That's not what they said in the quote in the article.
"Per the Plan, you are eligible for Enhanced severance pay benefits of: four weeks of base salary for your first year of employment, plus one week's salary for each additional year of employment, based on your most recent hire date, up to a combined maximum of 26 weeks of base salary."
my workflow does not work at all with the secondary screen switching in sync with the primary screen
Same here. My workaround so far has been to put the windows that belong on the secondary to the "Keep Window on All Desktops" mode.
I believe the error was in the AV1 license NOT having a “if you enforce patent-license-fees on this codec, THEN you can’t use this codec” type of coercion…
I thought those provisions were usually enforced among the members of a patent pool, to ensure that any licensing customer can trust in the pools word to not be shaken down a second time by an individual pool member later.
So since AM1 isn't forming a patent pool to sell licenses, and Dolby isn't part of the Alliance for Open Media, it wouldn't really apply either way, no?
Oh wait, actually there is something like this, see point 1.3 here:
