HDMI was a mistake that never should have happened.

And don't forget HDMI's useless encryption to protect from piracy, the HDCP.

Your TV doesn't support HDCP? Are you using some kind of convertor, HDMI switch, etc.? Shame. Worse case scenario, here's an error message, buy a new TV hehe. Best case scenario: Here's some 480p motherfucker.

Oh, your TV does support HDCP. Cool. But it's only HDCP 1.4. Our appliance requires HDCP 2.2.

What in the goddamn? Never buying any HDMI-only device, fuck HDMI.
