That's the US. EU is fine.
The US largely has laws against reverse engineering hardware for the purpose of circumventing copyright protection. But that's not happening here. What other laws were you thinking of?
The USA has fairly lax laws regarding reverse engineering. It's just that proprietary software EULAs typically forbid it -- and you have to agree to a binding EULA in order to use the software.
There were a number of court cases, many involving game consoles (incl. Sega v. Accolade, Galoob v. Nintendo, Sony v. Connectix) that establish that as long as you're not distributing verbatim or other infringing copies of another company's work such as software or chip designs (and you haven't signed any contractual agreements otherwise), you're in the clear. To establish that you are in the clear, clean-room reverse engineering is the recommended approach: one party does the reverse engineering yielding a spec; the other implements the software based on the spec.

#83The November 2020 M1 machines are nearly getting to daily usability in Linux. Support for screen brightness adjustment, the webcam, speakers and mic are the remaining things for day to day use for me. All look like they should be working in 6 months-1 year. It's a bit of a shame that the RAM is so limited on all those platforms - I can't imagine it being enough to load many electron apps in a few years time.

As long as you didn't get one of the single-channel SSD models, it would make plenty of sense to give yourself a 16 gig swapfile (or something of the sort).

good to know that. asahi linux should be fine, the reverse engineering and driver development are done by different people.

#87This whole linux on Apple M1/M2 thing is the best proof that Linux is always a very good fit fort next gen hardware/software/developers. new hardware, arm based apple silicon here, is now challenging the monopoly of x86. after such a long waiting, we finally have a mature alternative platform to choose from - and it is performance is pretty good. new language, rust here, is getting its way into the linux kernel. this…

#89Some added context: Many may be reading this the first time and wondering, What gives with the NVIDIA drivers (Nouveau)? To put it simply, NVIDIA screwed third-party drivers by requiring a ever-changing encrypted and signed blob, hidden deep within the proprietary driver package, to be sent to the GPU every time it boots. Otherwise, you can't change the clock speed of your NVIDIA GPU from the boot clock speed, which…
Hasn't NVIDIA been making pretty big steps towards a compromise on that front with the open source linux drivers they released a few months ago?

#90what’s the app he used for the overlay avatar?
It's mentioned in the description for the video: "Animated using Inochi2D by Luna the Foxgirl (https://twitter.com/LunaFoxgirlVT https://twitter.com/Inochi2D)"
And going through the twitter link you can find the homepage for that software is at https://inochi2d.com/ (the other twitter link gets you the homepage for the developer of that software at https://github.com/LunaTheFoxgirl).
