OK, so my first reaction to reading your post was “what the fuck”, and my second reaction was “there’s gotta be a better way to try to do this”.
What are you trying to do? Because whatever it is, you’re trying to do, I think the best way to solve your problem. Is to rethink your approach. There’s gotta be a better way to go at this.
I’m a tech guy (I’m sure that applies to pretty much anyone on Lemmy) so maybe an outside view will help you solve this problem
Again, what are you trying to do? What problem are you trying to solve? Because, from what you’re telling me, you haven’t been able to solve the problem, so maybe trying to come at it from a different angle will present you with different solutions.
I get that you’re trying to output 4K video from your phone, but what are you trying to output that video too? And is outputting video from your phone the best option? Can you output video from another device to the end device?
What is your total solution here? What is your end solution? What is this all look like in your final video set up? Is there a better solution than using your phone?
You know, I’d really like to say that this is the source of all of her problems, but it isn’t. USB-C is the new universal adapter for everything, but it does not preclude universal adaptability.
Whether a computer is capable of certain things or not, is something you will have to consult a specific computers tactical manual about. Just because it has a USB-C port, does not mean it can do everything. A USB-C port is capable of doing. That’s up to you to determine.
I don’t mean to sound like a dick, but…
