DisplayPort gang rise up

First off: cables don’t have version numbers. The host and the client have ports that adhere to a certain spec and the HDMI foundation made that very unclear by incorporating 2.0b into 2.1 and now not every 2.1 port supports the same things. Cables are defined by their max bandwidth, i.e. high speed, ultra high speed or high speed with ethernet. You might see marketers saying something is a 2.1 cable, that just means it is capable of supporting some or all of the 2.1 spec.

Second: the only reason to get new HDMI cables, like you said, is if you currently have a very old one and have devices that actually make use of the bandwidth. And I’ll tell you right now, most of the high speed cables will do just fine. It’s when you start doing 8k120 with HDR and VRR with eARC you’ll need heftier cables. The only external devices to support that, though, are either supplied with cables because their makers don’t want you bottlenecking your device, or they are PCs.

Third: the only reason HDMI is even a thing is because this joint venture behind it successfully lobbied their inferior product to TV manufacturers. DisplayPort has always been and will always be the better interface for video.

Borderlands, particularly 2

Actually the proper term is ‘billenkoek’

If it wasn’t for Goldblum I probably wouldn’t have given it a chance but I’m glad I did.

If you have a limited knowledge of Greek mythology you’ll go ‘wait how was this in the myths’ and look it up and kinda be surprised how true they stay.

If you know all about Greek mythology you’ll have a laugh at how they mangle certain things and put things together that are not supposed to be together.

Thanks for sharing, turned it off on my tv and shared it

I think I need to read up on the fediverse a bit more. Technically it looks like anything in the fediverse at the moment is ActivityPub, even though it supports 3 more protocols. At this point, only Hubzilla uses something other than ActivityPub, even though it also makes use of AP. I was confused because Matrix is also an open protocol and also federated. I had figured everything federated could talk to each other underneath… That’d be the dream, right?

Hmm okay. I’ve logged into Element with my lemmy.world account though

This is actually brilliant. If he wouldn’t have made this error, nobody would’ve read what he said because it’s all a dime a dozen at this point. Most folks will know not to make light of the whole thing but now a lot more people have read his words. I wonder if it was on purpose.

Yeah that looks awesome. I’ll be playing this a lot.

I think Element does what you’re looking for. Get yourself a fediverse account, log in and watch it go. Difficulty, as ever, is getting your contacts to switch.

Oh good, they finally annexed Canada and Mexico

My upstairs neighbour is me but my next door neighbours are this

Because OP keeps breaking them, as stated. I’ve experienced drift after a year as well and Sony make it difficult to get it replaced.

Well FCUK is French Connection United Kingdom and DKNY is Donna Karen New York so… Kinda?

FCUK? I had a glasses frame from them once

The one that goes past Nyenrode, through Loenen

The world is pretty much all explored. ‘We’ are only relevant in supplying lithography machines to the chip industry. Oh and farmers.

I got my first covid shot in Breukelen because it was my only option. Later I would go through it to get to Utrecht because it is so much more beautiful than just taking the A2

Also Brooklyn is named after Breukelen. Vancouver was named after Van Coevorden. Tasmania was named after Abel Tasman.

It’s almost as if the Netherlands used to be relevant in world exploration
