1. It has it’s DRM implementation, that, albeit weak and useless, was designed to manage what you can or cannot plug these cords into, e.g. capture cards. That’s probably an advantage for Sony and others.
2. HDMI specs are <10m or bust, so for big rooms or video prod on HDMI you need amplifiers. They may be included in the cord itself, but that makes it one-directional, lol.
3. Not to say that HDMI cords are expensive and you also can’t press their ends to the lenght needed yourself, unlike what you can do with SDI cords.
4. No mechanisms preventing them against just popping out from the socket. Anecdotally, I think there’s something weird with their construction maybe, that in my experience made metal connectors suddenly come off completely around 5 times this year, while no other connectors suffered that faith, even dumb VGA that are prone to have their pins wrecked.
5. HDMI is rigidly limited to what it can with what standard and has no interesting things going for it imho, at least no daisy chaining multiple displays one after another that DP can.

I hope I won’t come off as a combatative redditor-type, but I pretty much dislike the framing sewn into your comment.

When you put a regime that has proven it does not care about civilian lives or human rights into a situation where they have nothing to lose, you are putting innocent lives at risk.

Of course Trump and Netanyahu don’t care about human lives, either.

You can put a Hormuz strait between these two lines, ooof. No, full stop, just no. The opinionated tone skewed towards western terrorist states who started it all is unbearable.

At some point you have to ask yourself, “is this about winning or about saving lives?” … how many innocent lives are you willing to put at risk to “win” this battle of masculine wills?

It is a good general perception of any war, but in this case we know for sure nothing moral was taken into consideration. It is barbarians pillaging land and resources, showing their power. There is no single thought about liberating iranian people from the yore of authoritarian fanatics, but the opposite - both US and Israel would only benefit from having a foe for their forever war, and they put decades of agression into it, that waves back and support their new fascist endeavors.

Your SunTzinian message of letting the foe escape is fitting, because once again the stable state US topped would likely become either more authoritarian or a distributed free for all incubator for civil wars and terror acts. Both radical leaders and western warmonger would feed from that like vampires. They always win when we suffer.

What the fuck?

Why CIA doesn’t know if their army shot these missles or someone else? Why do they rely on video evidence? Are they freelance OSInters or a government agency with full access to confidential data? Are everyone just running around with scissors in a clown makeup in there?

This article conveys the levels of humiliation it wasn’t designed to. This scary CIA unable tp communicate with other bodies and can only aproximate or guess what they did. With how many troubles Trump brought onto other agencies, I suppose it’s not any better elsewhere.

And that’s, ladies and gentelmen, the Russian-Japanese war remade in color.

Joining ICE, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Boot

I am probably not as harsh talking as you, but I find this blanket forgiveness for our boys in camo kinda worrying too. One day all Lemmy angers at ICE recruits in tacticool gear shooting and kidnapping people, the second day we clap to DEATH DEATH TO IDF, and on the third day we are supposed to mourn an american war pilot who died doing missions in a foreign country on behalf of Trump and Netanyahu.

A career soldier, not a draftee, who could have chosen not to join the military or, when faced with inevitable active participation - get (dishonorably) discharged, just went with it. Dude, there are a corpus of laws about death and funerals on your job, you thought you would sit it out, or worse, you wanted to outsource your own personal misery to the lands you can’t even point on the map? Or, say, you didn’t choose it but just went with the flow your whole life? What if your best pals could’ve invited you to Abu Ghraib - could you say no? Could you choose anything for yourself? Are you a fucking person at all?

There is a rehabilitation arc to anyone, even to the worst of the worst if they choose to quit doing bad things and/or work at undoing damage they dealt. Fate wasn’t so fair to this guy as he was caught ready to airbomb iranians, without a second chance, what a bummer. If it wasn’t for that, he could’ve got 6 figures salary and gone through this pain with a personal therapist, reflecting on what he has done and finding his peace at last. No more screaming iranians schoolgirls on fire at night, only quality sleep. Thanks to the sponsor of this podcast, MyPillow.

China has also implemented the world’s most stringent standards for battery safety. They require automakers to ensure that batteries don’t catch fire or explode for at least two hours after a single cell enters thermal runaway. If it does go ablaze, Chinese automakers are experimenting with some unusual ways of protecting the car and occupants from the battery fire.

I like it way more than charging speeds. But also - I’m interested in how many recharge cycles they supposedly can live through, and that’s not in the article.

I do agree it’s limited to a small scope of New York-based smaller LLMs, but if you read the news you know why exactly this bill occured - just now Mamdani gave up on a useless chatbot made with local budget by his predecessor Adams: https://www.thecity.nyc/2026/01/30/mamdani-unusable-ai-chatbot-budget/ It was indeed giving inaccurate legal recomendations on city’s website. I think the better result that can happen to that bill is it becoming a trend across cities and states as, I suspect, New York administration wasn’t the only one falling for this scam.

A nitpick, but America won’t have Gitmo in that scenario tho. Displacing american people to random countries now is deeply rooted in the premise it’s okay to have a torture camp franchized over to places out of everyone’s sight. It wasn’t okay before and it’s not now, and serious country with some sense and a accountability would not employ such tactic.

Too early for the Metaverse, just in time for Metawankers.

MicroSlop 🤝 Jeffrey Epstein

indifference to consent

Posting them around rich people’s private airfields would improve their footprint even further.

accidental discharge

Them marching proudly in their fathers’ footsteps. To what we’d say good, but not nearly enough.

The LLM writing this feels almost sentient lol.

Imagine having a collection of Wikipedia backups and disclosing that on a first date.

What are we reading today, babe? 2020q1, the Covid hoaxes? Yeah, that’s the shit.

Swirl is destfuctive like almost everything in raster graphics with recompressing, but unswirling it back makes a good approximation in somehow reduced quality. If the program or a code of effect is known, e.g. they did it in Photoshop, you just drag a slider to the opposite side. Coming to think of it, it could be a nice puzzle in an adventure game or one another kind of captcha.

Your link works, thank you. A timely upload with many Parenti quotes on the Fediverse rn. Haven’t checked this guy yet.

Besides technical nuances, trademarking JavaScript, bribery and so on, the co-founder and past CEO of Oracle, Larry Ellison, who was briefly the richest guy on Earth, is now involved with USA’s Republican party e.g. on TikTok regional sale’s deal and one of the persons making Oracle openly support israeli war efforts.

A cup of LSD and depression is not a problem anymore.

You aren’t my pal, Pamela. Wtf she is called Pam, it’s degrading and also makes us treat her actions less serious than they are.

She’s got conflicted between releasing pedo files and releasing pedophiles. What a struggle.
