If removing the physical connector achieves the exact result you’re looking for, might it just be easier to get, or build, some manual on-off/disconnect toggles?
If you can’t find purpose-built options, and you aren’t comfortable building your own, maybe a manual toggle box for HDMI that you can switch to an empty port, as needed.
Alternatively, what about a script, or macro, to switch to mirror mode, and back again?
Xaomi is a good brand, until proven otherwise.
I was just giving a broad disclaimer, but mostly I was trying to highlight that they aren’t some random shady white box OEM that gets re-sold under 72 different brand names.
They are a well established brand that produces quality products, that happens to be based in China, and therefore subject to Chinese laws and regulations.
I’m guessing very few, if any, Play Store certified devices are on that list. Unless Google has really laxed requirements.
Either way, Xaomi devices might get a CCP backdoor, but probably not an ordinary botnet like this.
…you realize that other users can see both your account creation date, and old comments…right?
Your account is literally a day old…or rather, the account you’re using at this moment.
You probably shouldn’t make these ambiguous comments with your brand new alt/Smurf/shill account.
Without a post history I can’t tell if you’re recommending McKinsey in good faith, which would be hilarious btw.
Or if you’re trying to make a sarcastic recommendation because you think McKinsey would have some adverse affect on the efficacy, or posture, of the US DOD. Which would also be funny, as it would imply that you made that joke while being unaware that McKinsey already does quite a lot work within the US MIC.
Anyways, while I found you use of a brand new account to leave that specific comment amusing…still, fuck McKinsey and anyone who’s ever worked for them cough Mayor Pete.
Soviet improvement as the war went on was a function of lend lease, Red Army finally recovering from the Stalinist officer purges, and Germany’s failures (incompetence, lack of material, overstretched supply lines, etc.)
Regardless, the Red Army no longer exists and Soviet Cold War doctrine isn’t really relevant to this conflict.
What do you think a blockade does…? What do you think siege warfare does…?
He’s probably waiting for it to catch fire and end his misery. The most passive aggressive murder-suicide of all time.
You’ll be hot as fuck in your home, and then a woman will just turn the AC off and complain about how cold she is
Haha nice, I’m glad I threw that in at the bottom lol.
If you do end up needing to do something physical, and can’t find a prefabricated item, look at getting 2 female HDMI breakout boards/connectors.
I believe there’s 19 wires in total, but only two deal with power (+/-) and 1 that deals with clock signal (tmds?). Could probably move those over to 3 pin on/off toggle switch, directly wire the rest, and then flip the switch as needed.
Or even just the TMDS wire 1 pin toggle switch, might even do the trick.
Those pinouts might be different based on the HDMI version you’re using, and I cannot stress this enough, I pulled that idea mostly out of my ass. I have some experience with this type of DIY, but none of it was with HDMI signals.
It is not intended as a final blueprint, just a starting point you figuring out a DIY toggle.
