Is there non-garbage MiraCast hardware?

I have literally no knowledge of MiraCast, just the observation that it appears to be a technology farmed out to a bunch of non-name Chinese OEMs, so I'm wondering if it has features like "working" or "usable latency".

In the early 2000s, I was preaching Apple to everyone without being able to come up with better reasons than that it was "just better". Then one day, I got tired of buying a new computer every 6 months, I got tired of products being built to self-destruct, I got tired of the extreme vendor-lock and the arrogant, sadistic relationship Apple has with its customers.

they're letting eu lead here, so yes. basically they adopt eu legislation, which ended up with some 30-40 euro adapter bundled with every phone, and corresponding price bump

there's no eu legislation on phone chargers, just them getting some manufacturers (including Apple) to agree to use micro-usb which has since ended. Apple just included an adapter. it'll be comical if Switzerland ends the transition to usb-c before it starts though

just agreement used to be the case, but if i'm not mistaken, now there's a law too

i really wouldn't be surprised if they drop lightining for usb-c and then include a c -> lightining adapter. the new atv already has a usb-c port and obviously the macbook does too

lightning is only usb 2 anyway

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
i too would not be surprised to see apple orphan yet another one of their proprietary connectors and its attendant hardware ecosystem. they've been doing it pretty reliably for about 20 years now
