Comment on Why won’t Steam Machine support HDMI 2.1? Digging in on the display standard drama.

Exactly that.
Its mostly common on commercial devices still, but it is defined.

As an example:

Though again, a lot of this could be mitigated with a loop, strain relief, and inserting from above into a port rather than letting gravity pull it down. But it would be nice to see side screw locks be more common with usb-c.

That usb-c connector with side screw locks looks like a future I want to live in.
It’s futuristic, but it’s open and not corporate. It’s miniaturized and sleek, yet still mechanically rugged.
