"Substantial equipment, software or other assets valued at over $300 which an associated project purchases with SPI funds are owned by SPI." IMHO a replacement screen for 290 would not fall under this. also this is a legal/tax thing, SPI further writes "The equipment will be used and maintained by the project but SPI will hold legal ownership."

We're not a foundation either, as far as I know - SPI manages the fund completely, with only the liaison needing to make a request, provided there's consensus. If you think it's reasonable, you shouldn't block it. If you have conditions, you should concisely state them. If you think this is entirely unreasonable and falls outside of the scope of the project's donation funds, then I would expect you to apply the same pragmatic standards when it comes to future refund requests, be it personal choices such as parking and travel expenses. ___ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".

No, FFmpeg is controlled by the general assembly, that you are a member of From the GA 6 people i would say are associated with FFlabs one of these 6 hates FFlabs as it is currently. 2 more i think got occasionally paid by FFlabs. (that is AFAIK it) OTOH 43 developers in the GA are unrelated to FFLabs so teh statement "is now a shallow annex of the FFlabs company." iam not sure what facts that would be based on ... That said, my wish was and is that FFlabs or a successor to FFlabs would pay all the major developers of FFmpeg more or less in the order of "git shortlog -s -n" excluding people inactive by choice. For what _they_ (the developers themselfs) would consider important to work on. This is not FFlabs today, for mainly 2 reasons. 1. Not enough money really to pay more people 2. To get money, FFlabs needs to work on what customers pay for. Now about your complaint about FFmpeg not being what you want. If you cannot find a consensus with others, there is the Technical Committee. You did not contact the TC. Also, iam not sure you are entirely correct with your memory FFmpeg certainly was more accepting with experimental, cutting edge and at the border of FFmpegs scope things. But I do not remember FFmpeg was ever accepting every random thing. What has changed is the size of the community, more people means there is a higher changce someone will disagree. If you have an idea that makes sense for FFmpeg please try contacting the Technical Committee if you cannot find a consensus. If that fails, then we can discuss further. But dont be so negative We can create a seperate branch where people can commit whatever they want or some other more accepting ruleset. But this makes no sense before an issue has even been raised with the TC Thanks -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners. -- Vladimir Lenin signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".

I think my position was clear. I don't see the point in rereiterating it whilst we are evidently not going to reach an agreement. Besides, you have previously complained that my explanations were unnecessarily long. But since you bring it up and to sum up, I find completely reasonable for FFmpeg to provision hardware with the feature necessary to test your work, such as AVX-512 and Vulkan video decoding. But: 1) You already have been provided such hardware in the form of a desktop computer (and I am told that it was extremely expensive). 2) In general it makes more sense to get a desktop than a laptop for that purpose. Leaving aside those specific hardware requirements, I think it is completely reasonable for you to have a laptop, as most of us probably do. But I also think that it is not reasonable for the foundation to pay for personal laptops. Maybe you need a laptop specifically to work on FFmpeg for whatever reason. Then a cheap laptop for remote access, as Michael suggested, sounds like a reasonable compromise to me. Nevertheless, I think that: - If your employment requires you to work away from your desktop a lot, then your employer should provide the laptop. - If you want to work from your couch or from the beach (figuratively), that is really on you. -- Rémi Denis-Courmont http://www.remlab.net/ ___ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".

Neither of us are poor, which makes this defamatory. While we may subjectively be irrelavant, that is completely inappropriate wording.

