alt Hacker NewsI still hope a future FFmpeg release will make Intel QSV encoding available on Windows laptops where the manufacturer disabled this capability from the ACPI tables. The only way to use it on these laptops is currently FFmpeg on Linux.

how common is this with laptop manufacturers, and why would they do this? what brands are doing this so I can know to avoid them in the future.
They can't, unfortunately.
Linux's drivers makes that happen, not ffmpeg; ffmpeg merely calls the API.
Intel's own first party drivers simply follow the ACPI tables, Linux ignores them.
