You're discussing a completely different use case from what I said. RegEx can be increidbly useful but it's not always the only/best option.

Not even close. Sometimes you can have a large text file where you need to do a find replace with a pattern. For example, in the translation world this can be a common occurrence for translation files (.xliff) or translation memories (.tmx).

There's a reason why this is widely used and it's not because everyone else but you is dumb.

Hard disagree. The function regex serves in programs like Notepad++ can't be easily replaced by "writing it out in code". With a very small number of characters you can get complex search patterns and capturing groups. It's hard to read but incredibly useful.

Well then maybe you should read the comment you replied to again? They did not talk about how much data the cable would need. They even hypothesized that the cable format might even change. The meme talks about defining hd and they commented that 8k would be enough. Human eyes will not magically get more resolving so yeah, your analogy is still bad.

I do disagree on the Hz though. It would indeed be nice if we got 8k@360hz at some point in the future but that's not resolution so I'll let it slide.

You think that's a clever analogy but it's not even close.

Why would you lose that? It has the ability to carry sound but it doesn't need to.

Yes and no? Being a niche product, I feel like there should be a diy option where you get all of the parts as a kit for a reduced price. Maybe 30-35USD would make more sense. At 70 I would not even consider this product tbh.

What a weird response.

Which is another way of saying "wishful thinking"?

SpoilerYou've been watching too much Mr. Robot.

I do remember those ads but I did not know about the IBM Personal Computer distinction, to be honest. Thanks for the added context!

You're right. I should've said "the guy who argues swastika isn't just a nazi symbol", because that's essentially what you're saying

Ok yeah, sure. A couple of ads a random tech company ran are the same thing as the Nazi regime. Give me a break. It's an erroneous analogy and you know it.

You do know that Android and most modern gaming consoles support kb+m?

They support it but that's not what they were designed for. Don't be obtuse.

So it's okay to misuse words when you also misuse them, but not okay when you don't misuse them? What are you, a self-important hypocrite?

A) I'm not misuing anything B) You're starting to sound quite like a douche.
