  • No, the thing is, I never even mentioned Linux because I paid for Netflix, knowing it won’t work on it. My problem is that even on supposedly “supported” platforms like my M3 MacBook air, I’m still not getting 4k.

    It’s an unmodified, unfiddled with, bog standard MacBook air. If that isn’t “supported” or “trusted” hardware I don’t know what is…

    And if we’re talking hardware capabilities, this thing can play multiple 8k streams at the same time without even warming up so… I highly doubt it’s a hardware capability issue.





  • “It’s just like that” isn’t good enough. Again, I’m paying more for 4k. There were no disclaimers that it only works on TVs or what I’d have to do to get it to work on my "unmodified* Mac… I expected to have issues on Linux but not being able to play 4k on my Mac is way too much for me…

    Welp, guess the 7 seas are a more welcoming environment for rapscallions like me then. (I just wanna get what I’m paying for)




  • I have no issue with paying for services and software in general. If the service provides me with what I expect from it. For eg, I can very easily pirate games but choose to buy a lot of them, especially indie games on steam because steam offers and has offered me an excellent service for years…

    But when 🏴‍☠️ becomes more convenient, easier and can provide a better experience for less effort is the moment when I stop paying… I’m not gonna pay for the privilege of maybe, if the fcking stars align getting permission to watch 4k. I pay for 4k, you give it to me or I stop paying, simple as that.
