Intel's HDCP HDMI/DP handshake is a broken solution to "protect digital content owner's rights" that causes nightmarish debugging scenarios when equipment does not correctly perform the handshake in the correct order. It's a pain in the ass to deal with and it can easily be defeated anyways. It only hurts legitimate users and does nothing to stop unauthorized replication of media.

DRM in physical cables is an affront to humanity.

A screenshot of a text editor showing a variable for color being assigned a hexadecimal color value in four different natural human languages. Context: Each language example shown is not necessarily a valid way to assign a value to a variable, rather each example is a satire of the quirks in it's corresponding language. This is as much of a linguistics meme as it is a tech meme.

Screenshot transcribed:

```
// American
color = "#99FFAA";
// British
colour = "#99FFRA";
// Spanish
;color = "#99FFAA";
// French
couleur = "#(4*20+10+9) FFAA";
```
