Toast, can you hear me? This is Clem Fandango.

You can get USB controlled CEC injectors for HDMI.

For a 4K120Hz TV I'd be worried about this adding signal integrity issues - "all versions of HDMI®, including HDMI® 2.0a" doesn't inspire confidence.


My understanding is that CEC can be received on any alive interface, not just the active.


Yes but you will lose 120 FPS/VRR. So for high end TVs not really ideal.


Once a year I go through my photos and select my favourites and have them printed to paper. Using Google's print service (as an example) you can spend about $80 to have 150 photos printed into a book. If you do this once a year you will soon have a lovely shelf of paper photos you can easily store, easily look at and show to other people and hand down to your kids and their kids, etc. Long term I suspect my collection of books is far more likely to survive than my google account.


We got rid of my mom’s family photo books. Nobody has space / desire for 50 pounds of photos unfortunately. We use a rotating electronic frame now to cycle photos.


Long term your kids will probably wish they were digitized as well


A TV without software sounds like a dream. Just give me a working HDMI-in port and I'll take care of the rest, thanks!


Yeah that's misunderstanding my point. The compliance software might, for example, only play an old format from USB. Probably at low resolution.


If it's a TV, I don't want that either. If it's something where that type of functionality will be useful, it'll surely be listed in the specs, and nobody's going to buy it if it only lists 480p. If it lists better capabilities (on EU listings and whatnot), but it can only actually do that with the non-EU firmware, then that sounds like false advertising to me. Not to mention that if people can actually reprogram it, someone will reimplement the relevant features.


FWIW your link comes up as a blank black page on Firefox/Linux.


Can you check if it‘s still the case? :o


Working now.


Except for that one hit movie (Rumble in the Bronx) when Vancouver stood in for New York.

I wonder how far we are away from people being arrested for holding up blank pieces of paper.



The UK case involved him being "lead away" by police and "detained" when he returned and spoke so not really an arrest for holding up a blank piece of paper. Not good by any means, but not quite "for holding up a blank piece of paper". The other UK case was about a threat of arrest if he wrote on the paper - that is under the law that bans protests in Parliament Square. Again, not good, but not for holding up a blank piece of paper.


I thought detainment was a lighter kind of arrest. Seems that I’m wrong and they are distinct concepts (I’m not too familiar with the English terminology here, my bad)


When someone is detained, they're just a person of interest wanted for questioning. When they're arrested, it's because they've actually been charged for something.


In the U.S. you can be “detained” for days or weeks for having brown skin.

It’s called a Kavanaugh Stop. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kavanaugh_stop


Its more complex than that. Arrest is fairly straightforward, but you can be arrested and released without charge (e.g. Peter Mandelson was).

Detaining is not something I really understanding, but from what I have read it is using restraint of some sort without arrest and not really something police seem to have any special powers to do (whereas their powers of arrest are greater than those of other people).


The facts in your link contradict your post


I mean, if we are going to go after people for their tweets and posts, there’s a social network that needs crawling…


Or praying silently to yourself in a No Praying Zone!


If they just abandon them then a subsequent administration can simply re-activate them without being forced to spend even more money.


Umm, yes? The funding was put in place because of the problem.