Sounds like corrosion, did you inspect it for signs of corrosion ? I guess it would need a new mainboard. and maybe other parts But it honestly doesnt sound like a few drops of water, you shure it was a few drops only and only water ? ;) I dumped a whole glass of water through my HP notebook once and after drying it still worked just with some occasional artifacts on screen Anyway iam not against buying you a new notebook from SPI-FFmpeg money But you need to find some consensus with the community, its not my decission its the decission of the community. I do think though a cheap notebook would be aggreed to by the people easier in case you dont know, theres: https://geizhals.eu/?cat=nb you can select the features you want and it will show you whats available for example with OLED and Zen 4 the cheapest is 799€ https://geizhals.eu/acer-swift-go-sfg14-42-r6vl-pure-silver-nx-kleeg-003-a2999043.html?hloc=at=de or if you dont like acer Theres a lenovo for 999 with oled and zen 4 https://geizhals.eu/lenovo-yoga-slim-6-14apu8-misty-grey-a3040258.html?hloc=at=de or with IPS instead of OLED theres https://geizhals.eu/lenovo-ideapad-pro-5-14aph8-arctic-grey-83amcto1wwat1-83amcto1wwde1-a3051616.html?hloc=at=de again, i know neither so they may be bad choices, i have HP and acer notebooks here all sub 1k € also i dont know what you need exactly. Maybe a remote zen 4 is fine? I did generally use my notebooks with FFmpeg by doing stuff remotely on a bigger box. Even if you have a rather powerfull notebook, some high end desktop is going to build and run tests much faster PS: also dont forget to look at the screen size, a 17inch notebook and a 14inch differ in useability and portability thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB If you think the mosad wants you dead since a long time then you are either wrong or dead since a long time. signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".

A few drops of water got in between the caps lock before I noticed, by the time I did, it was too late. Battery circuitry is dead so it only runs on AC, frequency controller is dying so it runs at fixed Pentium II 350Mhz speeds, keyboard controller sees keys pressed all the time, touchpad is dead, USB is dead. The motherboard crammed essential components on the periphery and non-essential replaceable components like wifi and 4g modem right next to the CPU, so it was not great engineering.

I think some kind of remotely usable system does make sense for every volunteer who wants to work. It simply results in more available time for that work.

I think that I already addressed that up-thread? A docked laptop is basically the same as a desktop system, but more expensive and less powerful.

The whole premise is that your current laptop broke after just 2 years, while the normally (fiscally) expected lifetime of a laptop is 3 years. Don't get me wrong! I don't deny that emergencies of that sort do happen to software engineers. Considering the "running cost" of a skilled software engineer, many employers will want to minimise the risk that they get bogged down by lack of a development computer, and the inability to carry a laptop with them on business trips. But then, whose emergency would are they exactly? If an entity has dire needs of your continued ability to work, then they should take the measures and costs. That's just not something that the FFmpeg foundation should bare. Except maybe for Michael, I think the project will do just fine if any developer is out of a computer for a week, to be honest. Finally, the flip side of this is that the ergonomy and performance of your FFmpeg development environment is at least as critical, if not more, to your continued ability to work. In other words, if a developer is critical to the project, then it is detrimental to the project if they use a laptop, because laptops are slower and less healthy. > Also, I think some developers here would disagree with the notion that > desktop machines are always the best option, and I think I that subjects > such as ergonomy, uselessness when not docked, That's simply not a matter of subjective opinion of an hypothetical developer.

We have a lot of donations, but no real way to spend them, let alone agree on anything to do with them.

