Legends say that if you say “Arm” three times into a mirror a Qualcomm executive will haunt you for the rest of your life

[shre]

For those un-aware, the censored word is ARM (ie ARM company)

ARM has sued Qualcomm for some patents infringement, Nuvia (these X elite chips were designed by this company) acquisition by Qualcomm and other legal things.

[Lord_Reset]

Interesting to see Qualcomm required them to blur out and not talk about arm, the architecture these chips run. Huh.

[abuelovinagres]

You know it's a sponsored ad when you get the "Microsoft says it will be ok" line.

[_Turbocat]

I like how arm is censored in the title of the article but not censored in the url 🤣

[Oddweevil]

This felt like the longest ad Segway of all time

[ReaperUnreal]

I love that 90% of the supported apps were electron apps.

[TheMelbournelad]

Linus gets strong ARMed, into blurring ARM, while ARM wrestling a fired employee

[yippeeclawyay]

I’m so glad that there’s more competition coming than the current duopoly

[Elepole]

Considering that Qualcom can't be arsed to support their smartphone chip for more than 2 or 3 years, i am curious how this will all pan out for those laptop.

(SnapDragon) Qualcomm makes intel and AMD obsolete. Brought to you by Qualcomm.

[rolandddd]

You know what qualcomm is the ablosute worst at ? Native linux support. While their android chips technically run a version of linux, it requires their binary blob, which is only compatible with the kernels they want to support, and they stop supporting them after a couple years. This is why fairphone used a wierd iot chip instead of a smartphone chip, it was the only one with long term support.
I really hope that plague doesnt spread to laptops.

[jonathanrudy]

Linus drops things. Linus fires Colton. Colton drops Linus. Colton's revenge is sweet.

[somedude]

10:00 Letting Linus hold not just one but SEVEN new laptops at a time, that aren’t even on market yet, is insane.

[lvckUK]

Some concerns about privacy?
That comes with an absolute tonne of concerns about privacy.

[tttthd]

Why did you blur the word "Arm"?

[lingerlee]

Look closely at the“native”apps and they even listed social media “apps” in a dedicated section, when that only means electron-based apps got arm support largely thanks to chromium.

[bttlemastr]

That is a very misleading headline when the video is just a sponsored ad.

[Jasontyo]

Why does this terrify me as a lifelong PC enthusiast? I feel like adoption of Arm just means the end of ever building or upgrading anything again.

[eliadbu]

"Sponsored by Qualcomm" that says all, I can leave the video with all the info I need.
