When did this happen?

Oh my, I was thinking that there has been a recent development and they sold out or something.

I had some interactions with him in VLC forum and he was still active there answering questions personally.

I hope they continue the good work.

What happened with VLC? This is the first time I am hearing it.

What is this Arc?

In my case it is just for the present session. At least let me play Solitaire while the updates are running. And I always shutdown at the end of my day or end of updates hence uptime is not an issue for me.

I believe it is still better due to raw material availability?
