Can confirm, starting and running a business in Germany is miserable.

The processes are all non-digital, and have many steps like Notaries for example.

I thought Tyr was the Norse god of War & Justice.

Considering that the Mali GPUs were developed by ARM Norway, and this driver is Just, I would say this is one aptly named driver.

Very on brand for Germany to invest tech 15 years past its prime.

Sounds really interesting. CCC is an amazing event.

Sure, it's happened before but it is not in Apples customers interests, just Apples corporate moat building interests.

This quite clearly shows the cost of Apple preferring to build a software ecosystem moat, than using the Vulkan API which every other OS supports.

Vulkan support was introduced in OBS Studio 25.0 in March 2020, 5.5 years ago.

Arduino is a tiny market, and Qcom has left bigger things to die on the vine previously. They dont need Arduino to succeed in any way.

I can confirm. While there is a fair amount of train infrastructure, it is horribly unreliable. Plan for being delayed for 30-50% of the scheduled travel time.

Qcom is a lawnmower, if you stick your hand in, it'll chop it off.

Qcom is a corporate behemoth, much like Oracle. In the immortal words of Bryan Cantrill, it is a lawnmower and if you stick your hand in it you'll get it chopped off.

Ah, I assumed you meant you were living in Russia.

Either way you have connections to actual Russians, now is the time to use them.

To do nothing is to be complicit. Your taxes paid for this.

Couldn't be further from the truth. All Arm SOC manufacturers are competitors of Nvidia.

Nor have we seen any serious uptake of Intels licensing business. It's a paper launch.

Adding to that Intel didn't exactly pick this model as their first choice. The combination of a wafer production shortage and Intels CPUs underperforming is what drove Intel to this. It is neither Intels or most feasible clients first choice.

ARM can't flourish under Nvidia, which customer would prefer to buy IP from a potential competitor rather than from a neutral provider.

The ecosystem business model that defines Arm simply doesn't have any space for them being perceived as biased this way or that way.

You can run Wayland on NVidia drivers, but then your desktop environment has to support EGLStreams, which isn't a requirement for any other drivers and as such isn't implemented in all DEs.

NVidia is broken, not Wayland. They refuse to implement the same APIs as everyone other driver does.

Wayland is 10 years old, and extremely stable. If it isn't working properly it's either your driver vendor or your desktop environment that is to blame.

I feel like that is a recipe for getting price gouged. Or do you search for trips with 3rd party tools and then book it directly?

The kernel very much returns sentinel values, if something more complicated has to be transmitted error codes are commonly used. I see nothing wrong with it.
