@it_wasnt_arson@queer.party @someonetellmetosleep@queer.party @tom that's right: OEMs replaced a feature with something worse in every way for almost no reason

@tom I mean companies do that even when it's a standard thing. half the time when they have some stupid £80 proprietary dongle they stop selling it after 3 months, which I'm sure is very profitable for them

@tom the fun thing is standards make everything cheaper and easier for everyone, so this is just OEMs being shite because they can

@tom (if any, other than the included one which sucks)

@tom my laptop's usb C has a HDMI adapter. it might work with other HDMI adapters, but you'll just have to find out which ones c;

@tom by reliant I mean you have to have standards for literally any of this to work ever

@tom for being by far the most reliant on strict adherence to standards, consumer electronics is really bad at it.
capitalism works thought right

@tom not if you industry has a poor track record regarding standards, no

@tom why are you blaming this behaviour on a cable instead of apple, who have never heard of a standard and constantly do whatever they feel like to everyone's detriment, their own included (and whatever idiot controller they put in that PC)

@envgen very cyberpunk

@envgen verisimilitudinous

@envgen otherwise it's the power supply

@envgen sounds motherboard related. if its modern-ish the components should have been protected

@envgen just in time, then. reminds me of the time at my first job when I was testing older machines to see if they would boot and one just loudly exploded in my face

@Nine the N64 was significantly more powerful in terms of raw component specs but all the components were connected up such that they had to take turns accessing a single bank of memory which badly damaged the systems ability to do anything well

@Nine oh, the Saturn had no native 3D capability because they didn't have time to develop it. it just has 2D, twice. it can generate enough scaled sprites to look like 3D but it has no 3D hardware of any sort
