Encrypted Media Extensions (EME) are something I've never actually seen used anywhere.
Adobe Flash: why isn't it dead yet?
Pocket is retarded, and it's icon is a non-sequiteur, with no clear purpose. It's a non-obvious add-on that found it's way into the default build probably due to funding.
And chatting and video calls with a browser extension alway felt very Netscape Navigator to me.
- pix64 10y agoNetflix uses EME. Amazon Prime Video also I believe.
- rye_bother 10y agoAh, well, never part with tangible money for a virtual service. Especially one that refuses to inform you of the ingredients in their dog food. DRM is something worth the cost of ignoring and avoiding.
- sp332 10y agoNetflix really does send me movies to watch though. Their selection is poor and they constantly remove content which is annoying, but that only lowers the value and doesn't set it to 0.
- rye_bother 10y agoReally? I thought they totally discontinued the part of the service that lends optical discs via snail mail?
- sp332 10y agoOh I meant streaming. However they spun off the disc part of the service for a very small amount of time before customer backlash pushed them to re-integrate. Netflix has been doing physical rentals for... ~8 years since then.
