Agreed, but your point will usually be a lot better received if you aren’t a dick. SpaceX is a great example- it’s a great company, but the head of the company taints the whole thing they are trying to achieve.

It comes down to respect. Even if I’m wrong, treating me with respect will mean I’m more likely to respect you, and if I respect you I’m going to respect your argument.

You’re absolutely right, you absolute fuckwad, and well said, even if you are a shit eating waste of a human.

(Sorry I don’t mean it, I feel bad now…)

You’ve got good points, but your needless insults makes your argument fall on deaf ears.

The cheaper ones are generally pretty finicky, and often introduce weird compression. You’ll often find the stated achievable distances to require very good cabling with very good terminations.

If using cat cable was a necessity, I’d put the extra money down and get HDbaseT units. But I’d be pretty seriously looking into the various fully moulded active HDMI cables or even better, SDI solutions.

It’s a thing, but it’s either cheap and really sucks, or expensive and kind of sucks.

My response is similar, usually the good old ‘Do you shut the door when you shit?’.

When we start getting specific, I’ll often try and frame data harvesting in a much more visceral way. If they say they don’t care that xyz keeps track of everyone they talk to, I ask them to imagine an actual person standing behind them, making notes on a clipboard about every interaction they have with someone, and how that would make them feel.

My understanding is that cookies were generally just used as a fingerprint- it’s just a unique ID that is used to tie your device to their database, which is where the information is kept.

That sounds like carrying an ID card with extra steps.
