“I plugged a pc into my tv” is not a flex.
It must be a sign of something that a person submits a link to Hacker News about plugging in an HDMI cable and how excited they are about that.
It is actually noteworthy imo. Saves a lot of resources and money while achieving much better performance than you will get from the steam machine.
I thought it was common knowledge that you can plug a desktop computer into a TV, but I guess not?
Normal cheap HDMI cables dont go beyond ~5m because of signal integrity. A 15m cable is not a very common thing to have laying around.
Maybe I’m missing what point you’re making, but I just don’t see how “you can buy a long cable” is worthy of a HN post.
