we live in hell

I don’t even understand the pitch? you have the disc playing, in your hands, your ownership, no buffering, no subscription required. and they’re saying…hey do you want a worse experience?

    It’s not particularly hard to open and disconnect the Wi-Fi antenna. But it probably voids the warranty.

    I’m not excited for the day they realize that HDMI allows the transmission of network traffic through the device it’s plugged into.

    Why that’s in the design, I don’t know. But I also don’t understand why HDMI has fucking DRM built into it.

      But I also don’t understand why HDMI has fucking DRM built into it.

      If I remember correctly, the DRM was a result of pushback from the MPAA back when Blue-Ray and HD-DVD were coming out. They didn’t want a digital signal that could be easily recorded like S-Video or composite.
