An unlocked bootloader that can’t be relocked IS a major no no since in that case it’s impossible to verify the integrity of the operating system and prevent malware from loading during boot up.

That’s not the reason, the real reason is Fairphone doesn’t take security seriously. The GrapheneOS devs have called them out numerous times on that.

It’s not his real name

So does DVD and can be bypassed just as easily these days

Oh all those full screen DVDs are in fact pan and scan just like VHS.

But both formats have DRM and sometimes the Blu-ray is basically the same price or even cheaper. Sure DVD was easier to crack but that’s not an issue these days.

It’s not even 480p, it’s 480i with a resolution of 720x480 regardless of whether the content is 4:3 or 16:9, the pixels get stretched one way or the other. That’s for NTSC discs, PAL discs have a higher 576i (720x576) resolution but the movie is sped up 4% cause it forces 25fps when it should be 24.

Blu-rays are great, DVDs not so much unless it’s an old title that was never released in 1080p

Yep turns out that was the issue :o

None of the ones on the US West Coast are working for me on Lemmy.ml