AVX512 has become more popular in the meantime, with Zen 4 and future AMD CPUs shipping with it, but currently, we have very little AVX512. In short, I'd like a machine which runs an AVX512-capable AMD CPU, and as the world is opening up more and more, I'd like for it to be portable. I've looked around a lot, but as Intel still has a firm monopoly, the options are limited (7940H(S), 7945HX, 7845HX, 8945HS). What I think I've settled for is an ASUS Vivobook Pro 15, with a 7940HS CPU (the second least powerful Zen 4 mobile CPU), 7940HS is the highest Ryzen 9 model from the 7040 series. Not sure where you got second least powerful from. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Ryzen_processors#Phoenix_(7040_series,_Zen_4/RDNA3_based) Was reading Wikipedia, and thought it was a Zen 3, my mistake (and AMD's mistake for making 4 versioning formats): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Ryzen_processors currently trading for 1999.0 EUR on amazon.de. https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Vivobook-Display-R9-7940HS-Windows-Keyboard/dp/B0BRYTS8MR The other alternative I've found is a Lenovo Legion 7 Pro, but it's more expensive at 2399 EUR (currently seems temporarily discounted due to the holidays). I see a Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 available for 1099 EUR. https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Lenovo-Display-Graphics-Blue-Green-Premium/dp/B0CGLPVQHK/ Same amount of RAM, screen resolution and storage, and a Ryzen 7. It's a good suggestion, but I have a better one, that's somewhat more expensive, but has a better screen, better build quality, and is cheaper than the Vivobook: A Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 4 with the following options: - Windows 14 Home (if you don't pick Windows, the OLED display is not available for no reason) - 32Gb of RAM - 1Tb "performance" SSD (it's 70 EUR more, but twice the size) - 2880x1800 OLED monitor - 4-cell battery (only 10 EUR more) - English (EU) keyboard, without backlighting https://www.lenovo.com/de/de/configurator/cto/index.html?bundleId=21K9CTO1WWDE2 For 1.700,11 EUR. It's made of metal, unlike the Yoga, it's possible to repair, targeted at business users, has way more ports (including a full-sized RJ-45!), bigger battery, 3-year warranty instead of a 3-month limited warranty, and a better keyboard. We have the budget, as we were looking for ways to spend it anyway, and it's definitely going to last, so I don't think it's out of an acceptable price range. The Lenovo IdeaPad still hasn't been refreshed and uses a Zen 3 CPU, so it doesn't fit the requirements. I'd take other options, but after all the looking I did, the only other laptops to feature Zen 4 CPUs are rather pricy gaming laptops with high-end NVIDIA GPUs, starting at 2500 EUR and going up. The Vivobook has a discrete Nvidia GTX 4060, which makes it a gaming focused laptop too. Actually, the Yoga Pro 7 also comes with an NVIDIA GPU, a 4050: https://www.lenovo.com/de/de/p/laptops/yoga/yoga-pro-series/Yoga-Pro-7-Gen-8-(14-inch-AMD)/LEN101Y0032 (also mentioned it has an NVIDIA GPU on the amazon link, but they seem to be ashamed of the fact it's a 4050 so they don't mention a model). As i understand it, it *can* have a 4050. Like many laptops, it has different variants with different combinations of CPU and options like discrete GPU. The Amazon link i shared is for one with only the IGP. The ThinkPad P14s does not have an NVIDIA GPU, which is much less of a plus than before, but it does save from having a near-constant constant power hog and Optimus display setup. ___ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe". ___ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".

Frankly, generally speaking, I don't think it makes sense to buy laptops for development *unless* desktop systems are not an option. And here, a desktop system is not only an option, but it is the technically better and already purchased option. A desktop is cheaper, more faster, more serviceable and more incrementally upgradeable.

[FFmpeg-devel] Hardware purchase request: AVX512-capable laptop
As some of you know, my laptop died nearly 2 years ago, and I've been working on a desktop machine, which is currently a Zen 3. AVX512 has become more popular in the meantime, with Zen 4 and future AMD CPUs shipping with it, but currently, we have very little AVX512. In short, I'd like a machine which runs an AVX512-capable AMD CPU, and as the world is opening up more and more, I'd like for it to be portable. I've looked around a lot, but as Intel still has a firm monopoly, the options are limited (7940H(S), 7945HX, 7845HX, 8945HS). What I think I've settled for is an ASUS Vivobook Pro 15, with a 7940HS CPU (the second least powerful Zen 4 mobile CPU), currently trading for 1999.0 EUR on amazon.de. https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Vivobook-Display-R9-7940HS-Windows-Keyboard/dp/B0BRYTS8MR The other alternative I've found is a Lenovo Legion 7 Pro, but it's more expensive at 2399 EUR (currently seems temporarily discounted due to the holidays). The Lenovo IdeaPad still hasn't been refreshed and uses a Zen 3 CPU, so it doesn't fit the requirements. I'd take other options, but after all the looking I did, the only other laptops to feature Zen 4 CPUs are rather pricy gaming laptops with high-end NVIDIA GPUs, starting at 2500 EUR and going up. I'd be happier with the Vivobook. The OLED screen is a nice bonus too. I'd be open to ARM-based Apple laptops too, but we already have a shared M1 machine, and I'm not really a big Fedora fan.
