I’m not trying to troll, I’m genuinely curious. Thinking about deer specifically, it doesn’t seem like visual camouflage would really help much when hunting them. Deer sense predators by sensitive hearing (big ears) and smell (long snout). Their eyes are on the sides of their head, so they detect motion rather than high-resolution.
So trying to blend in with the surroundings doesn’t seem to be an advantage in this case. Assuming all this, what’s the point of clothing with camo print on it?
Gold plated, vacuum sealed $50 HDMI cables.
Just look up how much an active thunderbolt usbc cable costs.
About $60. They put the transceivers on either end of the cable. Only necessary if you require 40 Gbps at distances over 2.5’ or .8m. Not necessary for most applications, including 8k streaming.
A gen5 NVME can read at about 15 Gbps, which will not saturate the thunderbolt at 20Gbps unless you have a raid array. At 40Gbps, you would need three sticks. You will ALSO need that much hardware on the other end to sustain the transfer.
My friend paid $100 (roughly $150 today) for one of these cables around 2008/2009 when HDTVs were fairly new. $50 would be a bargain comparatively.
Was it a Monster cable?
I’m fairly certain it was but can’t recall for sure. The guy at Best Buy or Circuit City really did the hard sales pitch to convince him that it was worth the money and he’d definitely notice the difference. I recall making fun of him for it and his rebuttal was that it also came with a warranty so he could swap it out at some future date (since, you know, it’s so common for HDMI cables to wear out from all the data traveling through them).
