    The semiconductor manufacturer is Rockchip, who makes a ton of SoC’s for single board computers. Rockchip has apparently copied ffmpeg’s code without attribution and changed the license to a permissive one from LGPL

      Terrible headline. Should have just been “Rockchip has…”.

      Am I showing my age if I say that Tomshardware used to be decent?

        I used to write a few things for HardOCP, and we always made fun of Tom’s for clickbait, chum, and straight up groveling to Nvidia. We straight up weren’t allowed to cite them, and had no desire to.

        That was like a decade ago.

        …Maybe they were alright when Tom was still with them, but that was a loooong time ago. Too long for me to even know.

          Back in the good days when vim users were vim users and nobody knew you were a dog. When buying a video card could be as casual as a network card.

          I guess AnandTech (RIP) had taken over the mantle next to you guys by then if memory serves right?
