The likelihood is that bad actors do. It's one of the reasons I disliked Twitter forcing the use of mobile numbers for 2FA, they're just not sufficiently trustworthy. And I have an account under my real name! If I were a political

On some devices Kodi can pass through to the platform native DRM if that supports higher resolutions, but bluntly you will be wasting your life waiting for updates as it breaks constantly.

Yeah, this is the big kicker in my everyday life. I download music on Spotify so I can use it on the tube with no internet connectivity. So why does the page for any downloaded album seemingly require connectivity to load FFS? How am I supp

I think it is more likely there is a specific issue with your device or connectivity.

This is a myth. Netflix's DRM is sufficiently good that the Reddit Piracy subreddit has spent the last three months moaning that they have no access to 4K Netflix rips, at least for weeks or months after the content comes out. Netflix&

Plenty of people have tried to build a peer to peer streaming system. Amazing tried for years. They work like garbage in practice for mainstream users.

It must be said, that just because an IP management company would like to sell the rights to make some movies does not mean any studio is interested in buying them or funding such a title. Microsoft spent years "exploring" a Halo

Someone in Google Play's management seems to have an ideological opposition to users being able to identify updates, presumably under the guise of simplification.

Yeah, there's not much difference between them on this sadly. Sunak might not have said something as transparently daft as two internets, but he still wants two thirds of the websites in the world to age verify their British visitors,

Linux will never get better than 720p, and maybe even 480 in some circumstances as it's unlikely your machine can pass up a signed HDCP chain of trust. (Somebody will point out that HDCP support was added to the Linux Kernel here, but

No, you can't record with OBS. The entire point of WV L1 is that nothing in Userland can see the pixels because they are not composited until the last second of the hardware's output path. You will just get black pixels, and no so

Netflix has gone to considerable lengths to block access to the vast majority of it's content if it detects you're using a VPN for years now, so it probably doesn't have much effect at all.

Anything that Netflix serves higher resolution pictures to has a closed encrypted renderer and protected memory right down to the HDMI controller with driver and hardware certificate signing to make sure you can't do this. That is lite

No it doesn't (except on ChromeOS where Google provide Widevine Level 1 because they control the OS hardware access). Chrome has access to 720p because it only has Widevine Level 3 on MacOS or Windows.
