like u can't do shit gaming wise on it which is the only thing an ampere could potentially do with a dedicated gpu. why don't the m1 macs support external gpus again? no thunderbolt in Linux?

@chfour im not 100% sure but i thinks thunderbolt requires licensing. idk why it wouldn't be backwards compatible with usb4 though. im just Not Sure.

@autumn yeah the thunderbolt Situation is kinda funny. thunderbolt itself is gatekept by intel but usb4 basically equals thunderbolt 4 and thats open to everyone lol so it doesnt Really matter anymore the way i understand it

@autumn it's lowkey pretty usable for like patented-codecs (h264 or even 4k hevc) hardware video decoding (even though it overheats and dies after 5 minutes (i love you 37°c brazil weather On Average))
