minus-squareWallEx@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down2·2 年前So? I dont follow, how does that change things?

minus-squaretb_@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-22 年前The TV manufacturers own the HDMI foundation. Other devices being “forced” to implement HDMI ports, because every TV has them, might benefit those TV manufacturers. Not sure how exactly that would work, I assume it gives them some level of control/power.
