Pedantic nitpick to say: USB is a serial protocol, but video is not serial? It's a Displayport or Thunderbolt connection, using a USB-C-shaped connector and cable

The Fleet was where I played the Coordination Game with 2 hand controls and 2 pedals for my feet, old incandescent bulbs behind colored cels to match up simultaneously. I think I scored over 30.
The Fleet was where I took science classes in summertime. We learned how to make “Oobleck” and we used Apple ][ computers. It was where I found my first blinking cursor. I couldn’t type; I couldn’t find “g” on a Qwerty!
Fleet had the Cloud Chamber and Whisper Dishes and the big Periscope that must’ve got moved 5 times??? There was the orbital simulator where you’d roll balls down a black conical incline, and someone else threw in a coin?
We watched Carl Sagan do stuff and Jacques Cousteau. None of the IMAX films had a memorable name or stars, but they were all documentaries with obligatory aerial shots on the geodesic dome.
One science thing not in the Fleet science center but across the Prado, just as near the giant fountain: "The Nat" (San Diego Natural History Museum) hosted a giant Foucault Pendulum, 3+ stories high, toppling "dominoes" all day every day, to tell us the time!
Very late in time, it must've been ca. 2005 -- Mythbusters Live was on tour and they made an appearance at the Fleet. So it was Kari Byron and that Japanese guy who's dead now, and someone else like, I don't know, all my attention and amorous energy was focused on Kari, OK? And they had a panel discussion and then a live Meet & Greet and we posed for a photo while Mythbusters characters posed in real life next to us. And they autographed my photo I think. They had a full Mythbusters-themed display at the Fleet during that time, with hands-on.
Hands-on is the name of the game at the Fleet. You touch it! It moves! You respond! Der Blïnkënlīghts! It's a museum and a science center!
I purchased and ate genuine Astronaut Ice Cream (freeze dried) from the gift shop. A hologram sheet that was a real laser-encoded, white-light 3D hologram of a woman blowing a kiss! The Fleet Gift Shop had the best science toys and the best hard-science experiments! Reality-based, evidence-based entertainment! ("Edu-tainment"???)
The Fleet had one or two little side theaters where they would hold lectures and in-person appearances. We were rarely privileged to peek in, or much less sit in there; it seemed like a VIP experience. But they definitely had a screen and a lectern and awesome sciency science.
I believe that Tijuana eventually built their own IMAX attraction theater across the international border. You could go to smelly polluted Mexico and have your stupid turistic IMAX show. But OMNIMAX was different and something uniquely special. And plenty of mojados in San Diego proper. With clean air and crystal clear waters in the Coronado bay!
I never saw the Pink Floyd show!!! You must be mentally ill to purchase a ticket and I was diagnosed late. But the Pink Floyd Laser Show was the only laser show and it was a huge thing in the 1980s! It was like Grateful Dead jams for nerds!
Pretty much half of the Tanakh’s narratives are focused on that theme.
“He who sits in the heavens laughs.”
“What is this baaaa-ing I hear...?” — Amalekite property and population not thoroughly destroyed
“Do you do well...?” — Yahweh to Job, to Jonah, to Moses, et. al.
The priests of Ba’al vs. Elijah at Mt. Carmel
“That man is you!” — Samuel to David, regarding his proto-Machiavelli seduction and murder maneuvers
“Let us [Elohim] go down [to Earth] and see what men are doing now.” Genesis 11
The idolatry of Jamnia — actually that one turned out OK
Perhaps you are instead thinking of trademark protection? Trademark protection, of course, protects trademarks for particular specified industries and is scoped to nations where the holder does business/exists/has jurisdiction.
It's unlikely this will help, but it's 100% certain that copyright ain't gonna apply.
However, I was never able to use MHL display. None of my devices seemed to support it. Android Kitkat/Lollipop, Samsung Galaxy Tab.
I’ve no idea what sort of cable would’ve been needed. There was no USB connector on the monitor.
You say that like it is a bad thing
There is a related concept in Eastern Orthodoxy called oikonomia, or a relaxation of the laws. Roman Catholics or Episcopalians may know this as "dispensation". When the law becomes very complex and there is a concerted effort to get legalistic and eventually you end up with circumventions that are worthy of publishing news articles to the goyim, eventually you begin to think about dispensations or oikonomia from the leadership in order to relax the rules of Shabbat observance and the Day of Rest.
And undoubtedly that is the crux of whence originated Reform Judaism and Conservative Judaism.
Judaism is more akin to Islam than Christianity in the particular aspect that it is not unified and not organized under one particular visible head, like the Pope or a Patriarch. Not since the Destruction of the Temple in A.D. 70. During the Second Tempe Period there was definitely a unification of Jews and a singular doctrinal authority.
But in today's synagogue system with rabbis interpreting Torah and Talmud, it is quite federated and decentralized, and in New York in particular there are congregations following individual rebbes and having unique beliefs inside the walls of their synagogue, but also councils/conferences of Jew leaders who team up to build this Eruv Wall and make America pay for it.
