the OSS community.
