3. lets me watch 4k streams on my haiku, aros, openbsd systems. Artificial DRM-based restrictions ultimately mean not getting the quality you pay for. Netflix specifically becomes 720p garbage. But I can just rely on less official sources. In this case I get a DRM-free, very high quality file that plays everywhere, forever.

What an interesting choice of platforms! How / where do you use them? Why them specifically?

>720p garbage I'm genuinely concerned there's something wrong with my eyes. 720p looks fine, I think? Is there that huge of a difference?

  What size and resolution is your screen? 720p on a 4k 27" looks visibly pixelated but on a phone looks just fine...

  On a large enough 4K screen, 720p does not look great, relative to 4K.
