    Where/how are you getting 4k/HDR content on the high seas?

    I went looking for Pluribus last weekend and the best I could find was 720p. Help.

    The zero dollars I'm willing to give Amazon is going up zero percent

    In other news, my media library is still playing at whatever resolution I want it to for 0 dollars.

    Interesting... My 4K Atmos price has been quite stable over the years.

    I’ve locked my money behind a “not paying for a streaming service from Amazon” tier.

    Cancel por subscription and memberships people. They'll keep cutting features as long as you keep giving them your money.

    Last time I checked you could give a visit to fmhy.net for free and make use of the tools and everything in there.

  • The Pirate Bay doesn't care about these things.

    Jokes on them, I don’t even get 4k on my phone and I have no fucking idea what atmos sounds like because it’s already too damn expensive on its own.

    Don't have a 4k tv still so I'm not giving Prime more money. But it does seem a bit Black Mirror, with always pushing the boundaries on the plans, and making them a little bit worse so they can monetise some feature for more money. Eventually they'll push too much and people will leave. Lots of services are just taking it too far now.

    It seems that way because Black Mirror is inspired by reality now. They even did an episode on enshittification last season.

    Prime was the service I cut first. First they decimated the music on the cheap tier (no more albums), and later that same year shoved ads into Prime Video. Now I save on that, and don't order as much shit I don't really need from Amazon.

    I now subscribe to Jellyfin Pro and VPN Plus. It's like Kaleidescape, but for poor people.

    Jellyfin Pro

    Jeez, don't scare me like that! For a second I thought that might've been a real thing and they'd started enshittifying like Plex did.

    This might matter if there was anything on Prime worth watching. It's a ghost town.

    I need to go back to the high seas, because while they don't have as many good shows as other streaming services, they do have The Boys and Reacher among a few other lesser known shows. They also have a bunch of good movies I've recently added to my queue.

    Pretty funny that most movies are mastered in 2k.
