I wonder if 33.3.3 will have 4k120 HDMI lol The fix to that has to go to kernel+firmwares, doesn't it? | 16:10:55 |
| pedrohlc ⚡️ | With MicroLED gaining traction, those displays will get more common in 2024... | 16:11:50 |

The fix to that has to go to kernel+firmwares, doesn't it? The fix of that has to be approved by the HDMI Forum | 16:28:12 |
| K900 | Which is the worst part | 16:28:16 |

The year is 20xx, humanity is entirely controlled by the HDMI Forum did you mean the pci-sig? | 19:45:41 |
| K900 | Honestly out of those two | 19:45:56 |
| K900 | I'd take PCISIG any day | 19:45:59 |

the remaining DisplayPort interfaces shall be hunted down and defeated, for a safe and secure society! Wasn't DP like the new thingy? | 22:22:08 |
| @sr.estegosaurio:matrix.org | I'm incredibly out of the loop regarding those specs. | 22:22:27 |

Wasn't DP like the new thingy? It is | 22:37:00 |
| K900 | That's the joke | 22:37:03 |
| K900 | The HDMI Forum is, for the lack of a better word, evil | 22:37:12 |

The HDMI Forum is, for the lack of a better word, evil How can a standard body like the HDMI become evil? | 22:41:50 |
| K900 | Oh very easily | 22:41:58 |
| @sr.estegosaurio:matrix.org | It's a cable I use to get pixels from one place to another. | 22:42:13 |

Oh very easily What have they done? 💀 | 22:42:31 |
| K900 | I'd argue most standards bodies are actually evil | 22:42:40 |
| K900 | And the ones that aren't are the exception | 22:42:49 |
| K900 | And generally the answer to "what have they done" is "pricing" | 22:44:37 |
| K900 | But the HDMI Forum is particularly bad at this | 22:48:32 |
| K900 | To even make a device, you have to be a member of the Forum, so you can see the specs | 22:49:00 |
| K900 | That's $10k/year | 22:49:06 |
| K900 | Not a lot of money for a megacorp, sure, and they have a cheaper option for startups | 22:49:31 |
| K900 | That option? $5k/year and a fixed $1/unit sold, up to 10000 units | 22:49:49 |
| K900 | But K, you will say, doesn't that mean startups will pay more money if they ship more than 5000 units? lol, I answer, enlightened. lmao, even. | 22:50:20 |
| K900 | But surely now that you've bought your way into the cool kids' club, you can just take the spec, implement it on your device and ship it | 22:50:58 |
| K900 | Nope, says the HDMI Forum, there's also patent fees, and those fees are per connector, thank you very much | 22:51:25 |