How do y’all establish ye Theory Of Stylometry, O Phrenology Majors?
O, @dang confirms it on Mastodon or something??
"Trust" is something that has scopes, and extents, and subjects and objects. It is nonsensical to ask such a question as "Guess how much people trust Microsoft". Because you have not defined any scope or categories or extent of that trust.
I trust a toddler not to run out into the street and I trust a toddler not to stick their head inside an oven. I do not trust a toddler to prepare fugu sushi, nor do I trust the toddler to weld steel girders at a height of 1000 meters.
I would trust my hypothetical wife to maintain our conversations and personal history as confidential. This is a mutual and reciprocal trust. I would trust her to prepare that fugu sushi for me, and while I would trust her skills in welding and safety precautions, I would do everything husbandly possible to ensure that she doesn't need to take a job as a welder.
I trust Microsoft to provide software to me, and I trust them to exceed their "no warranty for any purpose" sort of service disclaimers. I trust Microsoft to respond in a timely fashion to CVEs and release software updates. I trust Microsoft implicitly, because the vast majority of businesses trust Microsoft, and those cumulative business decisions have influenced my sentiment about trusting Microsoft to provide software, hardware, and services to me, over the course of 35+ years. Likewise, my somewhat paranoid and crumudgeonly father trusts Microsoft with a similar scope, although he did not trust their Aero UI interface and stubbornly simulated a Windows 95 desktop on XP...
I do not trust Microsoft to bear my children or prepare meals for me. I do not trust Microsoft to cultivate a potato farm or raise chickens. Despite these emails I've been getting which offer me $3 off every Microsoft-raised chicken, guaranteed hormone-free.
So you see that "trust" has many ways to qualify it, and some blank slate of unspecified "trust" is meaningless, as meaningless as your "Best Song of All Time" means nothing to me, because I don't know your criteria or scope.
Do you trust a toddler these days?

But no, that is not the only thing that works. If anyone despairs or believes such as this, then refer back to "cult of self" we're trapped in.
I was originally going to scold the GP for a shallow dismissal and shitting all over a perfectly good application that runs on the best operating system in development today, Microsoft Windows.
But I also have a soft spot in my heart for Linux and I thought I would instead mollify the GP by pointing out that there really is Linux software for his Software-Defined Radio.
Little did I suspect that the GP wants all of the special features that SkyRoof offers, such as hyperencabulation of quasicosmic quantum wave collapse, a genuine pair of cathode ray boobs, and also don't forget the 1.7 jiggawatt zener diode that is included free with every subscription.
Sorry to confuse you!
Yes, positivity is essential, and negative thinking is also a trap, but this "Believe In Yourself!" and "Follow Your Passion!" is rotten fruit from the $16 self-help bookshelf in the public library.
Did you know that while the Apollo 11 lander was on the Moon's surface, and the astronauts were out there exploring the Moon, the Soviet Union's Luna 15 crash-landed into the surface -- about 554km away from the Eagle LM.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luna_15
Yet, the very next mission, Luna 16, was the first successful sample-return mission from the Moon (or anywhere I guess), and the Soviets did it uncrewed, in 1970.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luna_16
It only took one more iteration, Luna 17, to carry a rover to the Moon: Луноход-1; and have it successfully rove around up there, uncrewed! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunokhod_1
That was so fun that the Soviets followed it up with a second successful rover!
The Soviets also did Venera missions to Venus. They sent like 12 of them. Many were successful landings or atmospheric entries with good data. 4, 5, 6, and 7, to begin with.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_space_program#Venusian_...
Sorry I went a little heavy on the Soviet side of things, but rest assured that NASA was enjoying robotic success as well, including the Surveyors on the Moon, which blazed trails for Apollo landings.
I believe that the radio round-trip delay, from the Earth to the Moon and back, is something on the order of 3 seconds. "Cowboy Neil's" manual intervention isn't the only way to land there.
That being said, NASA's Viking and Pioneer programs were qualitatively different from the newer probes coming out of JPL, and even different still are the commercial ones. All these space agencies need to try out their own combinations of inspiration, perspiration, and high-tech.
It's the sheer exhaustion of beating the dead horse that makes me long for some sort of tagging or categories, enough that I can make a filter, to strain out a gnat of interesting Astronomy news or something.
I mean you basically just described Hacker News right here
In the Infocom-produced Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, the player must enter his/her own brain and navigate a maze, in search of the Common Sense Particle, finding where it is lodged in this brain, and get rid of the blasted thing.
Then the player may return to the Heart of Gold and, without hindrance of Common Sense, hold “No Tea” and “Tea” simultaneously in inventory.
But that is just a computer game!!!
I mean that is great news when you get into the job market, right? Instead of 400 applicants for that job you need, only competing against 300 — dead babies don’t need to work!!!
