Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux
www.heise.de
Technically, the Steam Machine supports HDMI 2.1. However, Valve and AMD are not allowed to offer an open-source driver for it.

I do not really have a body for this. I was not aware that this is a thing and still feel like this is bs, but maybe there is an actual explanation for HDMI Forum’s decision that I am missing.

    tbh I looked at audio jacks in internals, and they do usually have double the footprint on a pcb than what you see outside of it, at least on low end consumer devices:

    That’s not to say that they couldn’t put anything more compact in a highend device like a smart phone.

      Okay but I have a usbc slot, speakers, stylus, and an audio jack all on the bottom of my new phone. It’s bullshit that they needed the room as evidenced by this 2025 phone.

      It can also use an sdcard. Greedy fucking corporations just wanting you to repurchase stuff you already have.
