Comment Re:This is not for /. (Score 1) 900

The rest of the world needs to recognize and appreciate that America is becoming a shithole country and move along without the US.

Isolationist, nationalist, Islamophobic, anti-immigration, anti-refugee, intolerant of its own people, warmongering, and oligarchical, America's beacon has dimmed and she is doomed.

In the mid-20th century and earlier, America would have been described by people like you as the above (with the possible exception of warmongering). The America that was a first-world country, the "old" America that you apparently thought was great, that wasn't a "shithole country", that was 90% white (which was EXACTLY what the founding fathers and the founding stock of America had intended). Or do you really think the Americans of, say, 1900 would have been:

- Keen in foreign political involvement?
- Not having national pride?
- Wanting Muslims to immigrate into their country?
- Wanting Mexicans to immigrate into their country?
- Wanting large numbers of third world refugees to immigrate into their country?
- Completely tolerant of everyone else in America?
- Free of high-level political corruption?

So can we just hear it from you, officially: you think America was a shithole country for its entire history with the exception of ~50 years between the 60s and now, during which the idea of America being some kind of multiculti globalist open-borders state was successfully promoted as normative?

Submission + - Ask Slashdot: Are There Any USB-C Wireless Video Solutions?

jez9999 writes: Sometimes it feels like we're on the cusp of a technology but not quite there yet, and that's the way it feels for me after searching around for USB-C wireless video solutions. There are several wireless video solutions that use HDMI on the receiver end, of course, but these aren't ideal because HDMI can't provide power. This means you need a separate receiver box and power cable going into the box, but cables are what you're trying to get away from with wireless video!

So the answer to this would seem to be USB-C. It supports HDMI video as well as power, so in theory you could create a receiver dongle that just plugged into a TV (or monitor with speakers) and required no external power cable. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find anything like this on the market.

There is Airtame, but that doesn't work with a "dumb" TV — it needs to plug in to a computer that you can install software on to stream the video. What I'd like is to be able to wall-mount a new TV and just plug in a wireless dongle to stream the video with no extra setup required on the receiver end.

Does anyone know of a solution like this that exists right now, or one that's being developed?
