Can't let those filthy legit users own the content they pay for now can you?

I suggest also backing up your content soon, in two years Apple will get rid of Itunes entirely and go only streaming.

Is this a legit sourced piece of info or just speculation?

All this bullshit surrounding 4K (Netflix's 4K restrictions on Windows come to mind) make me really not want to upgrade any time soon.

I'm perfectly happy with 1080p so far. On my TV that's more than enough at the distance I'm usually watching from and on my PC I'd rather have higher framerates than 4K. You just can't compete with 144Hz for games.

Don't forget the restrictions on 4K Blu-ray.

Must be a 7th gen Intel CPU, can't even be an i9 because it lacks SGX.
Must have a monitor/TV [I]and[/I] GPU supporting HDMI 2.0a with HDCP 2.2.
Has to be played in a specific drive that all of them are manufactured by [I]one[/I] company.
Must have specific software due to encryption keys, all of which are services so reoccurring subscriptions.

Or you could buy an Xbox One S and have a TV/monitor supporting HDCP2.2 and HDMI 2.0a.

Or just give up because it's not worth the hassle when McPirate over there can watch his (uncommon, but exists) 4k rip on his Ryzen based PC with no problem.

4K Blu-ray is a scam.

If this is true, I guess I'll have to find a way to plug a different mp3 player to my car using the stupid ipod only plug from it because there is no way in hell I'll start listening to the radio again.

Go wild. These things are beyond easy to use. Literally pair it up to anything bluetooth and just start playing music. Seamless.

2160p is amazing, its just that film/show companies are insanely dumb about implementing what is literally just a resolution boost.

for gaming its insanely worth it when it comes to games that don't require a high framerate. For games that ARE based on reaction timing, 1440p/144hz is way more worth it. For general use I love it because it absolutely makes everything crisp and clean, and allows you to fit far more information on screen with far less effort.

It's not like you need a totally wild insane computer either.
