The problem is they didn’t initiate the DMCA process at all, nor did the report submitted have anything to do with Copyright Infringement. They submitted a fraud/phishing report, as if the domain itself was serving or facilitating malicious content harmful to someone who visits it… So forget the DMCA process, this was straight up just corner cutting on the part of the firm representing Funko that misrepresented the nature of the situation as a whole.
Also worth noting is their history as an IP mill. Dead By Daylight is a surprise hit amongst many a licensed deal to produce games that would nearly qualify as shovelware in most cases over the last 20+ years. DbD gives them some independence, but they’re still largely a “studio for hire” by anyone who needs them.
I firmly believe this Quest exclusivity junk is stifling VR in a way that sets it back quite a lot. There’s a lot of interesting ideas, but the closed ecosystem that Meta/Facebook has crafted is detrimental overall. It limits the peripherals, the fidelity, and it doesn’t even have the kind of competition something like the old console wars did. It’s just dumb.
If your only intention is to use the card for encoding, I recommend picking up an A380 instead. The A770 is a surprisingly performant gaming card for newer titles, but all of the available ARC cards have the same encoder.
Since the A380 is typically single slot, and fits within the 75W spec, you don’t even need an extra power cable for it if you wanted it as a secondary card too.
Intel seemed to fall behind kinda hard w/ regards to CPU/Motherboard features until much later on. Supposing you aren’t working with parts you already have, everything from 1st generation Ryzen onwards would have rebar support. They can be had very cheaply too, and work on any AM4 board.
You may also find a BIOS update allows some older chipsets to support rebar. It’s a tad flaky depending on the manufacturer though.
It also doesn’t mean anything. It’s not even slang, it’s just a meme reference.
