Mostly unable to make use of certain features. Say your display supports 4k @ 120Hz. If you have an improper cable you might be able to get 4k30 or 4k60, but not 4k120.

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.

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

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.

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

Zeeland still exists, it’s between Zuid-Holland and Belgium

Something like Ryzen 5 / high i5/low i7 with 4060Ti or 6800XT/7700XT. I think you’ll be better off going a bit higher than that. But then again, a pc does more than just gaming so if you would want it just to game with a console has better optimisation for lower price.

Maybe this is this Yugoslavia I’ve been hearing about. I can never find it on the map.

I think the 70 model is best to upgrade every once in a while. I went from a 1070Ti/1080p to 1070Ti/1440p. Then it started struggling, so now I’m on 4070/1440p. If you’d have a xx60 you’d be upgrading every gen.

That said, rumour has it that the 50xx’s won’t be a big improvement over 40xx. Most likely what comes after 50xx will be a big one.

So depends on what you play but the 40 series does all the DLSS fancies the 50 will probably. So 4070ti super for my money would be fine, 4080 super might be nice if you can get it.

Y… es. Yes. No. Yes

Considering 1 percent of 12 million is 120k I guess that’s about right.

Nick Kroll does not look impressed. Then again, he never does.

I think the reposted one had Saddam Hussain in the red on the bottom step and it was reposted twice within the hour.

How can I laugh at this? There is no Saddam Hussain
