Why care about the ideological stance of a company that holds a significant amount of your data?

High Speed is the second slowest cable and the slowest one still being sold. Last time I bought an HDMI cable, I didn’t even know there was anything slower than 1080p@60hz so I just assumed that was “Standard” and, by buying “High Speed”, I was getting something better. Yes, I should have done more research before buying but the point is that calling the slowest cable still being sold “High Speed” is confusing and deceptive. That’s why I want them to be forced to label the cables with the bandwidth or version.

Yeah, that’s why I said somebody needs to force them. Like how food can’t say chocolate if it doesn’t actually have chocolate.

That makes a lot sense and I didn’t even thought of that.

It is, but I’m just ranting about what I want so I’m allowed to ask for fairy dust and tasty sugar-free candy.

It’s probably my choice of gym but I see almost no young people in it. It’s mostly 30-somethings that figured out that eating garbage all the time and staying thin stops at 30. Yes, that includes me.

Nah, here’s the real reason. When I was the nightclubbing age, you could get a bottle of booze, 6 cans of coke and mineral water for like $50. Last time I went to a club, I paid $120 for the same thing. People in the 18-25 age range don’t have $120 to drop every Friday.

I mean, sure, but we’re assuming they’d have to be truthful.

Seems like you got a perfect is the enemy of good kinda situation going on.

Come on. You say it like it’s a compromise.

Can someone force cable manufacturers to print the bandwidth or at least the version on the fucking cable already?!

I’m pretty sure it is a symptom of BPD.

For a second, I thought Canonical had made a YouTube front-end.

I just hope this doesn’t backfire like with the switch to paper bags to plastic bags back to paper to polyester bags that are actually worse for the environment back to plastic but now it’s Green™ plastic that doesn’t last for shit so we’re back to paper bags.

Those responses are not because OP doesn’t like smartphones, they’re because people correctly called out their disingenuous bullshit. Imagine I make a post saying I can’t think of a single way tractors have improved my life. People tell me all the ways tractors have improved everybody’s lives and I go “well, I buy my vegetables from the supermarket so tractors are still useless to me”. I’m basically announcing I’m not interested in having a good faith conversation and am just here to be antagonistic. People don’t like that.

For example, I am being overtly hostile to OP and not to you, even though you’re both arguing the same point. The difference is that you’re doing it in good faith.

Getting downvoted isn’t getting piled on, it just means that people disagree with your post and OP made several antagonistic posts; of course people are gonna disagree. You’re seeing violence where there is none.

Hostility doesn’t have to be rude, just antagonistic. OP is dismissing everybody’s valid points and just flat-out ignoring a bunch of them when it doesn’t suit his preconceived point of view. That’s literally the definition of antagonistic.

Yeah, I’m just being pedantic.

Yeah, that’s my point. Being part of the continent is something that almost never comes up. We call ourselves whatever we are and it’s never “Americanos”.
