Hello guys, I’m curious about this meme, is there some literature where I can find someguides to test this? Thanks.

You wouldn’t pay for 4k Netflix and then download a Chromebook recovery image in order to extract the aarch64 widevine com blobs and then patch in support for 16k pages and then apply miscellaneous glibc compat workarounds and then spoof your useragent, and install a browser extension to unlock HD resolutions, to legally watch media in only 1080p

Don’t know why you think you know where I live. And you seem to have completely missed the disclaimer where I said “Obviously if you have a data cap then that’s a different story.”

And just FYI, for areas with a decent internet network, whether in the city or not, your data use doesn’t impact your neighbors’ bandwidth in any meaningful way, assuming your ISP isn’t massively over-subscribed. I mean all ISPs are oversubscribed to some extent, but then most people aren’t download 24/7, so they typically size the ‘pipe’ to accommodate peak combined usage.

I’m perfectly well aware that if your local ISP’s network is dogshit then this might be more of an issue. That’s why they typically have data caps in those areas to discourage bandwidth usage. If you don’t have a bandwidth cap then it’s really the responsibility of your ISP to provide enough bandwidth for everyone to enjoy. You want to go around ranting at people for watching HD movies, go right ahead, see what happens. Try ranting at your ISP - it might be more effective.

No data cap, and its not even the download speed, though of course that sucks too unless you live in a city, even just wi-fi streaming inside home is shitty with 1080P.
