DP has HDCP too. I get what you’re saying, but there was more profiteering involved even than what you describe.

Because the cartel members want their super high res content only available with Genuine DRM Bullshit™. The gambit won’t work, of course, but they’re gonna try like hell.

Aside from DisplayPort having more bandwidth, as someone else pointed out, HDMI is consumer video garbage. DisplayPort was designed for use as a computer display. Also, HDMI Forum is a cartel that charges ridiculous licensing fees for their proprietary interface. VESA is a standards body and their licensing costs are much more reasonable.

Yes, it’s called a diff and git was designed with exactly this workflow in mind because it’s how the Linux kernel has been developed for decades. GitHub is just a new fangled way to social network-ize the git workflow.

Lol, I’m not Gen Z, bud. And calling your screeds “telling the truth” is quite the stretch. Most of them are just indignant bitching. Yes, we know, there are problems. The bitching is excruciating, especially when you’re the one who keeps poking your own wounds rather than bandaging them.

For most people who claim to be as observant and clued in as yourself, starting a thread like this and being almost universally panned would prompt some self reflection. I hope this is true for you, too.

As someone else said, you sound super toxic, and frankly, insufferable. I’ve had friends like you. They are exceedingly tiresome people to be around.

Your agitation is largely self-induced, as you stomp your feet and whine like a toddler denied his toy rather than mitigating it like an adult. Microsoft is a business. Their motivation is to deliver as little value to the user as possible while making as much money as possible. This has been this way since they won the IBM DOS contract and no longer had to compete on their product alone. You can whine, or you can use something else that better aligns with your needs and values as a user.

Ask your doctor if Xanax is right for you.

This sub merely asks for questions but instead we got a wall of indignant text about how you will pre-ignore any solutions to your complaint.

Quicksy seems like a solution in search of a problem, but Conversations is awesome and this pisses me off. Fuck google. They can’t get antitrusted fast enough, and neither can fruitco. These platforms should not be kingmakers, with app developers living or dying by their hand. It’s not like the play store even conveys any of the purported benefits of a walled garden, like safety from malware.

Someone got a visit offering lots of money to keep quiet on the CCP’s data collection engine.

Kleptographic trash needs to be banned 4 years ago.

Interesting. Reminds me of PC/IX, and it probably similarly doesn’t even enter pm, judging from it running also on an 8086.

286 Protected Mode is very different from 386 PM and there is no way Linux will would run on it.

Never in my life.

Good to know I have never given money to anyone on the list. Just don’t buy products where the manufacturer is even in a position to pull these kinds of bait-and-switch manoevers, then you won’t have to worry about who they are.

it was uncontroversial and undramatic.

The horrors. This is why lemmy is so horrible!

It absolutely is. The thing that isn’t enough is doing a full disk TRIM, but I haven’t seen that recommended. A single pass of dd if=/dev/zero is plenty adequate.

Yes, unless they are OPAL, in which case it’s done the same way as SSDs: throw away the key.

Laughing at all the Hollywood shit in this thread. A single pass erase (or ATA Secure Erase, if they are SSDs that support the command) is more than enough. Nobody is going to waste time and money recovering data of unknown provenance from a landfill.
