It’s just what it means in this specific context.
They’re not running directly on the host, with directly meaning directly.
If you go by definition, I agree with you, but the definition is not always the thing to go off of.

Have you read my comment? It’s about where the packages and services are installed.
In this case, they’re installed in the container, not on the host
Not in this context. Bare metal means all packages and services installed and running directly on the host, not through docker/lxc/vms
Yeah, but people don’t like change, and I’d expect low level engineers to like it even less.
And looking at Linux, that shit still supports ancient hardware, being able to actually get rid of old code (that now has to be maintained alongside the new code) is gonna be a PITA.
I’m just guessing, but what about backwards compatibility? Or cross-system compatibility?
For example, something like a syscall that’s existed for 20 years. Changing it would break old apps.
Of course you could just keep the now “old” syscall and add new methods that replicate it’s behavior, but haven’t you then introduced bloat? More ways to do the same thing, meaning (eventually) more bugs, more fragmentation, memory usage, etc.
I had no idea, thanks for the info
That’s on the tv manufacturers though, it’s their choice.
Oh I know, but I do think anti-trust would require an erection of some sort of barrier. Say, if HDMI required that if HDMI is present, displayport cannot be.
Right now, tv makers are complete free to choose.
Doesn’t mean displayport can’t be used there.
If the tv maker wanted to not pay licensing fees, they could put a displayport on the thing. But they don’t. Their call.
That’s not the point of my comment, the point is that whatever hdmi is, it’s got very healthy competition, so there’s no real reason for anti-trust stuff
But displayport exists, is widely used and is free?
I’m pretty sure that’s kinda exactly what happened though, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was just that no one thought to add a logo because engineers don’t care about shit like that (at least a lot of them don’t)
Yep, fair enough.
Yeah that’s very far from the definition of a scam. A bad product isn’t a scam, you know exactly what you’re getting, it’s on you if you “fall” for it.
Still more complicated than Netflix.
Also, none of the money you pay goes to the original creators. If I’m already paying, I want at least of the cash to go to them.
But this is a Piracy community. RD costs money. Not good enough. We’re talking about the “ideal” solution.
So that’s interesting, how exactly are they scamming people?
Yeah but you just named three things you’ve got to setup to work together, where RD is actually paid.
Netflix you open and it works, that’s my point.
Netflix, with everything and with an option to download an .mp4 if desired.
Have you actually seen the video?
It in no way talks about “hidden advertising”.
Words evolve, and sometimes, they gain new meanings. “Bare metal” is not a scientific terms, and so it can be bent depending on the context.
You can either accept that or not, it doesn’t change the fact that that’s what it now can mean.
