720p needs HDCP. DRM is already a software thing - 720p video is protected by software Widevine. Has been for years.

Do not do this, write to lawmakers pointing out how child protection charities are fantasists.

There is more DRM free video available in 2023 than literally any other point in human history. That doesn't entitle you to a specific video unprotected. But the video market is pretty unquestionably not dominated by content right hold

> MS already has TPM and secure boot requirements. What's stopping them from colluding with the Copyright Cartel and embedding keys in the firmware that, if removed, disable functionality on the device or on property networks? That

Indeed, more systems than have the existing PlayReady 3000 GPU mechanisms. But services still use that rather than a TPM, because a TPM is useless.

Or just use the existing hardware security features that don't let the OS see what's in the relevant video memory at all. But as you say, that's a much, much smaller attack surface than trying to validate the OS.

Because these things are all much, much harder than just passing the decryption to the graphics card which does not permit a userland OS to see what's going on, avoiding the OS entirely. And that already happens. And has happened for y

They offer it in Germany too under the WOW brand (previously Sky Ticket). I don't think they offer the day pass but they certainly offer the single month for the sports channels.

Not really, they're just not able to sell you the ad free product on it's own for less money than the bundle. But enough people bring it up that I honestly think the product page should let you buy YT Premium without YT Music for

That's probably not relevant to Github hosting - Github would very much like to continue to operate in the EU.

By the US government by Trump's ban on American companies doing business with them. So yes, at the time Huawei were forced to try and build their own independent versions and it didn't work very well at all.

Breaking DRM to rip physical media isn't legal in basically any mainstream country in the world (since membership of the WTO requires you to pass an anti-circumvention law). Heck, in major nations (like the UK) ripping unencrypted medi

The Portuguese exemption only applies to copyrighted media where the person doing the copying is doing it from a copy that they already owned and obtained legally, it in no way permits you to stream or torrent content from the internet.

The wording has not been changed at all, so it's still being deployed. They just seem to have made a clumsy fudge statement at a meeting about it.

The fact it has a proper dark mode that doesn't require sites to support it is one of it's best features IMO. It is a lifesaver when trying to get a small child to sleep.

Samsung's Browser will very likely overtake Firefox in share this year. It's just Chromium, but it's superior in performance and features IMO to Chrome itself.

Part of the problem is that it isn't as fixed as you think it is, and varies internationally quite rapidly too.

Netflix has very little interest in participating in this (to be honest I expect some of the others see it as a temporary arrangement to build share that they will pull out of at a later point too). They have agreed to do it in a few cases

I too have changed my mind and do want to do the washing up, ten minutes after realising that I have clearly lost the argument with my wife that it's my turn and desperately trying to redeem some credit for it.
