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?
Yes, you are, but you're also correct.
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.
