Tried to support the industry by buying a movie a watch a lot. Well, no more. If I need a pihole just to watch a movie I own, that’s ridiculous.

Playstations
Surely you understood that I meant “dedicated Blu-ray players“? Come on. A video game console that also plays discs hardly counts. That would not be unusual for it to have network connectivity, which is what I’mdriving at
You can take the debate bro out of Reddit but not the Reddit out of the debate bro, huh.
fucking everything connects to the internet these days dude. You fridge, you tv, hell probably even your toothbrush what the hell comment is this? “what you are driving at” is a world that no longer exists, this smart tech shit is being shoved down all our throats as we speak.
My fridge does not. My toothbrush does not. I can also simply not connect my tv. So 1/3, and that one is optional. I get you’re being flippant/sarcastic, but figured I’d just make that clear.
A Blu-ray player plays physical discs. I can buy ones without internet. It’s not difficult. I have one right now lmao
And yes I agree it’s insane and being shoved down our throat. Which is why I am incredulous at the idea that a Blu-ray player needs to connect to the internet. Think through this a bit.
A 1080p player does not require internet connectivity but 4K/UHD discs need to phone home in order to get decryption keys on a per disc basis. There is a lot of discussion about this in the MakeMKV forums if you want to do a deeper dive.
Is it really that hard to imagine a future where DRM encroaches further and further on us? Your fuckin blue ray player might not connect to the internet but it is still region locked.
I really don’t think you’re picking up what I’m putting down here. No, it’s not that difficult to imagine, because it’s happening. I am saying it’s bullshit and I’m annoyed about it.
