Comment on HDMI 2.2 will require new “Ultra96” cables, whenever we have 8K TVs and content

The HDMI standard needs to declare cable bankruptcy and start over with a new design. We all have way too many HDMI cables supporting 23 years of standards.
Also, the DRM baked into the specification is such bullshit.

That’s the one thing they have absolutely no interest in getting rid of. They’ll change everything about the spec, including the connector, but that part’s staying in.

That’s why I added it as an addendum. Even sourcing HDMI cables without HDCP is getting very very rare.
