Can someone remind me why #RaspberryPi figured that a micro HDMI port was a better choice on the Pi 5 than regular HDMI?
I finally have the time and energy to mess around with a Pi project but just realized I need to get a special cable before I can proceed. I have approx 1 bajillion HDMI cables lying around but that wold be too easy.
I can either get it for $15 from Amazon tomorrow (when I have neither the time nor energy) or $30 from BestBuy today:
