ruffslHDMI Forum Rejects Open-Source HDMI 2.1 Driver Support Sought By AMD - Phoronix
f00f/erisThis really bothers me. Closed standards locked behind a licensing fee may as well not be standards at all, in my opinion.
TurboWafflzI don’t understand why any hardware uses HDMI anymore anyway, what does it have that displayport doesn’t?
Decades of being the standard in a/v. That’s like asking, why don’t we get rid of gas stations and just install electric chargers? Well, everybody’s got gas powered cars.
TimeSquirrelHDMI only had about four good years to itself before DisplayPort showed up. In contrast, the RCA port stuck around for damn near 100 years.
We also didn’t have digital signals till DVI in 1999, HDMI in 2002 and display port in 2006
