The HDMI Forum, responsible for the HDMI specification, continues to stonewall open source. Valve's Steam Machine theoretically supports HDMI 2.1, but the mini-PC is software-limited to HDMI 2.0. As a result, more than 60 frames per second at 4K resolution are only possible with limitations.

No, youngin’ they’re talking about USB. The original iMac was USB-only specifically to force the adoption of USB keyboards and mice.

    Not their proprietary (what was the old iPod connector called?)

    This is what I was responding to. Also, they only sold that iMac for about a year, after which point iMacs came with FireWire ports.

    And I’m in my 40s. I’m not a “youngin’”.
