"Piracy is a service issue" (Piratelık bir hizmet sorunudur) söylemi, aslında dijital içerik tüketiminin ekonomik ve erişimsel zorluklarına dikkat çeker. Tavuk Dünyası Menu
Pirati, genellikle hizmetin eksik veya yetersiz olduğu durumlarda ortaya çıkar. Kullanıcılar, yüksek fiyatlar, erişim kısıtlamaları veya kalite sorunları gibi sebeplerle, yasal yollarla ulaşamadıkları içerikleri yasa dışı olarak elde etme yoluna giderler. Tostçu Mahmut Menu
The only platform not yet supported is the Mac Pro, although there probably isn’t much left to do. No, not the “MacBook Pro”, but the “Mac Pro” – the one that looks like a cheese grater and costs thrice as much.
I've always wondered what sort of look they were going for.
The Mac Pro only costs three times as much as a cheese grater???
Apparently they make it up on the wheels. Apple is a strange company.
Gotta respect a quality use of the word “thrice”
Ignoring its existence is spitting in the mouth of pragmatism, and not in a good way
I remember seeing it and thinking "No, this can't be real. No way Apple actually did this."
Edit: I just checked and if you apply all upgrades, the total hardware cost is $12,348. That's 3.5th the price of the future Vision Pro
When did they give up on the trash can? I miss the trash can. It was easier to call it overpriced garbage when it looked like an actual garbage receptical.
I've seen poorer documentation than this I suppose.
I hate how true that is...
I've written poorer documentation than this.
"Here is a work around to fix [weird bug in production]:"
"Edit: Disregard the above. It fixes [weird bug in production] but causes [bad thing] to happen."
"Edit 2: Apparently the first edit is wrong. It doesn't cause [bad thing] to happen. Bad thing just happened to occur simultaneously the first time I did the workaround."
"Edit 3: [weird bug in production] has been fixed. This workaround is no longer needed."
"Edit 4: Turns out [weird bug in production] we fixed is what allowed our systems to communicate with one another. Had to rollback change. Work around is now considered 'the fix' going forward."
"Edit 5: Turns out it DOES cause [bad thing] to happen, but [bad thing happening] is a core component of our system's design and also PAYROLL NEEDS IT TO FUNCTION?!"
Did you read the Documentation?
Yes and I followed it exactly by running the Feldisprut command with the 8 parameters
What are your parameters?
Feldisprut -i -p -87 -256 -codecreplace -codeccopy -withsound -biflwop
Why are you using biflwop?
MY GUY I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT IS I'M JUST FOLLOWING THE DOCUMENTATION. Tried it without biflwop and it says I'm missing a parameter, so what do I put there?
use "nobiflwop"
No changes
Oh, right we don't support 256 on the beta, it only goes up to 128.
Fuck you.
Problem isn't just on Linux's side for a change. Louis Rossmann did a video on Netflix's bullshit some weeks ago. Seems it's far from uncommon to not get what you're paying for with those shitbags
when we've had netflix (off and on a couple months at a time, last was about a year and a half ago), we often encountered 540p max playback on "hd" titles that should have (legitimately) been streaming at 1080p; and we rarely were able to use all the simultaneous connections of the plan (usually only limit-1)
When it's like that I'm happy we only have the cheapest netflix, and then 🏴☠️ when they eventually remove what you were watching.
They even removed One Punch Man 🙄
Yeah, I fell for this once a year ago and was dumbfounded to only get 480p when I paid for "UHD". Never paying again. Great job, bean counters.
JellyFin likes my new 20 TB HDD very much. That's all I'm saying.
Link for the hdd? I’ve got like five 5tb drives all wired to a usb hub and need to bite the bullet and get some real storage solutions.

Good place to find what's a good deal. I think my search string there is specifically 20+tb drives.
If you want to read the gritty-nitty of how exactly was the Widevine blob patched and worked around specifically to not violate the DMCA, here's the specific article
Sad that Android TV boxes have better playback than PCs costing 20 times as much.
Android TV is not free though.
You pay with yourself,
your interests / watch habits,
all being collected and sold to the best bidder for "personalized ads"..
I regret convincing my parents to subscribe to Netflix instead of using Torrent or Emule. Fuck these fucking companies that now cost more than bluerays and broadcast content with crappy quality if you don't have a platform that knows how much you're shitting yourself
You can always setup a nice Plex server and give them all the movies they want.
It's not like you can't unsubscribe from Netflix
i am against paying for DRM streaming services, and i boycott apple products, but i must say this is an impressive hacking effort and a well-executed meme about it. 🥂
If I could easily do this on my desktop/laptop I legitimately might stop pirating media. I would also stop if the streaming companies just let me watch full quality and didn't take away what I purchased because the rights holder decided they want you to buy it again on another platform.
I don't mind much paying for streaming (although that's increasingly more and more annoying and I still tend to just download whatever I actually care about) but until and unless I can pay to "own" a movie and they just provide me with a DRM free video file of some sort, I will never "purchase" digital content like this.
If you tried this kind of bullshit in just about any other context, even normal people would think you're crazy.
Normal Person: "hi there, one blender please. I'll take this one for $25."
Sales person: "Cool here's your receipt."
NP:: "It says here at the bottom of the receipt that you can just come in my house and take this blender back whenever you want or maybe never?"
SP: "yep."
NP:: "And you don't tell people that ahead of time?"
SP: "no when you buy it you agree to that by opening the box and it is on the receipt you get after you bought it."
NP: "you fuckin with me rn?"
SP: "afraid not, and would you look at that corp says I need that blender back, thanks."
SP: "oh, shoot. I see here you also bought a toaster from EvilCorp sold in one of our EvilMart locations a couple years ago, we've decided to license that brand instead to our new partners FukUMart, so we'll be taking that toaster but if you want you can head to your local FukUMart and buy that toaster again for more than you paid the first time."
NP: spontaneously combusts
The irony of this article being able to quote those comments for us, the humble readers, while the fucking movie studios can't do the same in a court of law is just... so delicious.
I'm so glad that I subscribed to netflixs DVD rental service. I would get stuff in the mail, rip the disks with handbrake, and send back. Repeat. Torrents where a no go with a 5gb a month satellite ISP.
Still remember having to patch widevine L1 on my Poco F1 just to get HD working on Netflix.
Weirdly my totally legally obtained DRMless video files never had this issue.
Im kinda mad cuz i removed netflix from my phone plan cuz they kept increasing prices. now Netflix is apparently something i get in my package (its in my base plan somehow and not something i can uncheck anymore. It's not something i can remove, (something i want because fuck Netflix yarrr) and the base phone plan price keeps ticking up. Fucking phone plan pricing grrr that's a whole other thing...

Neat. Chromebook image is useful for blobs when installing coreboot also.
