It's totally ok that you wouldn't have had the same gut feeling — but I absolutely did. I wrote that because it seemed like the binder was unnecessary information posed specifically in the photo to try to gain my trust. I think that's largely because the binder was unnecessary information posed specifically in the photo to try to gain my trust.

Bonus trivia I didn't mention: if you look at the invoice preceding the one in the binder, it has the logo for the 1992 (!) Barcelona Olympics at the top. A real weird thing to put in your 'Bills 2000 — 2010' binder! I do think this binder is totally real, but should actually be labelled 'My Forged Invoices' ;)

"Not only that but Emails Sent seems like a useless vanity metric."

We use it on our board to track the volume of support e-mails going out the door for each support agent. It's very useful!

In this case, AirPlay is our easier-to-understand way of saying "the results you're getting are exactly the same as when you stream iOS video using AirPlay". (Which is really weird for a video-out dongle! Especially since the former, non-Lightning one did proper video out.)

I've tweaked the post to make it clearer that AirPlay isn't _necessarily_ the _exact_ mechanism being used! It could just be H.264 or MPEG or whatever.

Mostly I'd love to know exactly what this chip/system does, so if anyone here with far more advanced hardware knowledge than any of us have feels up to hacking around, that'd be amazing! :)

The key takeaways from the post are:

1. It's feels unusual that a AV adapter would have a full SoC ARM-based CPU with RAM etc, not just a video encoder/decoder chip. Is it unusual? Let me know. :)

2. It's a bummer that the Video Out isn't very good, and not true 1080p, and has MPEG artifacts.
