Didn’t the deal close in 2022?

The Peter Principle in practice. A Quibi exec is taking over for him, I shit you not.

Major props to those causing a ruckous internally there. That said, they likely fully expected a backlash and likely didn’t care. Anyone who cares can be replaced by another sycophant, at a reduced salary even.

HDCP and media production are often at odds with each other. It is broad overreach of content protection. It is super frustrating.

And sanction his other companies.

That’s why I added it as an addendum. Even sourcing HDMI cables without HDCP is getting very very rare.

The HDMI standard needs to declare cable bankruptcy and start over with a new port design. We all have way too many HDMI cables supporting 23 years of standards. There is nothing in the specification to clearly label, across brands, what type of hdmi specification is supported by the cable or port.

Also, the DRM baked into the specification is such bullshit.

What an incredibly stupid decision.

The artist spent a lot of time on that!
