Even PIS doesn't dare suggest Poland should leave EU. They complain and grumble, and would likely want to leave but know saying it out loud is political suicide.

Nothing makes them talk about gun control faster than minorities arming.

While doing that for 80 companies is not feasible I doubt all 80 members are opposed. Valve and AMD could talk to video card, monitor, laptop and handheld makers to pad the membership enough.

As for the democracy question a quick skim of their bylaws suggests it's close enough.

So far they managed to help Trump opposition in all those places

Good luck with that - Poland is one of the most pro-EU countries with over 80% of poles believing that EU membership is beneficial.

AMD has had the code ready to include in their open source driver for a while and has been trying to get HDMI Forum to let them release it for a long time https://www.phoronix.com/news/HDMI-2.1-OSS-Rejected

Fewer than 80 members. 15k/year membership fee and very lax joining requirements. $1.2M gets you majority allowing you do to whatever even with 100% of current members opposing :P

HDMI Forum has fewer than 80 members and membership fee is 15,000 USD/year. Valve could spin up 80 companies, have them join the forum for a low low price of 1.2M USD and outvote remaining members to open source the entire spec.

They charge a fee for access to the spec and maintain who can claim their products are HDMI compliant and require compliance testing on those products.

An open source implementation would make that spec public and strip a lot of control they hold.

Imagine you start researching something else before you've had the opportunity to finish your last. I have 10-20 tabs open for each of several in progress projects on my tablet

Slightly different part, same process. The bigger bottleneck is packaging - HBM is 3d stacked.

Same memory production capacity can be allocated to ddr5 or to hbm and openai signed contracts with sk hynix and samsung, the two largest ram manufacturers in the world, and bought a significant percentage of next year's production.

DDR5 prices started spiking as that deals impact propagated through the supply chain. I bought a 2x32 6800 Cl30 kit for 195 euro 12 days ago. It was 330 euro 4 days later.
