Not the brightest of those, imo: a while back they've opted their users in "discover together", which is basically sharing your watch history with your plex friends. That went over as well as you'd expect: https://www.404media.co/plex-users-fear-discover-together-week-in-review-feature-will-leak-porn-habits-to-their-friends-and-family/

Samsungs mostly, also shift and a few older models. Although, some have a crutch called displaylink, which basically encapsulates video signal over USB in software, while dp alt mode kinda* connects those same wires to the displayport output of the SoC (which is better due to having little to no overhead as well as ~no need for specialized overcomplicated hardware).

Also, some of the older models, like my beloved oneplus 6, don't even support USB 3, so dp alt mode is physically impossible for those.

* iirc, on qualcomms at least the SoC itself multiplexes USB 3 with dp (as in, it can be configured to output usb3 or dp on the same data lines), but I'm not sure how the switching itself is triggered, so there may or may not be a need to add another IC that'll handle communications over CC lines and tell the SoC when to use which. I personally suppose the SoCs should be able to handle everything themselves, tho.

Is it just me, or it kinda sounds like they don't want to prococess a complaint? A warning not to do that again would be enough, IMO, given it seems like there are no rules prohibiting this.

That's cool and everything, yet we have an itsy-bitsy tiny problem: iirc, there are like 3.5 vendors that have opted into dp alt mode support, and each one I know of kinda sucks. I suppose it might be possible to simply enable it in software by changing the devicetree on usb3 devices or something if the port the vendor decided to route is the one multiplexed with dp, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Yeah, right. Because those contracts are set in stone, and our corporate overlords won't ever take away the advertised ability to download books you've paid for, not to mention those very contracts being written in human-readable format and not lawyer speak. \s

Agreed to disagree then. IMO, if a company thinks it's OK to throw me over the dick hiding behind being afraid of shadows, deny me access to legally obtained content on my devices, walk back on previous deals, and so on, then I have no problem with getting unrestricted access to stuff they decided I don't technically own. Fuck the fucker, simple as that.

Baseless (and also wrong) assumption that piracy is responsible for by any means significant monetary losses aside, there are other reasons for bypassing that DRM bullshit. Like, off the top of my head:

• archiving -- when you don't have a local copy of a piece of content, it can be changed or deleted at any time;
• ability to access stuff on a wider range of devices -- I want to be able watch my favorite coomtent creator in full resolution on my phone that has only L3 and quite outdated version of widevine without installing proprietary crapp, so what;
• bypassing bullshit restrictions -- not sure if onlyfans in particular does that, but we have Netflix, for example, that would tell you to fuck off when you're not watching from home be it VPN or an actually different location when traveling.

Mine doesn't even care if the phone is rooted, and most of the stuff can be done via a web interface. On the flip side of the coin, this shithole has SMS as the only available "2FA" method

I mean, as long as it works, why would they? Like, I'm also unlikely to suddenly go converting all my nix spaghetti into some new and shiny thing unless it makes doing something I need considerably easier

While not in the roadmap, I'd like to try adding squid[.]wtf and possibly lucida.{s,t}o (although, it's been rather unstable lately) downloaders, if you're interested

Probably not, given it depends on bluez
