HDCP is separate from HDMI. You can be spec compliant with HDMI at any version and not support HDCP. That said I would be surprised that a display controller in common use would not support HDCP. 4K or 8K content sure, but what about HDR? E

But would you pay 2x for an industrial panel? These panels might last longer at brighter drive outdoors and in well lit areas but they won’t look anywhere near as good as a consumer OLED for viewing movies and gaming because of both panel a

Runes are not a Unicode concept - that’s a Golangism. Basically a code point. Also in terms of Unicode, graphemes are even more relevant to the programming side than glyphs - unless you’re writing a renderer.

A bit ironic since StackOverflow began life as the C#/.NET QA site - and nevermind copilot is a Microsoft joint.

Definition and declaration have specific meanings in C and C++. A typedef is part of a declaration. Declarations can be definitions but a typedef is not a definition in particular. https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/

This isn’t particularly uncommon or without precedent. This is just treating SIZE_MAX as the sentinel value of an otherwise unsigned type. This is what is done for std::dynamic_extent in C++ for instance.

Sorry. I was not appreciative of the uncalled for personal attacks (not from you) - that have now been mostly edited away.

Why do stage musicians use wireless microphones? Is it because they have a hatred strictly for aesthetic reasons? Nobody said you can’t use your damn wired mouse if it makes you happy - but latency is not an actual reason to prefer a wired

Buddy, I posted a link - the actual difference in latency in time to click and movements with wireless mice with dedicated receivers. Some do better than wired models - in any event the latency of the RF link is on the order or hundreds of

For what it’s worth mice like the Mxmaster have a usb-c charging port in the sensible location and can be used while being charged. They also give you pretty fair warning before they die.

There’s essentially no lag in a dedicated wireless receiver mouse - the additional latency is dwarfed by the baseline latency of the hardware and software. https://www.rtings.com/mouse/tests/control/latency

What’s the incentive? None. There is no internal process. You’ve been working for a company that has had for its entire history a cash cow that essentially has no customer facing contact for its survival - you wouldn’t think to go there. Ke

Agree it’s tough. The non enthusiasts that don’t give a shit and aren’t interested in a cash outlay are in the sub $500 market. Once you break that point you’re unlikely to want to save a couple hundred bucks. I would have definitely had st

They also conflated PayPal, Apple Pay and Google pay, so I’m not sure I agree that what they were saying is “most people prefer PayPal”. PayPal has a tremendous market share - not sure I’d agree that it’s really a preference.

Your metric is asinine. I use PayPal only when absolutely necessary and/or basically low value items where I don’t care too much. I have a Facebook account too, doesn’t mean meta still isn’t screwed. And why is this a popularity contes

But I think they’re talking about if you’re doing content defined chunking of a pack or archive file - inserting data should only affect insertion chunks + 1. And since it’s content defined - those chunks are necessarily not constant size.

No it doesn’t - take that singularity bullshit elsewhere. Gordon Moore never aligned himself with that pseudoscientific nonsense https://cs.stanford.edu/people/eroberts/cs181/projects/2010-...

He made a very specific prediction - it didn’t pan out - that there have been near misses and even global degradation events multiple times in the past 3 decades is not relevant. He admitted he was wrong and literally ate his words.
