DisplayPort gang rise up

First off: cables don't have version numbers. The host and the client have ports that adhere to a certain spec and the HDMI foundation made that very unclear by incorporating 2.0b into 2.1 and now not every 2.1 port supports the same things. Cables are defined by their max bandwidth, i.e. high speed, ultra high speed or high speed with ethernet. You might see marketers saying something is a 2.1 cable, that just means it is capable of supporting some or all of the 2.1 spec.

Second: the only reason to get new HDMI cables, like you said, is if you currently have a very old one and have devices that actually make use of the bandwidth. And I'll tell you right now, most of the high speed cables will do just fine. It's when you start doing 8k120 with HDR and VRR with eARC you'll need heftier cables. The only external devices to support that, though, are either supplied with cables because their makers don't want you bottlenecking your device, or they are PCs.

Third: the only reason HDMI is even a thing is because this joint venture behind it successfully lobbied their inferior product to TV manufacturers. DisplayPort has always been and will always be the better interface for video.

One of em pays us no mind and just meows if she needs food or attention. One other shows signs of understanding the roles but not much else. And then there's the third one. Food is still the main motivation, but that little girl shows a lot of affection and love, joy, anger, appreciation to us. I've never seen anything like it.

Actually the proper term is 'billenkoek'

I'm about as western European white as it gets. I was very much into hip hop when I was in high school, though not specifically into African-American culture as a whole.

That said, I've always been a big admirer of the spirit shown within the culture. Especially how the plight of slavery has had such an impact, it created a sort of shared understanding and development.

I feel the need here to emphasise that slavery is a horrible concept and I am not making light of any positive effect it may have had.

It was when I started watching Lovecraft Country that I delved into the song Sinnerman. It was the soundtrack of the show and the show does touch on class struggle in the United States circa 1950.

But the passion, the sheer soul of these kinds of songs, like Sinnerman, and how they travel through time and space, it's just special in a way that is hard to describe.

Any culture is always far more profound than just certain aspects that pop up and pique your interest. But it is very interesting how something like that is a way to get a deeper understanding of some things.

I'm trying to phrase this as carefully as possible but I am very aware that I am on the outside of this culture and can't begin to understand any of it fully or the way it was intended.

They split when she was 3. Stayed with her mum. She remarried but that didn't last.

Hey all, I've narrowed it down to 3 options: AKG K371 (at €149) AKG K361 (at €104) AKG K182 (at €69)

Use case is just at my desk. I have CX Wireless for on the road and wireless listening.

I like a full low end and defined, crisp highs. I mostly listen to soft easy listening like Mazzy Star or rougher rock bands like Evanescence, Bad Omens etc. I also listen to melodic electronic music.

I've read a lot of reviews and I can't really decide on the soundstage. For this I've chosen AKG because I have the K512 mk2's now and I've been very pleased with them.

As for comfort, I need them not to clamp after an hour or two. I don't mind having to pause every now and then.

Any other recommendations welcome.

But bottom line, I think 69 for the K182 is a great deal even though the K3x1s might be better cans.

Looking to upgrade my trusty 1070Ti. I use my pc for RPGs (Borderlands, Hogwarts Legacy) , VR fps (Alyx, Arizona Sunshine) and VR simracing (F1 23).

Deciding between ASUS Dual 4070 (@ €600) or ASUS TUF 7800XT.

Benchmarks don't really tell the whole story because they rarely include DLSS3, but the games I play don't really support that anyway. TUF is a better cooler, but bulkier.

I can also just not buy anything and wait for the 4070 Super to come along.

Thoughts?
