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 fucking hate this phrase. You have the choice to not participate and be a normal human instead of a sociopath.

Hate the players because they perpetuate the game.

    It's even more pathetic than that. They aren't just expressing their will to play the game, they are asking for approval despite it. It's similar to the "nothing personal" disclaimer which is usually followed by something with significant personal disruption.

    Most honestly expressed, they'd be, "I'm doing/about to do something that impacts you negatively, please don't retaliate against me because I don't like it when negative things happen to me."

    Edit: just noticed the commenter you replied to reversed the original saying and agrees with you.
