<p>You can literally just buy any Sony and turn it onto dumb TV mode and not connect it to a network.<p>That's it, that's all you need to do, and the level of crazy over engineering and spend by some people below achieves literally nothing more at great difficulty.</p>

<p>The main thing this makes me feel is "why doesn't the iPad recognise the user by FaceID and give my five year old the appropriate experience  and block my apps if this can?"<p>Which is perhaps not the feeling Apple intended.</p>

<p>Fwiw both Airplay and Google Cast support both modes of operation.<p>But frankly Apple's developer documentation <i>sucks</i> around this, and unsurprisingly people don't understand what's going on when even developers don't.</p>

<p>It's really frustrating that there is no ability to reclaim the drive space in MacOS 27, especially on Macbooks with M1 or M2 chips that can barely use the models. Another great sign of how the OS is deeply on fire IMO.</p>

<p>The EDID is just a model identifier and some capability metadata, it can't tell Windows to do anything.<p>It's Windows that decides that it should download a driver from Windows Update because it recognises it hasn't got a driver from that hardware, and it's Microsoft that let the vendor submit drivers that are bundled with near malwareto Windows Update.</p>

<p>> But on the other hand, it remains a very powerful incentive for publishers and developers to reconsider their choices, as these devices still do have a non-trivial marketshare.<p>There's really nothing to suggest this has been the case.<p>I very much expect Valve to implement a hardware backed attestation and signed driver model for future hardware.</p>

<p>> For things like movies, they should have negotiated a contract where sold copies are sold copies and cannot be revoked (even if their right to sell/rent copies lapse).<p>It's difficult to see how this could ever be possible without significant legislation changes. Nobody (but nobody) offers this, and in the vast majority of the world you literally can't buy out music rights in this way for any licensed music in the titles. That's why literally no online store offers this.</p>

<p>The announcement only seems to have been sent to users in the UK and MoviesAnywhere is a US only service. Also StudioCanal are ultimately the rightsholder who would need to join MoviesAnywhere, and they are not members.<p>(I am a bit surprised they didn't bung Google and StudioCanal a bit of money to move them to Google Play to avoid the bad publicity though.)</p>
