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.

      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.

      Most people in developed countries have internet that can support HD resolutions, yes. Mine even does, and our building’s wiring is original to the 50s.

          Respectfully, I’d consider large parts of Canada to be undeveloped. I’m not trying to throw shade or anything, there’s just a lot of Canada to develop.

          The same is true to a lesser degree in the US and most other very large nations.
