  2. Mám dobrou a špatnou zprávu:

    Ta dobrá je, že mi opět funguje #skyshowtime na notebooku s #linux za pomocí GoogleTV hacku přes #waydroid

    Ta špatná je, že vlastně ani nevím, jak jsem toho docílil a taky že jsem s tím strávil pršavé dušičkové odpoledne

  3. V marné naději vyřešit dementní požadavky na extra DRM od Sky Showtime jsem zkusil knihovnu fakeDRM
    github.com/tom3q/fakedrm

    Buď jsem až moc lamka a nebo to nic nedělá...

    Tak holt Tulsa King fakt budu nucen dosledovat na mobilu...

  4. A co hůř. #skyshowtime přestal fungovat pomocí hacku přes #waydroid

    Tudíž asi jediná cesta jak dokoukat seriál, je na mobilu

  5. (apologies for the delay, found out screenshot tool I use for Chrome to bypass encryption, has been disabled by Amazon for Prime Video, so now I have to submit a very long bug report to get that fixed, I don't think dev knows that Amazon has blocked the tool)

    (DRM Sucks)

  6. Blocking it via DRM is a barrier.

    As Steve Jobs said, DRM is a bag of hurt.

  7. I know this may all sound first world problems DRM like widevine ruins the streaming and sharing experience. Sports and media is meant to be shared, especially live via screen captures.

    #DRMSucks #Encrypted

  8. There is a screen cap tool that can bypass encryption without turning off hardware acceleration on Chrome. But with encryption turned on, the screen cap tool acts a bit sluggish and can’t capture every frame.

    #DRMSucks #Encrypted

  9. Unfortunately this meant worst fears confirmed, and came true in last few days: encryption DRM has been turned on for ESPN+ stream, meaning screen cap is no longer possible on iOS or iPadOS or on Safari on Mac.

  10. Well, still on summer break right now from live sports posting, but noticed something since during NBA Finals: while back ESPN started using same player type on web for ESPN+.

  11. Oh yay it's ditch kindle day.

    Actually I am pretty pissed off as a consumer about this because I bought a scribe instead of a Remarkable because it was cheaper AND I COULD COPY MY PDFs AND PAPERS EASILY.

  16. Pondering the best way to get books while dealing with the #DRM cult.

    I have a #Kindle so honestly as long as I get just books it's probably not gonna be a problem unless I buy Manga and Comics in Linux at least.

    I wish there was a more Linux friendly way to do this, but so far there isn't.

    I am also working on getting my Calibre library cleaned up and the Metadata added and embedded as much as possible.

    What I really need is either to not buy from a DRM based buyer or suck it up.

    But that's really the biggest issue we all have isn't it.

    Thoughts?

  17. Trying to get an install of Kindle for PC working in Wine today. You would think something like it wouldn't be garbage in Wine but apparently it is.

    Gonna see about options as I play around. Any input is welcome.

  18. ... (2/2)

    Relative: Amazon Prime
    Me: (Oh shazbat.) Umm, forget it. You'd have to pirate it, first.
    Relative: I ended up just turning on closed captioning.
    Me: Yeah, that's about the only option in that case.

  19. Part of this involves testing all my games in offline mode, because DRM. I don't want to be on the 14-hour flight and find that a game gets pissy because Denuvo can't connect.

  20. Well, I’m afraid #TNF screenshot will be bit delayed

    Amazon finally decided to start encrypting the live sports feed as well. So screenshot on iOS and iPadOS is impossible.

    So need to set up my Mac quick.

    #DRMSucks

  21. Well, one thing for sure tonight: I'm glad MAX FINALLY ADDED Sports from Warner Brothers Discovery Sports.

    It has rewind feature so itc comes in handy.

    (unfortunately feed is encrypted so no way to screenshot on iOS and iPadOS. it can be screenshot on Mac via Chrome)

  25. Well, Bad News……

    Latest YouTube app update adds encryption to NFL Sunday Ticket Feed, meaning if you are on iOS and iPadOS, screenshot is now impossible.

    To screenshot, you have to use Chrome on Mac with hardware acceleration disabled to block OS’s DRM encryption feature.

    #DRMSucks

  26. Well, Google has done one thing right about Sunday Ticket already on YouTube app on mobile: YOU CAN SCREENSHOT THE GAME, THE FEED IS NOT ENCRYPTED!!!!!!! (Except when connected to external display, then it turns on encryption)

    (On YouTube TV App, entire app is encrypted so you can’t screenshot at all unless you have a Mac or PC)

    #Screenshot #DRMSucks #NFL #SundayTicket

  27. So it seems that "if you work at #Google, you are part of the problem" is pretty valid. As is "if you use a Google product, you are part of the problem".

    Yes, i know how big Google is, and yes, your job may be "far away" from the idiots that are working on killing the web.
    Sorry, no excuse, you are indirectly helping them and Google.

    Yes, it is more work to not just use Google tech.
    Sorry, no excuse, it is possible to go #without Google products.

  28. So unfortunately looks like NBC Sports App ALSO started putting encryption into their video feeds, meaning if you are trying to share screenshot from the app, it’ll be blacked out.

  29. CW: El coche eléctrico va hacia el pago por uso del climatizador y de otras funciones

    motorpasion.com/industria/coch
    ¿Este es el futuro de la industria automovilística? Tracción a las 4 ruedas por suscripción, packs de ahorro de climatizador en verano o pagarlo por horas.
    ¿Somos tan estúpidos de pagar mensualidades por utilizar las funciones de un vehículo que ya hemos pagado?
    ¿Qué será lo próximo, que te cobren por cada pasajero que subas en tu coche o por uso del maletero?
