Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux (www.heise.de)

The HDMI Forum, responsible for the HDMI specification, continues to stonewall open source. Valve's Steam Machine theoretically supports HDMI 2.1, but the mini-PC is software-limited to HDMI 2.0. As a result, more than 60 frames per second at 4K resolution are only possible with limitations.

I didn't connect my free Roku TV to the new wifi, and suddenly the remote works like shit. Turns out, it's a wifi remote that would rather not use infrared and the infrared receiver has been slightly blocked this whole time.

The way to set it up without connecting it to wifi is very hidden. I had to look it up after because I couldn't figure it out. I fucking hate smart tvs.

I hate the Wi-Fi remote thing. My TV has a Wi-Fi remote and it runs off of AA battery and they last about 4 days and then run out. If I hadn't replaced them with rechargeable ones they would have probably had to open a new landfill site just for my old batteries.
