The real gulf of America is the gulf that Trump has ripped open between the US and its allies

Ah, strange.

I’ve never had any issues, but I also haven’t used it in a while.

Might be related to transcoding/sub-burning? https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/issues/6210

Jellyfin has much better Syncplay than plex

Interesting! Is that usually like HDbaseT or SDVoE? Would you recommend it for menus and screens in a bar?

I could see a lot of uses for a product like this for bars and offices I work in, but I would imagine the could might be prohibitive if it’s more than a few hundred dollars per unit.

Imagine a future where video was just ethernet and we didn’t have to worry about crappy cables or DRM

Yeah, probably wont be possible for people to make their own data cables for much longer. Fiber cables are much cheaper and thinner than copper at least, so not as much of an issue to buy different sizes instead of making them yourself.

tbh high bandwidth cables over copper are a bit of an anti pattern.

Would be a lot cheaper and compact if ethernet and video over fiber were more popular already

HD baseT

tie the cable into a knot, it’s the fastest and least damaging way to store cables

This seems to be referencing Regulation (EU) 654/2014, an EU law which allows the EU to unilaterally enact countermeasures against countries that break the WTO’s rules.

The countermeasures listed in article 5 are:

• Imposing tarriffs and customs duties
• Trade restrictions/quotas
• Cancelling contracts between the EU and the target country
• Cancelling the target country’s intellectual property rights (e.g. patents/copyrights)
• Banning public procurement from the target country
• Implementing price penalties for public procurement from the target country

The law was amended in Regulation (EU) 2021/167 in response to the Trump (and now Biden) administrations blocking the appointment of judges to the WTO and using a loophole to kill the WTO’s enforcement mechanism.

More context from the EU parliament:

The fact that the EU can just suspend American patents and copyrights is pretty insane. Could be some huge benefits for European companies and movie pirates.
