1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    More than just that was required for 4k netflix, when it worked. Last I heard they came up with additional DRM bullshit. I would expect Amazon to at least attempt the same thing

    Netflix 4K drm is apparently pretty solid, so almost nothing is available at that quality. I think I read that they have a watermarking system that allows them to identify who ripped it and ban the account.

    That's actually pretty clever. I wonder if the good old uncertified HDMI splitter method still works

    [–] MyPornAlt@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 11 months ago

    I think that's how the 4k rips that exist are captured, but that the watermarking is embedded in the video or audio, without any known way of removing it.
