Well then maybe you should read the comment you replied to again? They did not talk about how much data the cable would need. They even hypothesized that the cable format might even change. The meme talks about defining hd and they commented that 8k would be enough. Human eyes will not magically get more resolving so yeah, your analogy is still bad.

I do disagree on the Hz though. It would indeed be nice if we got 8k@360hz at some point in the future but that's not resolution so I'll let it slide.

You think that's a clever analogy but it's not even close.

Why would you lose that? It has the ability to carry sound but it doesn't need to.

Yes and no? Being a niche product, I feel like there should be a diy option where you get all of the parts as a kit for a reduced price. Maybe 30-35USD would make more sense. At 70 I would not even consider this product tbh.

What a weird response.

Which is another way of saying "wishful thinking"?

SpoilerYou've been watching too much Mr. Robot.

I do remember those ads but I did not know about the IBM Personal Computer distinction, to be honest. Thanks for the added context!

You're right. I should've said "the guy who argues swastika isn't just a nazi symbol", because that's essentially what you're saying

Ok yeah, sure. A couple of ads a random tech company ran are the same thing as the Nazi regime. Give me a break. It's an erroneous analogy and you know it.

You do know that Android and most modern gaming consoles support kb+m?

They support it but that's not what they were designed for. Don't be obtuse.

So it's okay to misuse words when you also misuse them, but not okay when you don't misuse them? What are you, a self-important hypocrite?

A) I'm not misuing anything B) You're starting to sound quite like a douche.

$70 for a macropad? You can buy an entire kb for that price.

or you end up becoming the guy who argues that drawing swastikas doesn’t make you a nazi because it’s a symbol of luck.

That's a very poor and far-fetched analogy.

good luck defining what a computer is

A computer that runs an OS designed to be used with kb+mouse. See? It wasn't that hard. Refusing to call a Windows computer a "PC" as if that were the only thing it could be doesn't mean that I'm obtuse. It just means that I refuse to abide by the rules set by a set of crappy, inaccurate ads a massive corporation ran like 13 years ago.

Save yourself the headache and use PC as you understand it while accepting that others have a different meaning for PC.

Thanks, but no. If you want to misuse the term, go ahead. I'm just as free to point out the incorrect use of the term if I want to.
