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

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.
