But my fuck tabs!

But that’s what the phrase is saying. If there isn’t pain, there isn’t gain. So by having pain, you can have gain.

Fair point. Tone was hard to read

if they have old systems that no longer receive BIOS updates

You just went the Microsoft route there: “their system is too old and doesn’t have TPM, they need a new system to stay secure”

Or the BF6 route “you need to have Secure Boot enabled to play our game”

This just creates more e-waste and doesn’t really solve the problem as their user base will happily follow them for much longer than you’d probably think.

You’re right that it’s not that, but the Germans probably have a word for it.

Early 40s and 20/20. I’m guessing you’re pretty young.

They used to not be that way. I have 5 devices (couple connects, amps and plays) that I’ve kept on S1. Haven’t gotten any new features, but never lost any in their whole S2 debacle. Going 10+ years strong.

Welcome to Lemmy, we need more of this here!

I mean it doesn’t have to be a dick that triggers the canon. You could use corn too if you want. Bonus points if they ate corn too.

Honestly my money is kind of on the US starting the next one.

Edited title to reflect the question is about countries, the groups that actually control the militaries, vs demographic groups.

I remember Walmart tried to go into Germany and failed because they didnt understand the culture there. Greeters turned most people off for example.

I mentioned this in another thread but “DP Alt” (DP over USB-C) is not a default feature of the USB spec and is an optional extension that needs to be added via additional hardware and supported by the device. At that point you’re basically adding in DP with just a different port.

To that end, it’s still the same thing that TV manufacturers just aren’t adding in DP support regardless of connector.

I’ve honestly never used it for playback but since it can rip 4K at 2x-4x playback speed I would assume it’d be just fine. The issue is the system you build would have to have a card that can output Atmos bitstreams as well as HDR.

As for ripping performance I’m over 500 DVD, BD, 4K and it’s doing great. You do have to give it 30 minutes between 4K discs to cool down.

The only down side is DP Alt mode is optional and must be enabled and supported by the internal controller and system. In order to do that, you might as well just go full DP at that point and somehow I don’t think the manufacturers are gonna spend more money on that. Most likely the USB-C port only supports a mass storage class device.

Sadly no. He packed it up about 6 months ago. However if you can get your hands on an ASUS BW-16D1HT, you can flash the firmware yourself. I could have done that but he was offering it for a negligible difference and it was just quicker to do that method.

I do not understand the point of scraping Lemmy. Just set up your own instance, or hell, just mimic the open AcitivityPub protocol and get all the results delivered to you in a nicely packaged json file for you to parse however you want.

I bought a modified BD drive from a person who was flashing libredrive supported firmware and then got a registered copy of MakeMKV.

It’s been stupid simple for me to rip any BD or 4K disc that I can get my hands on. If you choose the “backup” option it spits it out to a folder structure which then use mkisofs to create an iso of things.

Honestly my biggest problem is constantly running out of hard drive space because I want to keep the original, uncompressed isos. What’s nice though is once i have the iso I can pop it back into MakeMKV and just extract what I want. I can then run that through Handbrake and compress to my exact specifications.

No, no. MLS becomes the NFL so there’s no confusion that it’s football.

I don’t see “relevance for HDMI” ending anytime soon. Tell me how easy it is to find a TV with DP inputs. Nearly 99% of consumer gear uses HDMI.
