HMDI 1.2 and HDMI 2.0 are both digital.
HDMI 2.0 is capable of providing better picture and sound than HDMI 1.2.

You left out the part where you told him you were currently running RCA cables to your 4k HDR 10bit TV.

The day SOCOM for PS3 was released they had a patch the same size as the original game. Physical media is almost meaningless for online games.

Unless you're willing to go around stating that:
- (the power to process nuclear fuel) is greater than (the energy from utilizing nuclear fuel)
- nuclear power in practical terms is a net loss of energy...
Then you're just beaking off.

> Only at an absurdly high cost. Fuel reprocessing is ridiculously expensive.

Hmmmm.. if the fuel reprocessing is powered by Nuclear power to save costs. :0

It's almost like using computers to accelerate computer design or using machines to create industrial machines.

If Broadcom's strategy was to focus on small time developers mucking around, I suppose their multi-billion dollar business would be at risk. But they don't, so they aren't.

> Anything but public transit huh?

"Yesterday, in response to the ridership’s fear of crime, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced the state will deploy 750 National Guard soldiers and 250 state troopers and MTA officers to New York City’s subways. This amounts to sending four Army rifle companies and an extra police precinct’s worth of troopers into the transit system."

There's no support for 3rd party equipment. If you're paying for a supported service and there's no support unless you use their modem; they're pretty much forcing you to use their modem. A basement dwelling slashdot low life could cry otherwise, but that's all they would be doing... crying.
