Definitely something to look into, but I checked on eBay and they seem to have captive screw connectors I'd have to assemble a cable from. Not impossible but another thing for me to look for.

I didn't realize the filter leaked this much AC until I had been using the "working" board for weeks, without audible distortion (but it's still theoretically there). And I'd have to run another power cable to the filter board, since 3.5mm doesn't supply power. It's possible the cable would result in distortion/radiation in the MHz range if the filter isn't located near the chip, but I don't know if this is a problem in practice. It might be something to work on in the future?

Compare this to the HDMI2SCART which required more manufacturing effort, but fulfilled a previously unmet use case; even then the author stopped selling them himself because he couldn't find a better source for chips.

IIRC HDMI/VGA is I2C and can drive an I2C display, but it's normally only used for EDID display identification and DDC brightness control.

3.5mm, I now know why conventional consumer audio devices don't use mixers, they're a ground loop party

It's also that I don't know how to build a differential input not limited to power supply range, I do think they are sold and I have a mixer at home but it's somewhat bulky for my computer desks.

The CS5213 appears pinout-compatible with the MX929x, interesting. The AG620x is a chip I've had the misfortune of encountering; it was common in Amazon DACs, dropped signal output every 15 minutes or so unless you disconnected the EDID pins from the (monitor?), and interprets input signal in a cursed fashion where 16 or below produces black but only 255 produces full white. If your computer outputs limited range HDMI the analog signal can't reach white, but if your computer outputs full range HDMI the shadows are clipped. This is one of the chips that gave HDMI DACs a reputation for black crush and caused CRT communities to recommend DP.

Interestingly the MiSTer game system community actually patched their FPGAs to output digital signals from 16-255, and have some other way of avoiding the signal dropouts (never talk to EDID?), so this chipset is almost seeked out over incompatible models.

It doesn't smell like a state actor to me, just gross negligence. Brushing up on the Reddit comment we wrote, the MITM isn't exploitable by default, since the client will error out at the 301 redirect and leave an obvious black window on the user's desktop. Exploiting a user would require replacing the 301 redirect with a direct download, which requires the same amount of effort whether the default disclosure was broken or not.

Now if they could've started shipping a modified AMD auto update that followed redirects, that would allow them to pwn users of the updated program. But it would do nothing to people who had installed older versions, up to the version the author installed (which left a black window open indicating the downloads never completed)...

On top of that, legislatures, courts, and right-wing agitators are pushing to repeatedly worsen living conditions for trans people.

I'm pretty sure they're still allowing puberty blockers for premature puberty, inducing puberty in cis teens, and surgically and medically forcing intersex people into a binary sex without consent.

It's chilling watching the latest political powers openly declare that trans people are not who they are inside and must never be allowed to become what they are inside, while eliminating legal recognition and protection and criminalizing life-saving transition healthcare. I find myself retreating into dissociation because to feel the horrors is more than I can bear.

Why do half of your comments (most of the ones in uppercase) sound like they're written by AI?

Reminded of the Super Pichu story where someone modded his ISO of Melee to increase Pichu's stats during a Melee tournament.
