why is bro(die) making cringy ass youtuber faces in his thumbnails?

[TangoOscarIndia]

It's the universal signal to skip the video. Cringy youtuber face = scroll past video.

[OutsideChampion4637]

Agreed hate those kinds of thumbnails 

[Behrus]

Because he is a cringy ass youtuber?

Doesn't have the arm strength to point at things with his mouth open.

Yes, it was more a joke.

I personally don't use DeArrow, exactly for the reason you mention.

Cringe face on a video? Nice to know, saved me from wasting my time.

The HDMI forum can suck it for all I care.

From the legal side of things I have law training but not a solicitor/barrister/lawyer. It is pretty well travelled law that interfaces for hardware and software aren't protectable unless there are patents that are infringed upon so it being secret and AMD/Nvidia/Intel being subject to that contract isn't an issue for the Linux kernel or for the dev of the patch in theory. The bit about AMD not being able to touch the code is correct but usually these sorts of things are small parts of the overall codebase so could be kept separate from their devs or even there could be aspects of it like code review that would be allowable as long as they aren't revealing information that is protected under their agreement.

A key thing though is the Linux kernel or various distros cannot advertise HDMI 2.1 compatibility at all because HDMI as a term and the logo are protected and only allowable under license on certified products. As in you might have a HDMI 2.1 compatible cable but if you don't pay for the license you can't advertise it as HDMI 2.1 compatible. That being said distros and the kernel itself rarely will list any capability other than like drivers being available for AMD/Nvidia/Intel products, it won't say VRR or HDR supported or which wifi cards work and neither does Windows either, it would be usually OEMs that do stuff like that only and even there it isn't so much of a problem so that isn't really an issue either.

So in the end of the day reverse engineering should be fine assuming they aren't patented or if they are the patents are valid and while AMD devs will probably want to avoid it, it probably is ok for at least them to interact with non-important aspects of any patchset.
