Daily Tech News 7 February 2025

Top Story

Arm has abandoned its quest to revoke Qualcomm's Arm license, largely because it already lost its lawsuit. (The Register)

Nuvia, which had an Arm license, developed a new Arm core.

Qualcomm, which had an Arm license, bough Nuvia to acquire the new core. This is where Qualcomm's new range of laptop chips originated.

Arm sued both Qualcomm and Nuvia, arguing that although both companies had paid Arm for a license they mumble mumble mumble and therefore mumble.

The jury laughed at them.

Tech News

Qualcomm says its CPUs can be found in 10% of Windows laptops priced over $800. (Hot Hardware)

Not sure whether that is good or bad.
The former head of the USDS - the department now running the DOGE team - has resigned effective immediately. (The Verge) (archive site)

He stated explicitly that he is not taking the fork. Apparently someone already stole it.

Musical Interlude

Axel F, the theme from Beverly Hills Cop, played more or less on an original Amiga. It looks like this is an emulator, and it has 1MB of RAM where a stock Amiga 1000 had just 512K, but pretty close.

The Amiga had four sound channels playing 8-bit audio at 15.75kHz, so for anything other than electronic music it didn't sound quite so good. But it nailed this piece.

Disclaimer: Close only counts in horseshoes and retrocomputing.
