To play devil's advocate, wouldn't a better cable lead to better streaming quality? Maybe prices are too high here but don't see why everyone is so upset
Landon Ramirez
how do you even know which cable is better if the data that goes in and comes out of every single cable working in spec is identical
Joseph Perez
>working in spec I think this is the special sauce here. Some ten year-old piece of Cat5(e) that came with your ISP-supplied modem is probably not going to do as well as Cat6a or OM3.
Luke Russell
why do you think so? if the data packets are measurably fine then what gives? what could the higher spec cable add to it?
Sorry I'm gonna exposé myself for the newb I am here, but isn't there some checksum or something built in?
Jose Lewis
of course, multiple layers of error correction, including just resending packets if something is corrupted and whatnot
Hunter Mitchell
So I guess some cables are better at this than others?
Gabriel Turner
no, the cables have nothing to do with all of that they just need to exist and work in spec
Parker King
I buy the cheapest one and wrap it in tinfoil to prevent electrical infetterence
Hunter Sanchez
Lmao these dipshits would shield a fiberoptic cable in gold wouldn't they. And of course the fiber must be glass because plastic makes the sound muddy.
Joseph Rivera
they don't use fiber at all because it sounds sterile and cold copper is so much warmer and has life
Blake Russell
got a chuckle out of me. Well played

>not using single mode OS2 fiber for every single connection throughout your whole shitty 10mbps audio setup ngmi
Thats almost close to what the toslink standard is. And yes it is based and redpilled to go fiber for everything. Hdmi over fiber is a godsend. You do not need copper for everything, if light is so great why are we not using it for processors yet? Fucking hate god and chinks.
