Honestly, with the hashtags included and the post body the same as the title, this looks less like a genuine post and more like a post trying to advertise a particular YouTube video.

OK, how is this related to "opensource" lemmy community? DisplayPort is not an open standard.

What year is it? Hasn't this been general geek knowledge for over a decade?
