Hello guys, I'm curious about this meme, is there some literature where I can find someguides to test this? Thanks.
You wouldn't pay for 4k Netflix and then download a Chromebook recovery image in order to extract the aarch64 widevine com blobs and then patch in support for 16k pages and then apply miscellaneous glibc compat workarounds and then spoof your useragent, and install a browser extension to unlock HD resolutions, to legally watch media in only 1080p
I can't believe people even bother with 1080P let alone 4K. Is there unlimtied bandwidth where you all live?
In my part of the world anything above 480p is just asking for a bad time, with no actual improvement on your ability to enjoy the story.
Feel you m8, where i live we are stuck for the most part with 10Mbit/s at most, an that's the high end stuff.
It depends what you are watching it on I suppose. If you're streaming content on a phone, then 480p is probably acceptable to most people. But if your connection can support a higher resolution without buffering issues, then why wouldn't you? Especially if you're watching something on a TV or large monitor, it'll look terrible in 480p.
Edit: I'm assuming when I said "why wouldn't you?" that you have unlimited data. Obviously if you have a data cap then that's a different story.
You know there is only so much bandwidth right? I get so tired of city people and there f'd up realityies.
Don't know why you think you know where I live. And you seem to have completely missed the disclaimer where I said "Obviously if you have a data cap then that’s a different story."
And just FYI, for areas with a decent internet network, whether in the city or not, your data use doesn't impact your neighbors' bandwidth in any meaningful way, assuming your ISP isn't massively over-subscribed. I mean all ISPs are oversubscribed to some extent, but then most people aren't download 24/7, so they typically size the 'pipe' to accommodate peak combined usage.
I'm perfectly well aware that if your local ISP's network is dogshit then this might be more of an issue. That's why they typically have data caps in those areas to discourage bandwidth usage. If you don't have a bandwidth cap then it's really the responsibility of your ISP to provide enough bandwidth for everyone to enjoy. You want to go around ranting at people for watching HD movies, go right ahead, see what happens. Try ranting at your ISP - it might be more effective.
No data cap, and its not even the download speed, though of course that sucks too unless you live in a city, even just wi-fi streaming inside home is shitty with 1080P.
Gigabit internet with no cap so yes. Also I'm used to 1080p so anything lower feels bad tbh
I agree and I live in Germany and have good internet. Story beats resolution any time
Too much effort, sailing the high seas is so much easier
Dear, OP
Kindly go fuck thine self.
Yours truly, This dyslexic idiot.
You might have already figured it out, but it says

Also I don't think OP made the meme, I think they're just wanting to know more (as am I). Like, what's the drama? Why'd someone make the meme? It implies Netflix only lets you watch things in 1080p on a PC if you apply a bunch of workarounds (presumably to make the site think you're a TV or something).
They limit the resolution on linux and even getting 1080p as a paying customer is very hard.
They also limit it on other platforms, if you use anything other than ~~Internet Explorer~~ Edge. Since Microsofts browser is the only one to include the Silverlight DRM plugin.
At the moment your service becomes even marginally more difficult than piracy, yo ho yo ho. What am I paying you for?
Every single "service" out there is more difficult than Stremio. Exception might be non-english content
