You’re paying for a Ferrari engine, but your DisplayPort cable is a garden hose.
The market is flooded with fake "16K 80Gbps" cables that physically cannot handle high frequencies.
Passive copper fails past 2 meters due to signal attenuation.
Your GPU silently throttles the bandwidth to compensate , leaving you troubleshooting your drivers instead of the $20 cable causing the bottleneck. Stop chasing the '80 Gbps' sticker.Video incoming: The Layer 1 Disaster.

Regulators need to step up.
They already try to ensure fairness and safety with weights and measures, food additives, financial instruments, building standards, transportation safety, etc.
Why not ensure fairness by regulating against misleading and deceptive design patterns online?
Why not protect individual customers from harm that flows from a corporation's tech choices?
