- aero-glide2 5y agoI have no words. Wow.
- TeMPOraL 5y agoRight. This is not just Mac OS, same thing can happen on Windows. Modern media DRMing sometimes involves bypassing your OS entirely[0]. Audio/video streams have special hardware paths through the CPU and GPU. HDCP uses encryption to create a safe pipe between the incoming stream and your monitor, so the data can't be snooped on or modified mid-flight. Etc. -- [0] - Or at least almost entirely, I suspect at least the kernel must get involved somehow. Otherwise Widevine support wouldn't be an issue on Linux the way it is (or was).
