@valpackett @never_released Oh, so that's why MediaTek was hiring Windows developers last year

MediaTek surpassed Nvidia in ARM CPUs thanks to the amount of money Google poured into it, so I'm not surprised in the slightest. Their laptop SoCs are on-par with ~i5 from Intel these days.

> Huang said Nvidia believes it can bridge the gap between the Linux operating system that most AI developers use and Microsoft's (MSFT.O), opens new tab Windows, which is widely used by consumers, by using a Microsoft technology called Windows Subsystem for Linux that allows a single computer to use both systems.

Lol, lmao. Qualcomm hyped X Elite up and it ended up in a pool of poop because WoA is a joke. They better make sure Linux runs well on this hardware, or it will be a flop as well. WSL isn't an alternative.

@linus *SNCF jngle*

I went to see an apartment (1/2 scheduled today).

40m2 (2 rooms), freshly renovated, has a balcony, fiber (!!!).

The only downside is that it's a bit far from the office (25 minutes by bus which comes every 30 minutes, 15 minutes by bike).

Area is quiet and seems peaceful (nothing's destroyed, well-maintained buildings, friendly people, there's even a public book exchange shelf in front of bus station).

I'm trying to not get my hopes up... but I'm so hyped right now :ablobcatwobfast:

I love how news outlets look at random piece of code and draw assumptions from it when they don't understand how it works or what it does.

Valve using ChromeEC doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Framework already does it in their laptops.

It doesn't mean that Valve will use ChromeOS. In fact, ChromeOS is a dead project - almost entire team at Google has been laid off, and their partner companies had a lot of... restructuring recently (will not elaborate about the details, it's not public knowledge yet).

It's a sane, opensource implementation of SIO/EC written in Zephyr. Much easier to develop your own EC FW with STM32 or chip from Nuvoton than deal with garbage from iTE where you get disaster written in ARCompact and lackluster documentation (assuming you get any at all, since working with this company is so awful that you'll get ghosted even if you're their customer with NDA and everything).

Hopefully this explains why Valve is adding support for ChromeEC ACPI in their drivers.
