Not true. HDMI 1.4 has enough bandwidth to do 2048x1080 at 96fps (or 4096×2160 at 24fps).

It's stupid. He's comparing low-level Win32 API to a high-level wrapper called Qt. Notice how in his Qt example he lost control of the window style, icon, brush, cursor, styling of the message box, and a dozen of other little things that yo

I'm a semi-professional photographer, and I have around 3TB of photos. Pros can easily hit 16TB in a year or two. HD videos are much much worse. The main problem is how to upload all that stuff. Even at 20 mbit it would take 77 days to uplo
