  Kind of a crappy headline, like yeah you’re gonna need a new cable to achieve higher rates. This has been the case with every cable standard ever.

  Whatever the spec brings, that mention of a new cable is a tidy reminder that like USB-C, not all HDMI cables are the same. It seems unlikely that HDMI Forum would change the port itself, so you’ll probably be able to use your old ones with the updated spec, and some might even support its higher bandwidth. Still, there’s always the chance you need fresh cables to get all of the new capabilities when the time comes.

  They do so with no regard for user rights or privacy

  Yeah but throw them a buck and all those rights and privacy go away

  My guesses would be:

  1. If you’re able to use tools to just post at a certain time, you might be less likely to engage with the platform.
  2. They can upsell you on their paid API (which is probable how corporations would prefer to operate anyways).
