I would tend to call "Weighs a fraction of what a 1" thick laptop would and is much easier to carry around when traveling" a functional reason.

A. Yes, DisplayPort supports multi-channel audio and many advanced audio features. DisplayPort to HDMI adapters also include the ability to support HDMI audio.
I wound up on this page however because my DisplayPort audio wasn't working. After searching many sites, I learned that the video driver (vs. audio driver) is responsible for the DisplayPort audio; while updating my video drivers (Intel HD Graphics 4600) I specifically noticed in the log it installed an Intel audio driver as well. After this driver update I'm able to see the TV/audio device listed under Control Panel->Sound (LG TV/Intel Display Audio), as well as under Device Manager as Intel Display Audio (in addition to my regular audio device).
As others have mentioned, it's up to the manufacturer to support/implement audio over DisplayPort. Other research has indicated that the DisplayPort to HDMI adapter must also support audio. Odds are if you're using a laptop with a common video device like Intel or AMD, they implemented audio over the DisplayPort and you just need the drivers for it.
He's doing worse than insult, he's actively trying to start shit with them. That's PHENOMENALLY stupid. Maybe he just wants to be put in solitary or something.
Has nothing to do with being "chicken" and everything to do with being selfish in my case. I'm paying for this bandwidth, and I'm not giving any of it away. It's for me.
A for your guest network I wouldn't use your public access point, because I don't know or trust you anyhow.
Yes I could go to those lengths that you did to make things low impact, but why the fuck would I?
The current ISS doesn't have the additional radiation shielding that an station in cislunar space would require. Additionally, it's design and instruments are pretty well tuned for its current mission. We're far better off with a new station.
It would be great if an international cooperative effort could be made in this direction, but in the current political climate, I think that level of cooperation between the space powers is extremely unlikely. We certainly shouldn't wait until everything here is hunky dory before we move forward with exploration.
Yes. Immediately stop burning oil and coal. Totally reasonable. We don't need electric power or anything. I mean we could use nuclear generation but that's evil too. Let's just regress to the 1800s and fuck everyone that lives in places that are unliveable without refrigeration or Air conditioning.
As far as making fewer babies, good luck with that. The smarter parts of the population already are, which is why we're heading straight into Idiocracy. The mouth breathers and Wal-Beasts will continue breeding until the average IQ in this country is sub-80 on the current scale.
Hold the principles of corporations criminally liable for things that happen on their networks. Imprison a few of these motherfuckers and watch corporate behavior get better overnight.
Exactly. I thought for two seconds about this, realized I use my right hand for pin and keep my watch on my left, and knew that at least for me it was a non issue.
The tax at the checkout thing is because unlike VAT, our sales tax is a local thing, that varies by county, and city, and sometimes state. The politics of sales tax increases, and who gets a slice of them, is probably an industry unto itself, employing an unknown number of toadies and bureaucrats and enriching corrupt politicians across the country. Someone could probably make a great career out of studying this bizarre meta-economy really. That someone would have to be far more masochistic than I though...
Pretty much, you are. Their alliance with China is more than enough to repel any "US Aggression". It's the reason that the Korean War/Conflict ended in a 50+ year long cease fire.
Well, it's not a platform that most devs that want to make a living are going to bother with at this point, so it was probably the right decision. Emulation is a great crutch, but it's not going to be ideal for the kinds of apps that people use day to day, because emulation carries a tremendous processing overhead that translates to battery utilization.
And I never saw the appeal of iOS either, but I hate walled gardens.
Sorry, I actually enjoy being able to control things in my apartment by voice. That's actual, real functionality to me. You may not agree, but I don't think you represent as much of the target market for these devices as you believe yourself to. It's like "why pay an extra $30 for a HD monitor? 480 P is just fine. I can't see the difference". Your dismissal of such functionality is a bit silly. "I don't need voice commands" is one thing. "I don't like that so I don't think it offers functionality to anyone at all" is myopic.
That said, I can't imagine bringing something like an Echo into the office. I don't even want to issue voice commands to my computer or watch in that environment. That is a head scratcher.

He's in the Taco Cave enjoying all the Taco Cash he got for selling this joint.
Laughing his ass off, I hope.

What you claim is untrue. https://superuser.com/question...

Bottom Line: Update Video Drivers.
And I think it's significantly less so. Amazing how opinions differ and "nerds" actually don't all care about the same shit all the time, isn't it?
Private security isn't going to do him much good when he goes into general population.,
Of course, I suspect that's what he's trying to avoid with this tactic.

The butt-hurt IS rather funny, isn't it?
If he keeps starting shit with Wu-Tang Clan, he might not live long enough to go to prison.

"I guess if you call giving money away to UNICEF "greed" ..."
No, I just call that a fucking waste of money.
Yes, you're so cool and edgy with that shit. I don't give a shit that you have a 5 digit ID. you're behaving like a fucking child.
No, that's Walmart beast farts causing that.

It would also cleanly eliminate The Great Rat's dark hold on Orlando.
I thought "They bought a software company just to see the looks on the user's faces when they did it?"
Then I started wondering what could they have bought to try to get their users to register shock or similar?
Then I realized it was just another relatively poorly phrased headline. I assume from the blog this came from.
