Comment on Netflix bad... Shocker, I know
glimse@lemmy.world 3 days agoIsn’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, 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.
You’re telling me. I work in pro AV/networking and have to worry about DRM and HDCP handshakes all day.

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…
