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

It’s going to be way easier just to torrent the files. Also if netflix notices your account is suddenly going through ten times the data they may deactivate it.

But the author is actually using less data than expected, because he’s paying for 4K, but only able to watch up to 1080p

This level of effort is probably geared more towards those who create the torrents, not those who consume them.

Hi. No it isn’t. Things are usually ripped by recording the screen.

Which is accomplished by doing the described steps

Nope, those steps are the steps needed to legally watch Netflix on Asahi Linux on an Apple Silicon device, because Google has not officially released the widevine library for that platform

Maybe can we emulate this apple silicon processor? I will give it a try.

No the fuck it isn’t.

YOU CAN BREAK HDCP BY USING AN HDMI SPLITTER.

I removed my downvote after realizing you’re actually right, in a sense. In scene terms, a “webrip” can be a screen recording, whereas a “web-dl” by definition isn’t. By these definitions,

Things are usually ripped by recording the screen

could likely be true, even moreso if you count “recording hdmi stream after breaking hdcp” as a screen recording.

Most rips are webrips. At least the first ones. Then once the DVDs/BluRays come out they’re usually remuxes of those. Very few organizations know how to breake the web DRM thing, and it takes a while.

Rips are rips, with a degradation in quality compared to the captured source. WEB-DLs are the source itself (of a chosen resolution), with no degradation.

heroes. we should support them more.
