The supported version of DisplayPort in that TV is on par (-ish) with HDMI 2.0; and not enough for HDR 4k120; which is one of the selling points of HDMI2.1.

My understanding is that the HDMI 2.1 port situation on TVs is, weirdly enough, a SoC limitation from a single vendor. Almost everyone (apart from... Samsung and LG, IIRC) is using MediaTek SoC for the brains for the TVs, and they just seem

I don’t make the purchasing decision for my employer, but I certainly have to deal with their fallout, so I’ll keep complaining if that’s okay with you.

The I/O blocks are similar, but very much not the same between the different Axy/Mz chips. They're different even between A19 Pro in an iPhone Air and the one in 17 Pros! The Air one doesn't support 10Gbps USB-C.

I've had multiple USB-C chargers broken like this. Now, admittedly, "being yanked by a robot vacuum and falling on the ground" is outside the design parameters for a port; but I absolutely had USB-C ports fail in a way that L

This argument could be put in a museum as a perfect illustration of the "Perfect is the enemy of good" maxim. Would just relying on the information from your employers cover all possible edge-cases? No. Would it dramatically simpl

It looks and feels much better to many (but not all) people. I don't really know how you expect that to translate into a ROI point.

You've been lucky in that the countries you've travelled to all stamped your passport. This gets much murkier in the EU, or being a non-citizen with Global Entry traveling to the US, etc. To get a driving license in Japan without

I mistyped in the other post! But 120Gbps (with 40Gbps in the other direction at the same time) is still _very fast_.

I wouldn't pay to be given any kind of work, but there are some aspects of my job that I find more or less 'fun'. Hunting bugs that people have given up on or have no ideas on how to tackle is near the top of that list.

Most importantly, you also need to find and enable the handwriting IME on your OS; which is... not a reasonable thing to ask of someone who doesn't actually type that language on a daily basis.

Would you say any of these are "not that onerous" compared to copying the character? The argument here isn't that it's _impossible_ to do that with copying disabled, it's that it's _more annoying_. By providing

"Purpose of your visit" in the context of a multi-entry visa with a ten year validity period, is a rather nebulous term. I don't really remember, it's been 10y since I last had to fill out a DS-160, but I don't thin

They don't have "both", it's literally (usually) issued as single visa sticker whenever you apply for either. You seem to try to make a bigger distinction between B1 and B2 than the US government does.

They're not very different visas; they're very often (always?) issued as B1/B2 visa.

My B1/B2 visa literally says B1/B2 on it. I have stamps from the US border that literally say B1/B2 on them. If anything is undermining anyone's credibility here, it is not the article doing that.
