“They didn’t read the instructions” is a massive design failure. A good design doesn’t require reading instructions, especially for things that users are used to like cars.

What if we bring it outside the environment?

Just like the “verified” badge on Twitter eh?

I’m skeptical that governments know about these solutions given how little people in general understand technology. It’s a “we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas” situation. Ideally they should have experts available to consult with when making laws to prevent BS like this.

Does the Supreme Court have jurisdiction over civil cases?

That certainly would weed out disabled candidates…

I have an old blade server that I got from work many years ago. I never set it up but just opened it up to see what’s in it and discovered it had DDR2 memory. Interested?

I agree with this in principle. I think a tag like “rumor” might be useful as a first step? Escalate if it becomes more of a problem.

It may also be worth differentiating between a rumor and a rumor. A rumor of AMD coming out with XYZ at CES is different from “some random website is claiming that HL3 is days away from being announced”

If I’m a TV manufacturer, I have less incentive to have both connector types because it increases cost and complexity while only appealing to a very small subset of users. It will take leadership at those companies to take a bit of a leap of faith that the effort is valuable as a long term plan because it will take other manufacturers to make the ecosystem. Couple that with the fact that leadership at companies tend to not be enthusiasts or technically inclined and it makes it difficult, but not impossible. I really hope we can move electronics towards DisplayPort just so it’s an open standard instead of the HDMI for-profit model.

I agree with the sentiment but we’re dealing with a chicken and egg problem. If no TVs have DisplayPort, who would buy a console that can’t be used with their TV?

The circlejerk of tech bros and busidiots who haven’t built a damn thing in their lives.

MBAs are mortal enemies of software engineers. Couple that with what one former CEO of mine said: “engineers have very well tuned bullshit detectors” and you arrive at the problem…
