HDMI cable/port degrading?
I have a moderately long HDMI cable running to a screen that has worked for quite a while. Recently the screen lost its connection.

Why do people always assume you're part of a group just because you're defending them?
Have we really become so unempathetic as a society that the act of putting yourself in others’ shoes is unbelievable to the point that people assume you must be part of the group you’re defending? So I often see people being unfairly discriminatory and mean to certain types, attributes or qualities of people, which I know...

I’ve had this box for almost ten years now, so I’ve been thinking about getting something new. Looking at the market, the new systems don’t seem to be all that much more advanced, though.
