   Thanks to buying a mini-dp to hdmi (male) and a mini-dp to hdmi (female) cable, I can now connect two laptops with mini-dp together.

   I don't know what this'd do. Somewhere between "nothing" and "both laptops are broken now", but I'm so compelled to try

     Digital lines don't like it when one device drives a line high while another drives it low

     @foone I've often wondered why no laptop ever seems to support being used as a simple HDMI monitor by directing video sent in to the HDMI port up to its internal display panel, bypassing the local GPU entirely
