In patent cases, sure. It's a fundamentally broken system, not wasting the time of innocent people in maintaining that system would be an improvement.
It's not going to get worse for it, in fact it would almost certainly get better... because juries of lay people just make patent cases more of a crapshoot (an intended effect by the people bringing the lawsuit) and while the value of patents might be negative, the value of gamblers is worse still.
That's only marginally relevant, the true measure of patent validity is the opinion of 12 people from Delaware too stupid or lazy to get out of jury duty.
I haven't seen any benchmarks yet for AV1, but the impact of software decoding 720p on a mobile device with XVC (a more proprietary codec with similar compression claims) is reported to be limited (~15% reduction in battery life with continuous 720p viewing).
It might take a while for decent implementations of AV1 software decoders to come around.
The attack surface from OS's and applications written in C for the average IT department is huge though. They buy/use that utter trash created by decades of overconfident programmers.
Look at how rabid the defense can get for BYOD or programming in C. THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE to standard practices in IT, the inevitable failure modes are argued to be a case of imperfect humans... to which everyone here is the supposed exception to the rule.
IT is fucked, money doesn't help. You need to genocide the IT industry and start over.
A market for what Valve offered no. A market for certified hardware platforms running a highly QA'd version of Linux already exists outside of home gaming though, Chromebook and Android. I think there would have been a market for a Valve certified Linux based consoles, with certified games guaranteed to meet UI specs and to run well. Especially if it could just run windows or Linux in a VM, to get the best of both worlds.
Valve never wanted to commit that much though. Quite the opposite if you look at Steam Direct, they don't even want to be involved to see if a game has an executable file at this point. They want to dump a steaming load on your PC, take their cut and run away cackling.
Yet Chromebooks which have only a fraction of the capability of a windows laptop are selling fine. If Valve had been willing to put in the time and effort to create hardware which Just Werks, while creating a special store section for QA'd software which is up to standard... it would have sold. It would have been like a console, which can dual boot windows.
They never wanted to go far enough to do that though, they don't want to be in the business of selecting a subset of games and giving it their seal of approval.
I doubt something like Media Composer would get any tablet-mode version. I suspect they will keep desktop only APIs much the same as they are, just introducing new APIs to develop 2-in-1 applications which can do both.
Few of Apple products involve as many people as this would 2 years ahead of time. If they can ship this in two years, they've been working on the desktop processors and chipsets for a couple years already. Hell, if this ships in 2 years they would need to be involving third party software parties already. Unlike their Chinese factory workers they can't just suicide a couple of those to make an example of leaker's either:p
For a laptop the use cases are so minimal that the downsides (reducing the quality of the display) are just not worth it. The niche of people who need touch on a laptop is too small for them to bother with. With the unified ecosystem they'll probably do 2-in-1 devices and you'll be able to get a touch screen.
They probably just want to be able to deliver apps which can work well both on 2-in-1 devices and tablets... and of course save all the money they are paying Intel at the moment. I doubt much will change for pure desktop apps, other than the ISA.
I didn't see any system to keep the driver's eyes on the road and hands and feet on the controls, you can't rely on the human to remain vigilant. You have to force him to be vigilant. Just like in trains.
New Zealand has been maneuvered by treasonous governments into being a debtor nation while running a trade surplus (should be impossible, but that's where treason comes in). Your land has been sold to foreigners for baubles and thanks to international trade treaties it's almost impossible to take back.
Every single one of those can be traced back to overpopulation. The impact of population growth on per capita recoverable rainfall is far greater than global warming. There's three likely ways forward. Mass migration (globalist preferred option). Asia and Africa needs stop shitting out so many children (least likely). Mass die offs (most likely). Regardless of global warming.
If you put a democratic vote to a sufficiently high carbon tax to actually make a dent (and not just create a giant corrupt machine full of perverse incentives which does nothing of consequence) the vote would be no. No campaign contributors needed. If we had electricity storage tech worth a damn we could accelerate a bit away from fossil fuels, but as it stands it's just not an option without a massive drop in standard of living... it's not going to happen.
Either technology saves us, reality massively undershoots AGW predictions or we will have to pair down human population a bit in the future. Regardless, life will go on.
I hate natural resource competition. It leads to wars, mass migration, ethnic strife and neo-Malthusianism and I'd rather not be a greedy racist neo-Malthusian.
The white man is the food provider of last resort to the rest of the world, sometimes first resort in heavily overpopulated nations. If something goes really wrong with corn the first world will do fine. WE aren't reliant on a single species of plant, WE have plenty of surplus calories, we'd take care of our own. How magnanimous we'd remain to the third world in such a situation, we'd have to see.

On x86, yes. That's why user space drivers suck for things with frequent calls.

Fake billing old people is a much safer crime.

A Surface Pro wipes the board with an IPad pro in application benchmarks.
I'm sure if Apple actually tried to design for desktop they could do it, but what they have as of yet is lacking.
I doubt something like Media Composer would get any tablet-mode version. I suspect they will keep desktop only APIs much the same as they are, just introducing new APIs to develop 2-in-1 applications which can do both.

An ordinary car won't go very far without an active driver.
I didn't see any system to keep the driver's eyes on the road and hands and feet on the controls, you can't rely on the human to remain vigilant. You have to force him to be vigilant. Just like in trains.
Anyone with common sense is a reliable source on information about alternative medicine.
Just play a fucking annoying sound every time the driver doesn't watch the road and doesn't have his foot on the break peddle.
I don't care if they're attentive. but they better be watching the road.

Explosives are not a bomb, they might not even be synthesized for their explosive properties.

So you get to celebrate a song about running a train on a woman and then turn around to complain about misogyny.
How about we split it down the middle, the age of insanity.

Oh no, a sociopath didn't obey the omerta ... that sure makes him so much different from the other ones (main difference, they didn't get caught yet).
