Not possible, widevine L1 needs hardware-level DRM which depends on manufacturer support. So unless there are actual TVs / set top boxes being shipped with Plasma Bigscreen, we're SOL 🏴‍☠

I mean yeah, it exists, but have you tried using calligra for anything productive? It is missing so many basic features and has lots of annoying bugs.

It's entirely web-based (their desktop app uses electron). It is quite good, has no problems with editing Microsofts shitty formats and offers a feature set on the level of office 356 web.

Downside: made by a Russian company which has since re-incorporated in Singapore I think.

I think this situation is not so black and white. Before we had the current gazillion streaming services and Netflix had almost all content, most would-be pirates weren't even thinking about piracy since the service was good enough. In the current situation with atrocious monthly fees and content being split across 10+ streaming services, there probably are quite a few who legally stream what they can get with their subscriptions and pirate the rest.

True, it's always a combination of resolution and bitrate, though I personally haven't had the kind of artifacting you are describing. However I also never stream movies etc below 1080p, so I can't judge how bad the encoding at 480p is on Disney+. In any case, provided the bitrate / encoding is sufficient, you can never reach the level of visual fidelity of higher resolutions with DVDs.

And how would you get stuff onto your homeserver legally?

Buy and rip Blu-rays, in some rare cases you can actually download DRM-free content, depending on your jurisdiction you may also be able to remove DRM protection legally.

Well with your DVDs the "HD resolution" question is easily answered: you don't get HD resolution. Weird comparison there. Especially since you complain about Disney+ not going beyond 480p in your specific case - so why buy DVDs with the same shitty resolution?

I'm all for media ownership, but I don't see the point in buying optical discs (with rather limited lifetime) at 720x480px resolution. Blu rays at least offer HD / UHD, but the plastic / coating will still degrade with time.

I think the way to go is a Homeserver (could even be a raspberry pi) where you can somewhat secure your storage with appropriate redundancy.

Ich freu mich schon auf die pay-or-okay soft paywall vorm Shoppen

Benutze das seit Jahren ohne Probleme.

Just use the newest driver and you'll be completely fine. Even with very recent hardware, everything works as expected for me.

People like to shit on Nvidia, which is deserved for their business practices and relationship with Linux in the past, however most who claim that there are issues clearly haven't used an Nvidia GPU under Linux in a long time.

It just works.

Nein.

Photogrammetry is very computationally expensive, I don't think current phones have what it takes to do it in an appropriate amount of time.

On PC, COLMAP is the OG suite, its data format is widely used even outside of COLMAP itself, for example in gaussian splatting or NeRf.

It's FOSS of course.

Kannst du das erläutern? Also wurden ausnahmslos alle, die keine Reservierung hatten, raus geschmissen oder nur die, die auf reservierten Plätzen saßen? Kenne das nur aus ICEs, dass man halt einen Platz reservieren kann, aber nicht muss (und dann u.U. auf dem Boden sitzt, wenn's hart auf hart kommt)
