Disagree. In order to keep those keys secure they can’t publish them, so they’ll have to license some sort of decryption chip. That just pushes the price up as some manufacturer ends up taking a cut from every player sale.
Also means you can’t do what you want with it. You probably can’t play it on an open source device. Etc etc.
I won’t. “Copy protection” is much more about restricting and potentially even removing your access to something you’ve paid for than it is about preventing copying. I am not willing to buy something that can be revoked when alternatives are available.
I know, I modified it to make more sense for video.
I know. I changed the terms. Pray I don’t change them further.
Someone go make Steam for videos and I’ll pay for media again. My stipulations are:
My colleagues having a chat about their favourite tv shows in the operations channel at 7am have entered the chat.
Best of luck with that.
Better performance/more ram would be good too I guess but honestly having a unified platform with fixed specs to target has a lot of benefits.
I am not sure how Manifest V3 is relevant here?
Because they literally tout security as one of the primary reasons for forcing it onto people.
https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/intro/
The first line is “A step in the direction of security, privacy, and performance.”
https://developer.chrome.com/blog/mv2-transition/
“Manifest V3 is more secure, performant, and privacy-preserving than its predecessor.”
It’s the first thing they say.
If it doesn’t prevent a malicious extension from lifting your password in perhaps the most dumb and naive way I can think of, then it seems fairly disingenuous to describe it as “secure”.
Holy shit that’s too real. I come here to get away from work!
Ok so it’s my fault that now someone at Intel knows how much porn I look at because I clicked “next” on a beta driver?
They collect:
> The categories of websites you visit, but not the URL itself > > The information collected includes categorized web browsing history that shows how long and how often you visited specific categories of sites (i.e. social media, personal finance, or news). All site visits are classified into one of 30 categories. We do not collect URLs, web pages titles, or user-specific content without explicit permission from you. > > Software usage: for example, frequency and duration of application usage such as Intel® Driver & Support Assistant, but not the application content itself such as specific actions or keyboard input. > > Feature usage: for example, how much RAM you usually use or your laptop’s average battery life. > > Other devices in your computing environment > > Includes universal plug and play devices and devices that broadcast information to your computer on a local area network: for example, smart TV model and vendor information, and video streaming devices.
(the emphasis is mine, as is the minor reordering to not hide the browsing behaviour stuff at the bottom)
Yeah that’ll be a no from me there, bud.
I know. I don’t disagree. I’m just tired of everything being desperate to collect invasive amounts of information about me.
Because they invariably record way more data than they need to.
How bout just don’t install privacy-invading data collection services alongside a fucking device driver at all.
I had one. Those controllers were incredibly cheap and plasticky.
Yes, I’ve got one. I did a couple of (fairly unscientific) tests and couldn’t see a difference in temps or fan volume though.
With the big chunk of alumunium? I don’t think they actually improve cooling (certainly, the fan doesn’t run any less), they just put the heat in a place where you can accidentally rest your fingers on it.
You can trademark dictionary words.
You can’t trademark anything too generic, like you might struggle to trademark a drink called “drink” or something (although you might be able to trademark, eg, shoes called “drink”!), but there’s nothing stopping you trademarking words.
Oh, and, Adobe is an english word, too.
Yeah I’m not paying for something and it still be illegal. I’d rather stick to piracy. I get your point and if it works for you that’s cool. But it’s not for me.
A good usenet setup with the Arr stack can automatically download basically anything you want and costs tens of dollars per year to run with very little, if any risk. (have there been any prosecutions for people downloading from usenet?)
With a little bit of work and an old computer for a server you can basically run your own automated piracy streaming service.
