Comment on Netflix bad... Shocker, I know
horse_battery_staple@lemmy.world 3 days agoSay you want a ham sandwich. I’m going to sell you a ham sandwich. However the sandwich you get is missing the titular ham of said sandwich. There is still good bread and mayo and cheese. But did you buy a cheese sandwich? Would you complain?
This is the crux of OPs post. They’re not getting what they pay for.
Isn’t it more like buying a 4K texture pack dlc for a game and finding out your GTX 1070 can’t run it? The problem here seems to be getting max settings on unsupported hardware.
I think Netflix sucks and that OP should get a refund…but I also think Netflix provided what was paid for
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…
No, linux and Firefox are both capable of running 4k resolution.
If you want to use the gaming analogy this is like buying a triple star game but not being able to play it due to kernel level cheat detect.
You cannot place the onus on the consumer with this.
Fair enough on my analogy being bad. Your second one is much better but I think it would be more accurate to modify it to “not being able to play a triple A game because you use Linux and the anticheat won’t run.”
I think we can both agree that these are both anti consumer practices.

I honestly think that their 4k premium plan is a scam. I pay more for 4k but can’t use said 4k… SO THEN WHY EVEN OFFER IT

4k works great on most TV devices, that’s where they expect people are consuming it. I think the crux of the complaint is actually that they don’t make any of that clear before you waste money on it.

Not when Netflix is throttling 4K bitrate. Shitty site but there’s a good writeup here. I’d suggest ublock origin or Firefox reader mode.

I get every resolution I download. Natively on my linux and mac machines. Follow the above recipe and you can too.

I’m no stranger to 🏴☠️. I have the entire *arr stack and jellyfin setup on my server… Unfortunately it’s dead atm (waiting for a replacement drive). I just wanted to try the other side for once… Yep, not making that mistake again.

Zfs and redundancy are your friends. I’ve not been stopped by a dead drive in over a decade
