  Is it licensing fees? I bet it is.

  From the article:

  the HDMI Forum (which manages the official specifications for HDMI standards) has officially blocked any open source implementation of HDMI 2.1. That means the open source AMD drivers used by SteamOS can’t fully implement certain features that are specific to the updated output standard.

  Any recommendations for a budget dock

  I don’t know if it’s the type you’re looking for but I’m quite happy with my Genki Covert Dock. It does the job quite well, and the portability is nice to have.

  I won’t lie I was super tempted to add a pro toolkit

  I say do it (if you have the money, of course). I got it and while it has far more tools/bits than I use regularly, it’s been invaluable.

  I thought I heard a gunshot, and then the sound of breaking porcelain.
