Reverse engineering android apps. I wrote a bit about it in [0]. In the weekend I also started doing another one. It's interesting to see how these apps behave.
I am confused, as the link appears to say the opposite.
> Conclusion:
>The majority of 4K movies (75%) I tested have bitrates over 100 Mbps and many seconds where bitrates spiked over 100 Mbps. Some have 100s of seconds where bitrate spikes over 100 Mbps, and will most certainly cause problems if played with bandwidths less than 100 Mbps on devices that don't buffer well such as the LG TV or Roku TV. To make sure you get the best experience without any buffering or transcoding on such devices, you need to make sure you have a bandwidth that exceeds at least 150 Mbps to play most 4K movies properly. Ideally, it should be higher than 200 Mbps.
The highest average bandwidth shown was 73 mbps. You probably need 150mbps to comfortably play 1 4k move, but once you are looking at the effect 4k movies have on higher bandwidths, average bandwidth becomes more relevant. You could pretty easily stream 10 4k movies over a 1gbps channel since the odds that all of them will be over 100mbps at the same time is low (and even if it happens briefly, it will be handled by buffering).
> certainly cause problems if played with bandwidths less than 100 Mbps on devices that don't buffer well such as the LG TV or Roku TV
"If" is doing some heavy lifting there.
The linked post shows that the average bitrate of every sampled 4k movie was less than 75 Mbps. The author even bolded "on devices that don't buffer well such as the LG TV or Roku TV"
I have Jellyfin setup and there are times when 3ppl would watch something. My entire collection is the highest quality I can find on the net so normally a movie would be around 80-100GB.
Plus I have a service which downloads stuff for the archive team so that’s always doing some network traffic.
There is also a CI gitlab worker and that is also always doing some build with docker images from scratch.
I just wish more than 1Gbps was something that was offered and I can upgrade but so far I’m limited by my ISP with no way to upgrade. Inside my network I have 10Gbps and I have never hit that limit. It was expensive and I needed it for a now deprecated servicing.
The code says it uses the public key for uploading/encryption, and the private key for downloading/decryption. It's useful to be able to split writing and reading with cryptographic guarantees, for security or organisational purposes. E.g. if a client only has the public key and should it be compromised, it can't read the data. Or it allows you to have less strict access controls on uploading clients.
Because in 2021, culture is global. Your examples also don't really make any analogous sense, at all. You are free to learn whichever language you want. Under the corporate geofencing intellectual property regime, you are not free to watch whatever films you want. That is the issue.
To a recent years, lot of films where banned where I live and watching any of them is a felony! So location indeed affect what you're allowed to watch regardless of whether it's under geofencing intellectual property or another thing.
To be clear I wish I lived in a world where I can legally watch everything without a hassle. But there's no such world like that regardless of how much we want to exist. The same way there's no such world where we get paid equally ( doing the same work obviously) because we're living in different locations/countries!
We are not talking about films which are specifically banned, or content which is generally illegal. We are talking about content that is 'normative' and generally legal around the world, but is artificially restricted based on geofencing.
For example, attempting to watch a film that is legal both in Country A and Country B, but not being able to because of the region you are logging into Netflix from.
There is no intellectual consistency in what you're saying, at all. Freedom of Speech is only an actual guarantee (at least in text) in one country. And the electrons/bits in the wire obey physics like every other item the GP mentioned and as a result, are subject to the same political and physical forces that reflect in their regionally relative price.
What they are saying has nothing to do with rules or regulations. If the content of Barney is legal to watch in Canada, and the USA, there is no reason the show shouldn't be available to watch in both countries
Last I checked Apple TV doesn't even list the languages their subtitles are available in before renting/buying movies. Frankly this is just plain idiotic. I rented Parasite, but my girlfriend couldn't really watch it, since she doesn't speak Swedish. It's such an obvious piece of information they should provide. (And even if it's not obvious, I did email them letting them know. Somehow I doubt my feedback will come to use.)
If you live in the US, going on vacation to Europe doesn't affect how much salary you get paid or what language you speak, but it does impact the content you are allowed to watch.
Yes, that’s true if you only move within the EU. Has been the case for a few years now, also with other streaming services, due to new EU portability laws.
It's so silly. They could at least make it clear - I forgot about it on holiday in Canada, watched a couple of episodes of a series (enough to get into it), returned home to the UK and it wasn't there. I didn't realise until then that would happen; I hadn't even remembered that it was a possibility.
That assumption is definitely wrong! Not everyone in HN is making around $200k per year. The average in the US is about $110k. And still not everyone in HN is in the US or being payed US rates.
Of course if you value your time more than what your employer is paying you then you either need to leave your current job or rethink what's the value of your time.
I can relate to each one of those points. It's awful to feel treated unequally even though you're doing the same work. Before this trend of remote work, usually the solution was to just migrate to a developed country.
I genuinely dont understand the reason behind hijacking right-click (long press on phone). I'm using a slow internet, and I'm used to open multiple tabs so I can only wait for one and then go through all of them. So I'm eager to understand if this is done to stop people from copying from the site or there's another reason behind it.
I don't think right click is disabled? It's just that a bunch of the "links" aren't semantic <a> tags so you can't open them in a new window. (they're just <div> tags with onclick handlers)
I think this happens often in single-page-apps just because developer don't care or don't think about this use case. It's frustratingly common.
Works if you click the name of the case. I'm on Mac Safari FWIW.
Doesn't work on the image because they want that to click through the carousel. I think they are wrong (a regular clic can do that, plus they have navigation arrows).
But at least you can shop in the normal fashion, if you click on the text
>So I'm eager to understand if this is done to stop people from copying from the site
Disabling right-click for this purpose is like a lock on the front door to your house. It only keeps the honest person at bay. If I want to see the details of the site, there's no stopping DevTools. Hiding images div backgrounds or under click blocking divs is just a mere inconvenience. If the browser is displaying it, it can be gotten to in DevTools
