That looks to be a logo of an abrasives company, not something for Audio Return Channel.

They looked up "ARC", and grabbed the first logo they found, not noticing that it was for a completely different company/product instead of the proper one for the HDMI feature.

Oooh! Fuck me. I’m an idiot. I didn’t zoom in on the image. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Thanks. Sorry.

ELY5: Image wrong, chinese product junk

I still don't get it

(Sorry, was just a joke ;) )

ARC is an audio technology. Zoom in on the ARC after 'Audio Extractor &' text, it says Arc Abrasives, which I'd guess is a manufacturer of abrasives

Oh dang, thanks for the explanation!

Zoom in on the lower right corner of the printed graphics.

You know on Lemmy you can edit your title to fix typos, right?

Not the first time this sort of stuff has happened, nor it will be last. Many many years ago, when cheap mobile VR headsets were all the rage, some Chinese manufacturer ripped off the logo of our national rail company.

I think I just got harassed about my adblocker in Finnish.

Yes because every single person of Chinese ethnicity did this. Don't know why you had to drag Chinese into this, just say "this company" or the name of the company or something. Does OceanGate represent every single American person too?

It seems like the implication was "due to language barrier..."

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
