Amazing, thank you for this! I love ffmpeg so much. If ever was an underappreciated workhorse that you'll find enabling almost everything people do with video.
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.
ITT: the sourest of grapes.
Plex could be held liable as a vicarious enabler of infringement. Your suggestion that they turn a blind eye would endanger their very existence. Of course they are going to capitulate. It's a wonder they still exist as it is.
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.
